We have a very high total for the national anthem with bookmakers setting this north of two minutes. Only five times since 2010 has the total been over two minutes. The over is 3-2 in those with the under hitting when Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton sang the anthem – two country music stars. The over has hit in four of the last five and the over is trending north.

Broadcasters tend to go with the higher profile QB and while Sam Darnold is a better story, Drake Maye is the QB on the rise and regarded as the better player. Expect the camera to show Maye before Darnold.

Orange Lads the way since 2001 with five occurrences but it has landed once since 2017. Blue look the value. The colour has matched the team uniform just twice since 2017 but both those occasions were blue including the Patriots in 2019. The Pats have gone blue twice and clear/none four times since 2001.
