From Bad Bunny’s halftime performance to the color of the celebratory Gatorade bath, there are more than a handful of novelty props that bettors can consider wagering on for Super Bowl 60.
And the national anthem is another one that’s a part of that mix.
This year, singer, songwriter and producer Charlie Puth will take the stage to perform the anthem before the big game kicks off.
For years, sports fans have bet on the length of the Star Spangled Banner, among other anthem-related props.
Let’s see how FanDuel Sportsbook has handicapped this year’s patriotic performance as of Feb. 5.
