Will a Player or Coach Be Shown Crying During the U.S. National Anthem? (Yes -115, No -115)
Most famously done by former Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno and Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni in years past, crying during the national anthem is the ultimate battlecry. It shows passion, adrenaline, and raw emotion ahead of the game of a lifetime. There have not been many occasions of players outwardly boasting tears during The Star-Spangled Banner. It's less known, but Jason Kelce was seen emotional directly after Sirianni in Super Bowl LVII last year, but never shed a tear in the way Sirianni did. Make sure to check with your bookmaker on the grading there, because this may be worth a no if it means the tears must reach cheeks in order to be graded a yes.
How Long Will it Take Reba McEntire to Sing the U.S. National Anthem? (Over -135, Under -105)
This market has become a fan favorite sheerly because of its absurdity. We have done some research and dug up a previous performance from McEntire at an NFL game where she sang the national anthem prior to a 1999 Dallas Cowboys game. Ms. McEntire punched in a 90.5-second run, just short of the current total of 91.5 seconds. Her previous performances in the 1970s and 1980s were shorter, but we'll rock with the recency as our backbone of this narrative. Take her to go over in a dramatic performance.
Will Reba McEntire Be Wearing a Cowboy Hat or Chaps? (Yes +300, No -500)
Reba seems to have retired the hat in recent years, but chaps could be in play here. You could get a clean sweep if she chooses to go with either jeans or a dress, both of which eliminate the chaps. The cowboy hat could come into play with the jeans, but certainly not with a dress. I feel like Charlie in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with the chart and a cigarette. Reba doesn't strike us as a cowboy hat or chaps woman in the twilight of her career, so we'll tackle the no here.
What Will Be the Result of the Coin Toss? (Yes +100, No +100)
Ah, yes, the age-old coin toss bet. Unless you can get +100 on either side for a fun breakeven wager, we do not advise laying it on a 50/50 wager. That being said, tails never fails. You heard it here first, and you can thank us later when you see those team logos showing face up on the Allegiant Stadium grass. Don't believe us? Just look at the history! Tails leads 30-27 in the Super Bowl's history, it won last year, and it's gone on a four-year streak three separate times!
Who Will Be Shown First During the U.S. National Anthem (Kelce -175, McCaffrey +135)
How can it not be Travis Kelce? The man practically has the world in the palm of his hands. Between the massive amount of Swifty fans that will be tuned in along with the potential dynasty we are seeing unfold out of Kansas City, there is no reason for the CBS broadcast to give Christian McCaffrey airtime ahead of Kelce during the national anthem. Back the Chiefs tight end to see the broadcast before the rocket's red glare.
