Usher Super Bowl Halftime Odds: Yeah!
The Early 2000’s Hitmaker is Back
Our sportsbook has released Usher Super Bowl halftime odds, which includes his first song of the playlist.
The early 2000s superstar was recently announced as the Super Bowl halftime show headliner, and we look at the best novelty bets.
He’s the slow jam king, and we’re excited to see him in action.
Coming Out Strong
We expect Usher to come out swinging with his smash hit Yeah!
It was one of the biggest songs of this generation, and we don’t expect him to start with one of his slower songs.
Yeah, which featured Ludacris and Lil Jon, will get the crowd pumping, even if the Super Bowl doesn’t meet expectations.
It’s no surprise to see Yeah as the +225 favorite with Super Bowl novelty bets, and we’re confident with this pick.
If we had a second wager, it would be DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love. It’s another club banger, and the +400 odds with Usher Super Bowl halftime odds are worth snapping up.
“It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list. I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before,” Usher said.
How Many Songs?
There are plenty of halftime props, including how many songs will Usher play?
The current line is 9.5, which has been smashed into -155. We’re not surprised, as we think he will mash up many of his songs into a medley.
He has an extensive catalog of hits, and the sportsbook has 12 songs in the first song-played market, so it’s likely to go over.
The line could change to double figures, so bettors should lock in 9.5 and take the odds available before they shorten as well.
Shouting Out Vegas
How many times will Usher shout out Vegas? The current line is 2.5, and we’re backing the under.
Usher is more of a polished performer, and we can’t see him shouting out to the crowd very often. Also, the Las Vegas crowd should be pumping, and he shouldn’t feel the need to get them artificially cheering.
Under 9.5 pays +115, so it’s a value pick, and we expect him to start and finish the show without too many crowd interactions.
For the Gram
There is good value to be snapped up with Usher Super Bowl halftime odds, especially for the number of Instagram posts he will make during the day.
The line is 1.5, which is shorter than we expected. We can’t say we’re followers of his Instagram account, but he’s likely to post one pre-Super Bowl, have his PR team post one during the Super Bowl, and then a post-Super Bowl post.
Plenty of celebrities will be in Las Vegas, so he’ll have ample opportunity to keep his followers in the loop.
Hat or No Hat?
It might not be the most exciting novelty bet, but we’re backing Usher to wear a hat at the start of his Super Bowl performance.
Because we think he’ll start with Yeah, he should be wearing a hat, like he did in the music video when donning an Atlanta cap.
We’re hoping the lights come up, and he has his head down and cap on, just like in the video. It would be a great way to kick things off, so we’ll try to get in touch with production and make it happen.
Wearing a hat pays -150, so it’s a short-priced favorite, and worth including in Super Bowl novelty bets.
