Super Bowl Halftime Show Predictions
Check out our expert predictions on the latest Super Bowl Halftime Show prop bets:
Will Kendrick Lamar Wear A Bandana During Any Point of The Halftime Show?
- Yes (-240)
- No (+160)
While this will be Lamar’s first headlining appearance at the Super Bowl, this won’t be the first time the Los Angeles native will have graced the stage during the big game. Lamar was one of several rappers to perform at halftime of Super Bowl 56, which took place in his hometown. The headliners were Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, but Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem were all involved.
Interestingly enough, the odds heavily favor Kendrick to wear some sort of bandana at some point during his performance in New Orleans. Lamar wasn’t wearing any headgear of any kind at Super Bowl 56. He’ll frequently don baseball caps when he takes the stage, but bandanas aren’t quite as frequent.
Given the way the odds shake out, I think there’s more money to be made betting against Kendrick to sport a bandana on Super Bowl Sunday.
Best Bet: No (+160)
Will Kendrick Lamar Wear A Hoodie During The First Song of The Halftime Show?
- Yes (-120)
- No (-120)
Lamar often opts for casual, iconic looks during high-energy performances, and a hoodie aligns with his style. The rapper sported a hoodie during several of his more prominent live shows in 2024, and it’s fair to assume his taste in style hasn’t changed much since the calendar flipped to the new year.
Could he dress up a bit more for such a big performance? It’s possible, but that wouldn’t really jive with the way Lamar typically dresses for concerts. The odds are at -120 for both options here, and I think a hoodie is more likely than not.
Best Bet: Yes (-120)
Kendrick Lamar’s First Pair of Shoes During Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show Performance
- Nike Cortez (-125)
- Nike Shox (-110)
- Nike Crazy 8 (+800)
- Nike Kobe (+900)
- Timberland Boots (+1200)
- Air Jordan (+1600)
- Cowboy Boots (+2000)
- Adidas Samba (+2500)
- Yeezys (+2600)
- Flip Flops (+3000)
The Nike Cortez has been a staple in Lamar’s performances, reflecting his roots and artistic persona. Lamar has literally designed his own versions of the Cortez, and we know artists are all about self-promotion. As they should be.
There are quite a few options for this prop, but Kendrick’s personal connection to the Nike Cortez makes this one a pretty easy call. Something tells me he won’t randomly sport cowboy boots, while Yeezys and flip-flops would seem rather unlikely.
Best Bet: Nike Cortez (-125)
How Many Diss Tracks Will Kendrick Lamar Sing About Drake During The Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show?
- One (-3000)
- Two (-500)
- Three (+200)
- Four or More (+550)
“Not Like Us,” Lamar’s recent hit, is expected to feature prominently in his setlist as the only diss track aimed at Drake. This is one of Lamar’s most popular songs in years.
Drake is trying hard to make sure Lamar won’t be able to perform his iconic anti-Drake track on Super Bowl Sunday, but I think his efforts will be in vain.
Kendrick’s catalog is deep enough to where I doubt we’ll get any more Drake diss tracks. Artists have a small window in which to fit quite a few songs during the Super Bowl’s halftime show, and Lamar has quite a few other songs that’ll likely get pushed to the forefront.
Best Bet: One (-3000)
Number of Songs in Kendrick Lamar’s Set
- Over 10.5 Songs (-130)
- Under 10.5 Songs (-110)
While the NFL gives Super Bowl halftime performers some leeway, they still have a limited amount of time on stage. Rather than performing full songs, we’ve seen quite a few artists opt for truncated or medley versions of their hits. They’re trying to cram as many tunes as they can into a short window.
Over the past few years, most artists have had time for 8-to-12 songs during halftime. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira combined to play a whopping 15 songs when they took the stage together in 2020, which was certainly on the high end. The aforementioned Super Bowl 56 show featuring Lamar, Dr. Dre, and a few others only included 10 songs. The Weeknd performed 9 songs during his 2021 show, and Usher got through 10 at last year’s game.
The over/under of 10.5 songs for Lamar in 2025 is a sharp line. Because I expect Kendrick to go fairly deep into his catalog, I’m comfortable with the over on 10.5 songs for him at Super Bowl 59.
Bet: Over 10.5 songs (-130)
