As the NFL looks to start the regular season, a sports betting executive is adding his own favorites this year, but not for players.
Jay Kornegay, the vice president of Westgate SuperBook, says The Killers and Imagine Dragons are the favorites to perform at the Halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas at 12-1 and 14-1 respectively.
These are obvious picks for Kornegay, who chose two Las Vegas-based bands for halftime but also lists up-and-coming acts like Drake (18-1), Bad Bunny (20-1), Carrie Underwood (20-1), Morgan Wallen and Carrie Underwood at (25-1) and Post Malone, Luke Combs and Kane Brown at (30-1) as potential candidates. He also notes that he favors the field to his picks as “3-1”.
Obviously, the Westgate SuperBook exec is having fun with the picks, after he was asked to throw the list together. Kornegay even included such talents as Diana Ross, Carlos Santana, and Donnie Osmond. He goes on to stress that he’s having fun with this and these are not actual odds.
Super Bowl LVII concluded in 2023 with the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Philadelphia Eagles in an all-time classic, as well as Rihanna’s halftime performance. Both teams look to make it back in 2024.
Super Bowl LVIII is set to take place on February 11, 2024, and most betters favor an Arizona Cardinals vs. the Houston Texans game with Donnie Osmond as the halftime performer. Enjoy an exciting back-and-forth game. This is not a real prediction.
