Events like the Super Bowl often take prop bets to a new level of specificity and depth. What makes prop bets so enticing is their ability to call attention away from on the field action,. Halftime show props join the coin toss, the national anthem length, and color of the Gatorade bath as some of the more popular Super Bowl novelty odds available.
The main allure to the Super Bowl to me is the plethora of betting options available. Whatever you can think of regarding the game, and the events surrounding it, there is probably a bet you can make on it. This is unique to the Super Bowl, so it’s a once a year opportunity to bet on some of the wackiest things you’re going to see at a sportsbook.
Halftime show betting has become one of the most popular props on the Super Bowl outside of the game. If you don’t know who The Weeknd is, it’s okay, that’s not required to make money off the halftime show. The Weeknd is your Super Bowl LV halftime entertainer in 2021. Despite only 22,000 fans allowed into Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, the NFL is going through with their halftime plans.
While it may not be a packed crowd for The Weeknd, he’s going to get exposure from millions of people watching on TV from around the world. That’s the whole point of taking on the halftime show as a performer. This isn’t a paid gig, so it’s all about exposure to the biggest audience in the world. In other words, it’s a fancy advertisement for The Weeknd without pay.
If you don’t know who he is, he’s one of those performers that you might know when you hear one of his songs. He may not be as popular as Drake, but they’re both from Toronto and have some hit songs. The Weeknd will undoubtedly bring a friend or two on stage to join him. Now, if you can figure out who is going to join him during his performance at halftime, then you can make a lot of money on this. BetOnline currently has six halftime props for the halftime show. More will be added leading up to the Super Bowl.
I treat these Super Bowl prop bets as more fun wagers than anything else. Unless you have the inside loop, then it probably isn’t worth digging deep into the bankroll. Speaking of the inside loop, you’ll find low limits on some of these bets for that reason. The potential of a leak and high limits could wreck a sportsbook.

The Weeknd has collaborated with some prominent performers over the years. Now, I’m not overly familiar with Doja Cat, but aware that The Weeknd has a well-known song with her. Doja Cat appears in the remix for In Your Eyes. The Weeknd also has a song with Ariana Grande. She is a much bigger name than Doja Cat, but Ariana likely isn’t going to play second fiddle in the halftime show. If she was going to appear as the halftime act, then I believe she’d want to be front and center and not perform in the shadow of The Weeknd. That also goes for Drake.
Yes, you can bet on whether Ariana and Drake will appear in the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show. However, there’s no value on No, and I don’t see Yes coming through. Doja Cat for In Your Eyes, though? It seems like there is a chance of it happening. I’m confident that the NFL will want a female performer to have a minute at halftime. Doja Cat likely wouldn’t pass up the opportunity for some face time with millions watching around the world. Note that In Your Eyes was released in October. It’s a new song that The Weeknd will probably want to push. At +500, Doja Cat appearing at halftime seems like solid value. And here’s a pretty big clue: The Weeknd and Doja Cat share the same manager.
There are two versions of In Your Eyes by The Weeknd. Doja Cat is featured in one, while Kenny G is feathered in another. However, his soprano saxophone appears in the Doja Cat version as well, so it isn’t like they couldn’t perform together. They are just marketed differently for monetary reasons, with one song The Weeknd feat. Doja Cat and another The Weeknd feat. Kenny G.
If the halftime show producers wanted to put Doja Cat and Kenny G together on the stage at the same time for In Your Eyes, then that’s more than doable. However, if only one of them appears during halftime, then we’re still going to make out with a profit. We’re getting a nice price on both bets that only one is needed for a big payday. It feels like Kenny G is worth a look at +500, too.
This is a pretty simple halftime prop. Which song will The Weeknd perform first out of the gate during the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show? Blinding Lights has been his most popular song over the last year. Not only has it been one of his most popular songs, but overall out of any artist in 2020. Blinding Lights is currently No. 1 on the US iTunes sales chart. It just seems too easy for The Weeknd to open with Blinding Lights. While it’s a big song at the moment, I think one of his other standout songs is more popular over the course of his career.
Starboy is a song that might ring a bell with more people than Blinding Lights. It’s one of those songs that might make more people think, oh okay, I know this guy. I could see The Weeknd saving Blinding Lights for a little later in his performance. I’m going with The Weeknd starting slow, which Starboy is compared to Blinding Lights, and then picking the tempo up from there. Don’t expect him to go through the whole song, but likely long enough of an opener with Starboy to cash to get the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show started.
The Super Bowl halftime show used to be a great opportunity for television viewers to stretch their legs and make a trip to the fridge while traditional marching bands entertained the folks at the stadium. Now it’s an opportunity for you to bet on Super Bowl halftime props featuring the world’s most famous musical acts.
Singer songwriter The Weeknd performs the Super Bowl 55 halftime show and, as always, there are plenty of interesting prop bets you can make. Some people just need to keep wagering all game, even during the break, so here goes the list of props available.

Archived article from Super Bowl 54 below
For Super Bowl 54, on Feb. 2, 2020, the NFL announced that performers Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will be the stars of the Super Bowl halftime show.
As usual, the title of the first song performed and the over-under on number of songs performed are the prime targets for Super Bowl 54 Halftime Show bettors. The over-under was set at 8, with Let’s Get Loud and On the Floor the top two choices at 3-1 to be the first J-Lo song.
For Shakira, Whenever, Whenever was the first choice at +250.
J-Lo’s famous/infamous hubby Alex Rodriguez also gets his own prop. Oddsmakers figure A-Rod will be shown several times during the show. The line was favoring less than one time. That’s far less that J-Lo wardrobe changes during the show, which was set at 2.5.
If you think Will Smith or Marc Anthony may show up, you can bet on that too. If you think both Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will ‘twerk’ during the performance, there is more money in the bank.
