The estimated duration for the National Anthem is 1 minute and 28 seconds, and during the performance, bookmakers worldwide will be timing it from the moment Reba McEntire starts singing until she finishes saying the word "brave."

Which color will be used for pouring the liquid on the winning coach of Super Bowl 58? The most favored color this year is purple, with red following closely behind. If you are interested in taking a risk, the bet "No liquid will be poured" has the highest odds at +2000.
Usher and Taylor Swift are rumored to be performing together during the halftime show, where Swift will sing her hit song "Shake it Off."
