- Amanda Gorman will be reciting poetry on the Super Bowl Preshow.
- Gorman’s poem at Joe Biden’s inauguration went viral.
- The sportsbooks have odds on many aspects of her performance.
LAS VEGAS - Amanda Gorman became something of a Twitter sensation with her poetry recitation at the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
The Super Bowl has decided to invite her to recite poetry on the Super Bowl Pre-Show, which is certainly an interesting cultural mixture.
The online sportsbooks are offering odds on what she is likely to talk about, and since this is Super Bowl betting season, let’s check them out.
Which Will be Said First During Amanda Gorman Poem
- Chiefs -125
- Bucs/Buccaneers -105
One might expect Gorman to mention the Chiefs and the Buccaneers in her poem, and this wager gives odds on which will be said first.
Note that if neither are said, it is not specified what will happen to any wagers placed. The Chiefs are favored in this contest, although why they are favored is unclear. Perhaps it is because they are favored in the matchup, or perhaps it is simply a quirk of the wagering public.
Length of Amanda Gorman Poem Recitation
- Over 284½ Seconds -120
- Under 284½ Seconds -120
As with any performance at the Super Bowl, the poem has odds on how long it will be, and the O/U line seems to be set at 284.5 seconds.
In a more understandable form, the O/U line is four minutes, 44.5 seconds. The Super Bowl Preshow is undoubtedly a far different venue than the Presidential Inauguration, and this could impact time taken.
Still, it seems doubtful that they would take the time to invite her and then restrict what she could say.

Who Will Amanda Gorman Mention First During Poem
- James Martin +110
- Suzie Dorner +130
- Trimaine Davis +150
According to NPR, the subject matter of her poem will focus on three Americans whose work during the COVID-19 pandemic has been inspiring.
There are odds on which she will mention first, with James Martin, a Wounded Warrior Project volunteer who has taken in a child during this trying time, coming out on top. Suzie Dorner is next. Dorner is a nurse manager in Florida, one of the states hardest hit by COVID-19, and the host state of the Super Bowl.
Finally, Trimaine Davis’ +150 odds bring up the rear. Davis is a teacher in Los Angeles.
Word Said First During Amanda Gorman Poem
- Hero -110
- Pandemic +110
- Super +225
Content wagers are always fun. These bets allow the sportsbooks to take action on wholly unpredictable outcomes. Nobody knows, of course, which of these words will be said first in her poem, or even if they will be said.
Hero, given the subject matter of the poem, does seem like a word that will come up, as does pandemic.
Super seems to be a nod to the Super Bowl, although its low odds reflect that the oddsmakers believe it will be mentioned far later in the poem. Still, it’s quite odd, and some might say refreshing, to see odds like this amidst the usual Super Bowl game lines and props.
For any who wish to wager, best of luck.
