The Star Spangled Banner

The main bet surrounding the National Anthem is the length. The over/under for country star Luke Bryan is set at 2:09. Bryan has performed the National Anthem in the past, and is usually under that time length but there will be a jet flyover for the Super Bowl. Traditionally, singers slow down their singing for the Super Bowl anthem, take the over.

Another bet is what Luke Bryan will be wearing, jeans (1:2) or any other type of pants or shorts. It’s safe to assume the country star will be rockin’ some jeans on Super Bowl Sunday. He sure sound excited about the opportunity.

"“It’ll certainly be a highlight of my career and my entertainment life, to be able to walk out there and hopefully perform the anthem in the way I’ve always dreamed I would do it, and to know there are 100-plus million people around the world watching that happen,” Bryan said in an interview with ET. “I think it’s more important for me to focus on being in the stadium and feeding off the energy of that, and not think about cameras in my face, cameras recording me and it going out all over the globe, and just trying to get wrapped up in the moment there. If I do that, I think it’ll translate on camera, and people will hopefully enjoy my rendition of it.”"

President Trump

President Trump is a part of almost every conversation so far in 2017. You can place a bet on who Trump will pick to win the game (probably New England (11:10)). You can also wager on the number of times he tweets on Super Bowl Sunday, if he mentions Tom Brady or Bill Belichick by name on twitter, or if he will be present at the game. Additionally, you can bet on the number of times Trump will be mentioned during the live broadcast. The over/under is set at 1 1/2 times.
