If the NFL odds are right, the cameras will find Chiefs quarterback Mahomes first.
Who Will be Shown 1st During Anthem?

- Nick Sirianni -115
Just like the aforementioned market featuring Mahomes vs Hurts, here bettors are betting on whether Chiefs coach Andy Reid or Eagles counterpart Nick Sirianni will be caught on camera first during the national anthem.

Super Bowl National Anthem Trends
In the last 16 Super Bowls, the over has cracked nine times, the under six times and there has even been one push.
Nowadays, musicians tend to lean toward longer belting renditions, seemingly milking the opportunity to be in front of a global television audience. The markets have adjusted to this tendency, going to press with higher lines than previously.
To look at the past trends in terms of specific times, seven of the last 10 national anthem renditions were over two minutes long. In keeping with this trend, the line for Chris Stapleton’s performance is set to 125 seconds – five seconds above two minutes.
