Did Lady Gaga hit the over/under on National Anthem prop bet?
By Mike Dyce
Did Lady Gaga come in over or under singing the National Anthem on Super Bowl 50 prop bet sheets?
One of the most popular prop bets of the Super Bowl is the over/under on how long the National Anthem will take to perform. Lady Gaga had the chance to sing it this year and the over-under mark was set at 2:22.
First, Lady Gaga absolutely slayed it with her rendition of what is an incredibly tricky song to sing. And the race to cover was close.
A lone person seemed to have it on the under.
I had that National Anthem at about 2:12, but it was tough to hear in this sound-proof press box

Then a whole lot of others had it the over:

I had Gaga clocking in at 2:26, although I might have been a hair slow.

Feel free to use either tweet to try and convince your friends that you won this prop bet, but it looks like the over is the real winner. The consensus is leaning towards the over and the FanSided office clocked the over, but just barely.
It appears the official is UNDER though.
BREAKING: Bad news for those who had the over on Gaga's National Anthem. Bet ends on the "first brave," which came around 2 minutes.
