Lovers of music and football collide like NFL linebackers and running backs every year for one of the most sought-after gigs in the world: the Super Bowl halftime show. This high-profile performance for Super Bowl 54 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers is only days away and will feature Latin pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, the first female duo slated to be front and center in the game’s history.

Some viewers use it as a great opportunity to get a second helping of chips and dip while others use it to see one of the most bombastic musical sets you can see in 14 minutes or less.

As always at Odds Shark, we use it as an occasion to visit our favorite betting sites and bet on Super Bowl halftime props, as the online sportsbook Bovada wasted no time getting up some betting markets to handicap that don’t necessarily involve the actual game.

Background on the Super Bowl Halftime Show

Prior to the 1990s, the Super Bowl halftime show wasn’t the spectacle and needle-mover in pop culture that it is today. The NFL mainly featured university marching bands or occasionally an artist that was past their prime like Chubby Checker in 1988 for Super Bowl 22.

Don’t get me wrong, I, along with my grandmother, love “The Twist,” but it wasn’t until Michael Jackson took the stage in 1993 for Super Bowl 27 that the production standard was set, and expectations have grown each year. While it’s technically an unpaid performance, the Super Bowl routinely gets the best of the best from all musical genres just for the exposure alone.

After the Nipple-Gate fiasco involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake at Super Bowl 38, the halftime show went through a rock phase from 2005 to 2010 which had the likes of Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and The Who.

Now, the halftime show draws upwards of 115 million viewers at a time like when Katy Perry performed at Super Bowl 49 or when the Rolling Stones had one of the most elaborate stage setups in the world for their performance at Super Bowl 40. That means all eyes will be on Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for Super Bowl 54 to see what type of extravagance will be unleashed on our eyeballs and eardrums.
