The halftime performer for Super Bowl LV is The Weeknd, and his concert will just be part of the intrigue during the intermission. The Super Bowl is one of the most widely wagered events in the entire sports betting world, and you will want to consider these props as you decide your Half Time bets for the game.
NFL News: Super Bowl LV Halftime Betting Props
What song will The Weeknd perform FIRST?
Save Your Tears | +125 |
Starboy | +150 |
Blinding Lights | +225 |
Pray For Me | +250 |
Can’t Feel My Face | +400 |
Hawai | +800 |
I Feel It Coming, The Hills | +1000 |
Love Me Harder, Earned It | +1100 |
In Your Eyes | +1300 |
Lost In the Fire | +1600 |
You might as well go with some value here, because performers don’t always go with their most popular songs right away, instead choosing something slightly more obscure to lure the audience in before falling into their standards.
Will The Weeknd Mention Donald Trump?
Yes +700 / No -2500
Will The Weeknd Mention Joe Biden?
Yes +700 / No -1800
Will The Weeknd Mention Justin Trudeau?
Yes +1200 / No -6000
The NFL may be more concerned about its image, with respect to political issues, than any of the other major sports. Why do you think the NFL listened to Donald Trump and told its players to limit their protests once Trump got mad about those protests and started tweeting about them? It wasn’t until Patrick Mahomes and a few other stars released a “Black Lives Matter” video that the league, once again, followed the money and listened to those league players. So you can be sure that part of The Weeknd’s orientation included a directive to stay far away from Trump — and Biden. The same goes for Canada’s Prime Minister.
Will The Weeknd Change Outfits During Halftime?
Yes -280 / No +185
Halftime performers change their outfits as a matter of course. You might think that the COVID-19 pandemic might lead to a limitation on movement, but I think that will apply more to the people who are allowed down on the field during the concert. The Weeknd should have a clear path to the dressing room and back in a normal year, and that should still be the case this year, so there’s no reason to throw away money on the “No” side.
Will The Weeknd Wear a “Canadian Tuxedo”? Blue Jeans / Jean Jacket
Yes +350 / No -600
Now, if this were Don Cherry and the prop asked you about a wildly colored suit, the answer would be an easy “Yes.” However, the Super Bowl halftime show is a time for performers to make a lasting impression and grow their audience into new segments of the population. It is hard to see a Canadian tuxedo helping The Weeknd add to his fan base.
Will The Weeknd Test Positive for COVID-19 Before Halftime?
Yes +1200 / No -6000
Who will appear FIRST on stage with The Weeknd? (If no one appears, prop results in NO ACTION)
Daft Punk | +150 |
Kendrick Lamar | +175 |
Ariana Grande | +250 |
Future | +400 |
Travis Scott, Maluna | +500 |
Peter Gabriel, Gesaffelstein, Drake | +600 |
French Montana | +700 |
It’s hard to imagine Peter Gabriel turning up at a Super Bowl, although in the entertainment vacuum that has emerged in the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s hard to rule anyone all the way out. After that, it’s really anyone’s guess, which is what makes these halftime props all the more fun.
