It\u2019s right up there with the coin toss results and Gatorade color odds in terms of outside-the-box betting popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Puth is expected to sing the national anthem at Levi\u2019s Stadium around 6:24 p.m. ET today, just a few minutes before the Seahawks and Patriots kick off Super Bowl 60.<\/p>\n<p>There has been some controversy over the years involving the length of the national anthem, including last year with Jon Batiste.<\/p>\n<p>Most sportsbooks start their timer as soon as the singer belts out the phrase, \u201cOh say, can you see?\u201d They stop their timer as soon as the singer is finished singing the word, \u201cBrave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using this method, Batiste\u2019s version went for one minute and 59 seconds. This would have been a winner for Under bettors as the Over\/Under was set at 120.5 at the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covers.com\/betting\/football-sites\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other books start timing as soon as the first musical note is performed. In Batiste\u2019s version, you can hear a drum and a few notes on the piano before he begins singing. This added a few seconds on the Over at many sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<p>        Pages related to this topic<\/p>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" alt=\"Matt Burke - Covers\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770620534_728_f44106e4-5aeb-45a3-95b9-17c020620617.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Matt Burke is an online casino and sports betting expert.
