Jay-Z issued a statement alongside the league’s announcement of the Halftime show program. “Dr. Dre, a musical visionary from Compton; Snoop Dogg, an icon from Long Beach; and Kendrick Lamar, a young musical pioneer in his own right, also from Compton; will take center field for a performance of a lifetime.” Jay-Z said in his statement. “They will be joined by the lyrical genius, Eminem; and the timeless Queen, Mary J. Blige … This is history in the making.”

Early Super Bowl Halftime props are in full swing at the sportsbook exchange, and below we look at what’s on offer at the current time and serve up some choice picks to consider.

Super Bowl Halftime Props

Will the 5 Artists Collaborate?

  • Yes +150
  • No -200

Prediction: This seems like an easy and straightforward pick for sport bets, surely. Yes at +150! The bet practically leaps off the page as the smart bet, and with plus money attached to it too, it’s a steal.

Granted, the concert is limited on time. Each artist will likely be keen to maximize the spotlight separately in order to showcase their unique talents and select songs from an extensive catalogue of work. But as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, collaborating together especially toward the end for a grand finale to the show would seem to be a logical move. From an artistic and performance perspective, it’s hard to think of a better way to bring the house down.

Pick: Yes +150

SUPER BOWL LVI HALFTIME SHOW EMINEM FIRST SONG

  • Lose Yourself +275
  • My Name is +300
  • The Real Slim Shady +300
  • Without me +350
  • Stan +600

Prediction: Eminem is universally popular and his songs are well-known hits. Any one of the aforementioned songs would be a great choice to open his segment on. Lose Yourself is a favorite for a reason, and with plus money attached to it, it’s a great choice to bet on here. Then again, as one of his biggest hits, it might make more sense as a closer than an opener to his segment. My Name is and/or The Real Slim Shady are also equally recognizable songs that helped make Eminem a household name, and they might make more sense as openers.

Pick: My Name is +300

How Many Songs Will Be Performed?

  • Over 7½ -145
  • Under 7½ +105

Prediction: Considering five artists are on the program card, seven and a half songs seems like chump change that should be easily topped. Indeed, it’s the favorite outcome according to the Super Bowl prop odds here. The best bit is that at the price of -145, it isn’t a bad deal either. Feels like stealing from the bookies, to be honest.

Pick: Over 7½ -145

Will Snoop Dogg Smoke on Stage?

  • Yes +200
  • No -300

Prediction: Snoop Dog can be a bit polarizing and controversial, but given that this is a show hosted by the NFL, one would think the answer is No. It’s the heavily favored bet for a reason.

Pick: No -300

SUPER BOWL LVI HALFTIME SHOW WHO WILL SING FIRST?

  • Mary J Blige +170
  • Kendrick Lamar +250
  • Snoop Dogg +325
  • Dr Dre +500
  • Eminem +600

Prediction: Mary J Blige is the favorite artist to start first and with a price tag of +170 it offers good value for your money. Ladies first, as they say. Kendrick Lamar at +250 though would seem a good choice to kickstart proceedings too. He is a multi-talented artist with a wide range of musical influences that would be perfect to get the crowd going. Similarly, Snoop Dogg’s smooth brand of hip hop would be a great tone-setting act to start the show on. By the prop odds, it’s clear Dr. Dre and Eminem are expected to bring the curtain down on the show.

Pick: Kendrick Lamar +250

Eminem to Make Political Statement

  • Yes -150
  • No +110

Prediction: Eminem and politics came to a head during the Donald Trump presidency when the rapper lambasted Trump in a freestyle rap video. Eminem is no shrinking violet. Knowing his penchant for making statements and taking a stand on issues publicly, no matter how controversial, it’s not surprising that the Yes bet is favored here. It could make for good TV.

Pick: Yes -150

  • Yes +400
  • No -700

Prediction: If the Halftime show featured a single artist, the probability of debuting a new song would be greater. Given the limited time on offer and the number of artists involved, it’s unlikely a new song will be debuted by any of the artists.

Pick: No -700
