Super Bowl LV's 'Yes' odds only carry an implied probability of about 9%, while the 'No' odds have an implied probability of almost 97%. In other words, the odds don't expect a safety during the Super Bowl. Was There a Safety in the Super Bowl 2020? Since a three-straight safety scoring run happening from Super Bowl 46 through to the opening snap from scrimmage from Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 48, the two-pointer has gone radio silent in the big game. You can watch the whole Super Bowl 48 including this safety to start the game on YouTube. #Superbowl #seahawks #broncos pic.twitter.com. Super Bowl MVP Odds. Patrick Mahomes: +100. Tom Brady: +210. Tyreek Hill: +1200. Travis Kelce: +1300. Leonard Fournette: +2500. Clyde Ewards-Helaire: +2800. Super Bowl MVP is one of the most popular bets for the Super Bowl. Eight of the last 11 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks, as Tom Brady won the Super Bowl LV MVP award.

According to TMZ, Rechnitz, a New York real estate mogul, bet $500 at 50-to-1 odds that the first score of this year's Super Bowl would be a Seattle safety. After center Manny Ramirez's first snap.

The NFL definitely has a thing for Florida when it comes to Super Bowls, which makes sense. Just gotta cross your fingers that the rain stays away for one night.

Super Bowl 55 will take place in Tampa, Florida, at the home of the Buccaneers, one year after Miami Gardens played host to Super Bowl 54, which was won by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Tom Brady, now a Buccaneer himself, will clash with the defending champions in 2021's big game.

Tampa Bay is the first team in Super Bowl history to play in its home stadium. There will also be the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications hanging over the game.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's to roll with the punches. It seems nearly impossible that the NFL would allow its showcase event to be canceled, so expect the league to take that approach and just plow forward. At worst, everyone can sit at home, listen to Tony Romo's brilliant color commentary on CBS and judge Roger Goodell's mask during the trophy presentation.

Below is everything you need to know about the Super Bowl in 2021, the 55th iteration of what has grown into America's biggest sporting event.

SUPER BOWL PICKS: Against the spread Straight-up predictions

When is Super Bowl 2021?

  • Date: Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021
  • Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. (unofficial)
  • TV channel: CBS
  • Live stream: CBS All Access fuboTV DAZN (in Canada)

The Super Bowl has never been played later on the calendar than Feb. 7, with Super Bowl 50 (Panthers vs. Broncos) and Super Bowl 44 (Saints vs. Colts) also played on that date. It comes, as it often does, after a scheduled off week following the conference championship games. The Pro Bowl is played during that off week.

The 2021 Super Bowl was originally slated to be broadcast by NBC as part of its rotation with CBS and Fox that was agreed upon in 2006. But to package the Super Bowl with the 2022 Winter Olympics, NBC switched places with CBS, allowing CBS to broadcast Super Bowl 55.

CBS has broadcast the Super Bowl more than any other network, as this will be the 21st edition of the game shown on CBS. The network will surely have its top broadcast crew on the game, which means Jim Nantz providing play-by-play details while Tony Romo adds color commentary.

In Canada, the game will be broadcast on TSN and CTV, along with being live streamed on DAZN.

Every Super Bowl since 2003 has taken place during the first week of February. From 1967-2003, all but one Super Bowl took place in January.

Where is Super Bowl 2021?

  • City: Tampa, Florida
  • Stadium: Raymond James Stadium

The 2021 Super Bowl is taking place at the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but don't call the city itself Tampa Bay — that's just a construct used by professional sports teams. Raymond James Stadium is located in Tampa, Florida, the third time a Super Bowl is taking place at that stadium and the fifth overall time in Tampa.

The game was originally slated to take place in Los Angeles, but some construction delays meant that the NFL owners voted in May 2017 to move Super Bowl 55 to Tampa and instead give L.A. Super Bowl 56.

Safety

The NFL rarely awards Super Bowls to anything considered out-of-date, so it's only natural that Raymond James Stadium recently underwent renovations that include an advanced HD video system, with two large video boards (one at each end of the stadium) and four HD tower walls, ranking it as the third-largest video board system in the NFL.

Raymond James Stadium holds 65,000 people and can be expanded to hold 75,000, although in 2020, the Buccaneers haven't hosted even 20,000 fans at a game yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

'The Tampa Bay area has enjoyed great success over the years hosting Super Bowls and we look forward to working with our local leaders in the coming months to meet the requirements for hosting Super Bowl LV in 2021,' Buccaneers co-chairman Bryan Glazer said in a release. 'Today's announcement offers us the opportunity to showcase Tampa Bay's unique ability to come together as a host for world-class events.'

Super Bowl 18 (Raiders 38, Washington 9) was the first iteration of the game to take place in Tampa at the old Tampa Stadium, which also hosted Super Bowl 25 (Giants 20, Bills 19). The game came back to Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl 35 (Ravens 34, Giants 7) and Super Bowl 43 (Steelers 27, Cardinals 23).

