Super Bowl Halftime Show Prop Bets: Kendrick Lamar Song Predictions & Surprises

The Super Bowl 59 halftime show will feature Kendrick Lamar under the bright lights, returning after guest starring in LA during Super Bowl 56.

Kendrick has had quite a year in the spotlight, dating back to his feud over the summer with Drake. In the court of public opinion, Kendrick appears to have won the rap battle, further emphasized by his showing at the Grammy's last weekend.

The Compton, California native took home the Grammy for Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Not Like Us" his mega-viral diss track of Drake that debuted in May. It has been played all over the country in clubs and sporting venues since, and Kendrick will now get ready to play it at some point during the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Halftime Show Predictions

How Many Songs will Kendrick Lamar Perform? (Over 10.5 Songs -115)

The over/under for his setlist is 10.5 songs, with many favoring the Over. Kendrick has a strong and diverse catalog that he will look to showcase, especially adding in his new album that won several Grammy's over the weekend. No performer has gone under 10.5 songs since the Weeknd in the Covid-restricted Super Bowl of 2020. Lamar also has a collection of shorter songs that he can bounce in between during this extended Super Bowl halftime show, so time shouldn't be an issue here.

What Song Will Kendrick Lamar Perform First? (DNA +225)

His classic song from 2017, "Humble", is favored to be the first song played at +115, followed by "Not Like Us" +210 and "DNA" +225. DNA has been one of the biggest movers this week, rising up from +550 odds earlier in the week, and is a solid take here as he looks to pump up the crowd. While Humble is probably his most famous song and still a solid choice, it doesn't bring the same energy and could also get used at some other point in the show.

Not Like Us has received the most tickets and handle according to FanDuel Canada, but is a very public pick and also will probably fit better at a different spot in the performance. Meanwhile, the last song odds are led by the Grammy-winner for song and record of the year, "Not Like Us", at +550 odds. "Euphoria" follows behind at +800.

Who Will Join Kendrick Lamar on Stage? (Over 10.5 Songs -115)

As far as special guests, it has already been revealed that SZA will be joining him on-stage, and they'll likely perform one of their previous collabs like "All the Stars" from the Black Panther soundtrack. Outside of her, the big movement has been on his cousin Baby Keem to appear, moving to -135 odds after starting at +145 last week. They've made a few songs together, including the hit "Family Ties".

Will Kendrick we are a hoodie in his first song? (Yes -125)

This one is basically a pick'em, with Kendrick's outfit largely unknown leading up to the game. Past performers have changed outfits 2+ times in many cases, so there's a shot he comes out in a hoodie and changes into a suit or other attire later in the show. He often wears hoodies and other streetwear while performing, so this wouldn't be a bad bet for rap fans.

Will Drake release a song on Super Bowl Sunday? (No -550)

This one is pretty unlikely, but not impossible. Drake is a pretty petty guy, and after their very public beef over the summer, it's hard to say that he won't do something to tap into the major attention being paid to Kendrick tonight. Will he waste a song on the headlines? Probably not. But +350 is a somewhat tempting price for a diss track to get dropped.
