Now that we know who will be competing in Super Bowl LIX in the Big Easy, it’s worth flipping our attention forward to think about this year’s halftime show in New Orleans, which will be highlighted by 17-time Grammy winning rapper Kendrick Lamar.
The Compton native will headline the event alongside starlet SZA come Feb. 9, which got us at BetMissouri.com thinking about which songs the 37-year-old will trot out when he hits the stage inside the Superdome for Super Bowl LIX next month.
As for the game itself, oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook currently have the hometown Kansas City Chiefs as the favorite in Super Bowl LIX, with K.C. listed at -120 (to Philadelphia’s current +100 moneyline), with the two-time defending champs currently coming in as a 1.5-point favorite, spread wise.
Kendrick Lamar will perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, bringing out SZA and likely more top stars. BetMissouri.com broke from Missouri sports betting updates and developed exclusive odds projecting what Lamar’s first song will be.
