The last time Justin Timberlake performed in a Super Bowl halftime show, he made headlines for all of the wrong reasons as part of Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” in 2004.

Timberlake will look to put on a family-friendly show without any controversy this time around when he returns to the stage to perform this year’s halftime show.
There are prop bets on every facet of this show available for wagering including whether or not the broadcast will bring up that ill-fated halftime show from 14 years ago. The line for how many times “wardrobe malfunction” will be mentioned during the broadcast is set at 1.5, with the UNDER going off as a -200 favorite and the OVER paying +150 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Plenty of prop bets are also available on Justin Timberlake’s appearance in the big performance. Bettors can bet on whether or not the 10-time Grammy Award winner will be wearing a hat at the start of the show (Yes at +110, No at -150), whether or not he will have a beard (Yes at -700, No at +450) and whether the microphone he starts the show with will be a headset (+190) or a handheld (-230).
Moving on to the actual performance, Filthy is a +165 favorite to be the first song of Timberlake’s halftime set. Other contenders include Can’t Stop The Feeling (+225), SexyBack (+400), Rock Your Body (+450), and True Colors (+600).
Timberlake is a slight favorite at -140 to cover a Prince song at some point during the halftime show and would pay +100 if he does not do so. Bettors can also bet on whether or not Britney Spears (Yes +400, No -600) or a former member of NSYNC (Yes +200, No -300) will make a surprise appearance during the show.
After the dust has settled on the halftime show and Super Bowl LII, the winning coach may be in line for a Gatorade bath. If so, what color will the liquid poured on the coach be? Lime/Green/Yellow is the betting favorite at +225 over Orange (+250), Red (+275), Clear/Water (+375), Blue (+1000) and Purple (+1000). Bill Belichick has been spared a Gatorade bath in three of his five Super Bowl victories but received a blue one after Super Bowl XLIX and a clear one after Super Bowl XXXIX.
