Hamm on the other hand has been involved with the Chiefs in several of their campaigns. A midwestern through and through, Hamm has been a supporter of the Chiefs for a very long time. Before the game, Hamm predicted the Chiefs to win 35-31 in New Orleans.
Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show Lineup
As interesting as the game is for many, a lot of the fun lies in the halftime show. This year, the NFL has ensured that those clamoring for top-notch performances will also be satisfied. The 20-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show.
SZA will perform alongside Lamar, and several other musicians are expected to appear, surprised. Rumors are also swirling that Lamar will bring Taylor Swift out for the show, but that’s without any proof.
The Chiefs and the Eagles will face off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA and kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.
