Usher is returning to the Super Bowl. And this time, the 45-year-old R&B/pop star is the halftime show's headlining performer.

The Super Bowl LVIII halftime show will star Usher, who previously made an appearance at Super Bowl XLV, when he joined The Black Eyed Peas on stage.

The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are facing off in Super Bowl LVIII, which is being held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. It's the first time the Super Bowl has taken place in Vegas.

While some people bet on the football aspect of the Super Bowl, others look for novelty props. Those include wagers on various aspects of the halftime show, which has become a spectacle just as large as the game.

Here's a look at some prop bets pertaining to Usher's halftime performance, courtesy of various sportsbooks.


First song performed (via BetMGM)

My Way -120 (bet $120 to win $100)

OMG +175 (bet $100 to win $175)

Yeah! +700

Love in This Club +700

DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love +1100

There's a good chance Usher will open his performance with "My Way," his 1997 hit. That's the song he plays to open many of his live shows.

There's an outside chance it's different for the Super Bowl. But Usher will likely save "Yeah!" and his other big hits for later in the performance.


Number of songs (via BetMGM)

Over 8.5 -200

Under 8.5 +140

Although Super Bowl halftime shows last only 13-15 minutes, the performers typically sprint through a medley of hits. Usher has more than eight popular songs, and he'll likely perform only snippets of some.

It seems highly likely at least nine songs are part of Usher's show.


Special guests (via FanDuel)

Alicia Keys -350

Ludacris -250

Lil Jon -105

will.i.am +220

Nicki Minaj +280

There's now a Super Bowl halftime show tradition of the headlining act bringing special guests onto the stage to join in on the performance. That's why Usher made his previous appearance at Super Bowl XLV.

You can bet on another star or two showing up in Las Vegas and helping Usher with a few songs. "Yeah!" features both Lil Jon and Ludacris, so it seems quite likely both will show up to perform the 2004 smash hit.

Usher should bring out Keys for "My Boo," their collaborative song from 2004.


Last song (via FanDuel)

Yeah! +100

Confessions Pt. II +390

DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love +490

Without You +490

OMG +750

What better way to close out the halftime show than with "Yeah!" The performance will end with Usher and all of his guests on stage, sending fans into the second half of the Super Bowl in emphatic fashion.

It's possible one of these other songs could be the closer. But it makes a lot more sense for "Yeah!" to be the grand finale of what should be an entertaining performance.