Future Super Bowl locations, host sites

Halftime

There's a bit of added intrigue to the list of future Super Bowl hosts thanks to the NFL's recent decision to move the next Super Bowl that New Orleans hosts back to 2025. The Mercedes-Benz Superdome was slated to host the 2024 event, but a conflict with Mardi Gras combined with the NFL's 17-game regular season made that change necessary.

According to CNBC, the NFL will decide on the 2024 host during the next year. It'll look for what it does with all its hosts — the latest amenities and renovations, prime location for fans and the head honchos, along with pretty much always choosing a warm-weather spot (or if needed, a dome).

Below are the sites the NFL has pinned as future Super Bowl locations.

YearSuper Bowl host site
2021Tampa, Raymond James Stadium, Super Bowl 55
2022Los Angeles, Los Angeles Stadium, Super Bowl 56
2023Glendale, State Farm Stadium, Super Bowl 57

2025New Orleans, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Super Bowl 58

Super Bowl halftime show 2021

The Weeknd will be performing at halftime at Super Bowl 55, and yes that's spelled correctly.

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye is a Canadian singer-songwriter known as The Weeknd. He'll be following up a Super Bowl 54 halftime show that featured Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. The Weeknd is a three-time Grammy winner with a wide array of songs to choose from that hit a number of genres, from upbeat pop songs to mellower R&B tunes.

The Weeknd's three Grammy wins are:

  • Best Urban Contemporary Album: Beauty Behind The Madness (2016)
  • Best R&B Performance: Earned It (2016)
  • Best Urban Contemporary Album: Starboy (2018)

Sporting News' Joe Rivera broke down the ideal setlist for The Weeknd when the news was announced. Here's a look at the songs The Weeknd should perform.

Super Bowl national anthem singer 2021

The NFL announced on Jan. 19 that the national anthem singers at Super Bowl 55 will be Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan. Church is a highly acclaimed country artist, while Sullivan has been a fixture of R&B charts as a top-notch vocalist.

As part of the pregame festivities, there'll also be a rendition of America the Beautiful. That'll be sung by H.E.R., another R&B artist who's received 13 Grammy nominations over the past three years.

Super Bowl 2021 tickets

Bowl

If you're hoping to go to Super Bowl 55, know that it's not cheap. The COVID-19 pandemic could also change how many fans are allowed in the stadium, but the NFL right now is proceeding in its ticket sales like it's any other year.

The league's official Super Bowl ticket site offers four packages, starting at $6750. Those packages are as follows:

  • Touchdown club ($6,750) — includes ticket, all-inclusive pregame hospitality, NFL alumni experience, upper-level seats
  • 55 Live ($8,000) — includes ticket, all-inclusive pregame hospitality, NFL alumni experience, end-zone seats
  • Champions ($10,000) — includes ticket, all-inclusive pregame hospitality, NFL alumni experience, premium sideline seats
  • On the fifty (Price not listed) — includes ticket, increased stadium access (postgame on the field potentially), top sideline seats

A few years ago, Sporting News looked into how the Average Joe can afford to attend the Super Bowl. The easy answer, we found: It depends.

What Are The Odds Of A Safety In An Nfl Game

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released new guidance for how football fans can tackle Super Bowl Sunday while limiting their odds of contracting COVID-19.

What You Need To Know

  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released new safety guidance for watching the Super Bowl

  • The agency says the safest way to watch the game Sunday is from your own home with only those who live in your household

  • The CDC issued a reminder that large gatherings, especially indoors, increase the risk of becoming infected or spreading the coronavirus

  • For those who choose to watch the game outside their homes, the CDC recommends measures include social distancing, mask wearing and avoiding crowded areas at high-traffic times

The CDC says the safest way to watch Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday is from your own home with only those who live in your household.

The public health agency issued a reminder that large gatherings, especially indoors, increase the risk of becoming infected or spreading the coronavirus. That includes watch parties as well as the game itself, which is limiting capacity at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, to 25,000.

For those who choose to watch the game outside their homes, the CDC recommends that people:

Odds Of Safety To Start Super Bowl

Which Super Bowl Started With A Safety

  • Call the venue to ensure it has steps in place to prevent the spread of the virus
  • Follow signage at the venue to allow for social distancing
  • Arrive to the venue early to avoid crowding and congested areas
  • Avoid using restroom facilities or concession areas at high-traffic times, such as halftime or after the game
  • Avoid chanting or cheering — clapping, stomping and artificial noisemakers are OK
  • Wear masks when not eating or drinking
  • Use touchless payment methods when available
  • Limit alcohol consumption, which may make people less likely to follow safety protocols
  • Minimize the time spent in a restaurant, bar or concession area

The CDC also discourages attending the Super Bowl if it means traveling from out of town. Airports, public transit and hotels may increase someone’s chances of spreading or getting COVID-19.

The agency suggests that anyone attending a Super Bowl party should bring their own food, drinks, plates and cups; use single-use options for condiments and salad dressing as well as disposable food containers; and avoid self-serve and buffet-style dining.

Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, the CDC notes.
