We’ve reached the run-up to Super Bowl 57 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, which means we’ve reached the run-up to the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Because if you love halftimes, nothing beats the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
With that in mind, here are the top NFL betting odds for some fascinating Super Bowl 57 halftime prop bets, and our recommendation on which way to wager.
Super Bowl 57 Halftime Show Odds, Props
Grammy-winning singer Rihanna will headline this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, which includes fellow grammy-winner Babyface. In the words of people from my generation, the whole experience will be fresh. And in the words of people from younger generations, “Stop using the word ‘fresh.’ It’s sad and embarrassing.”
With that, here are the most interesting Super Bowl Halftime Show prop bets to target, based on MyBookie sportsbook.
Rihanna Does Not Wear a Necklace (+250)
The odds suggest a great payout if you win. But that’s the point. The markets suggest Rihanna probably will wear a necklace (-400 odds).
But you might recall Rihanna did not wear a necklace during her first Grammy award speech. And Sunday will be her first Super Bowl halftime appearance. So . . . is “no necklace” her debut look?
A$AP Rocky Not on Stage (-500)
Will Rihanna’s boyfriend and father of their seven-year-old, A$AP Rocky, be part of the Super Bowl halftime festivities? He recently gushed over Rihanna headlining the event. Maybe he’ll join her. But in the end, I think this is her opportunity to shine.
After all, if my wife got to sing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, there’s no freakin’ way she’d invite me up to share the limelight. Of course, if she’d married A$AP Rocky instead, perhaps she’d think differently . . .
Jay Z on Stage (-170)
Admittedly, this is an A$AP Rocky hedge. If Jay Z goes on stage, I’m betting the love of Rihanna’s life will join her, too. Yes, hedges even apply to Super Bowl halftime shows.
Rihanna First Shoe | Red (+200)
What does this wager mean? It’s not “shoes.” It’s “first shoe.” So this suggests we might not know both of her shoe colors in the beginning. And for people who love shoe colors, that seems like a rip-off.

But let’s roll with it. Black has the best odds at +200. Orange has the worst at +1200. Rihanna recently shared that she would like to purchase Liverpool Football Club. She’s also professed to being an Arsenal fan. Both team colors are red. On an international stage, I’m betting she sticks with her team color.
Rihanna Wears Sunglasses on Stage (+140)
This wager doesn’t require her to wear sunglasses throughout the performance, or even for a full song. At any time, will she don sunglasses, even if it’s for two seconds as she walks on stage, before dramatically snapping them off, tossing them to a roadie, and launching into “Diamonds”?
I’ve analyzed dozens of Super Bowl halftime scripts (no, honestly, I haven’t, but go with it), and have concluded that there’s a 73.4% chance that Rihanna’s eyes will be hiding behind shades at some point.
Rihanna Will Not Fall Down on Stage (-1000)
Why would anyone bet on Rihanna falling down, aside from the generous +550 odds? Not me. No way. I’ve been rooting for halftime performers to remain upright since Boyz II Men in Super Bowl XXXII.
