Super Bowl LII Halftime Show Props

Super Bowl LII Halftime Show Props

Written by on February 2, 2018

The Super Bowl has undergone many changes over the past 52 years. Did you know, for example, that tickets to the very first Super Bowl started at $12? According to SeatGeek, average ticket prices this year range between $2,500 and $3,000. However, one thing that has not changed is the incorporation of a halftime show. At the first Super Bowl, the marching bands from Grambling State and the University of Arizona entertained the fans, along with the Beach Boys. Marching bands were joined by entertainers throughout the next few decades, but the last Super Bowl to feature a marching band was Super Bowl XXII. Headliners came on board — it’s hard to imagine Carol Channing taking the stage now, as she did at Super Bowls IV and VI, but the names keep getting bigger. This year, Justin Timberlake will wow the fans on the stage in Minneapolis — and Super Bowl LII props betting enthusiasts have some fun choices as far as the prop wagers go. Take a look!

Will Justin Timberlake cover a Prince song? (Yes +200 or 2-1, No -300 or 1-3)

Prince, of course, was from Minneapolis. He worked at his Paisley Park studio in the city for years — and that was where he passed away. He wrote the song “Purple and Gold” after watching a postseason game between the Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys. Prince has been popping up on television ads on the NFL Network. The stadium’s nickname is “Purple Heaven.” Prince even gave a rousing rendition of “Purple Rain” when he performed at the Super Bowl, in, yes, a driving rain. So I’d say there’s an excellent chance of this happening. Some of the most predictable choices might include “Let’s Go Crazy” — a song the Vikings pipe through their sound system a lot — or “Purple Rain” itself. Then again, a montage might be fun. Along with “1999,” you have the top three favorite songs according to TopBet.eu, followed by “Raspberry Beret” and “When Doves Cry.”

Which Prince song will be covered first?

  • Let’s Go Crazy -200
  • 1999 +350
  • Purple Rain +400
  • Raspberry Beret +900
  • I Would Die 4 U +1500
  • When Doves Cry +2000
  • Little Red Corvette +6000
  • Delirious +6000
  • U Got the Look +7500
  • I Wanna Be Your Lover +7500
  • FIELD (any other Prince song) +750

How many times will the broadcast mention Janet Jackson?

  • (O/U 1.5)

How many times will the words “wardrobe malfunction” be mentioned during broadcast? (O/U 1.5 Over +300, Under -500)

The last time Justin Timberlake appeared on a Super Bowl stage, he was with Janet Jackson, and one of the most infamous moments in Super Bowl broadcast history occurred. Call it Nipplegate if you like, but the “wardrobe malfunction” occurred when Timberlake tugged on a piece of Jackson’s outfit, and her right breast was out there in front of an international television audience 140 million strong. Neither Timberlake nor Jackson will comment on the incident, other than a brief apology from Timberlake. You know that many of the viewers will be thinking about it, but there are few organizations that are as devoted to their own image as the NFL is, so the broadcasters could have received some feedback from upstairs to keep the mentions to a minimum. This is why the odds are so high on this prop…

Will the word “nipplegate” be said during the game’s broadcast? (Yes +500 / No -900)

There are also plenty of props that just have to do with how Timberlake will appear.

Will Justin Timberlake be wearing a hat when he begins his halftime performance?

  • Yes +110
  • No -150

What color will Justin Timberlake’s shoes be when he starts his halftime performance?

  • White 5-6
  • Black 2-1
  • Brown/Beige 7-1
  • Blue 10-1
  • Green 10-1
  • Red 12-1
  • Yellow 20-1
  • (predominant color)
So as you can see, there are plenty of ways to put your money on the table — just on the halftime show alone.
