"This will be special"; "Should've been Lil Wayne": NFL world expresses mixed reaction as Kendrick Lamar enlists SZA for Super Bowl halftime show

With the Super Bowl coming around the corner in a few weeks, there is a lot of excitement in the air surrounding Kendrick Lamar's halftime show. While fans are wondering what he will do, it appears he will not be alone on the stage.

It was announced on Thursday that Kendrick Lamar will not be the only artist performing in the Super Bowl Halftime Show as SZA will also be joining him as a guest performer.

Many fans were excited about the announcement and displayed their reactions on social media:

"Dude there has to be a collab album on the way theyve been working together for just about everything now," one fan commented.

"Kendrick Lamar & SZA teaming up for Suer Bowl halftime - musical MAGIC guaranteed or greatest halftime show EVER?! (Or simpler) Kendrick & SZA at Super Bowl halftime - iconic ocmbo or BEST ever?!" another fan posted.

Meanwhile, some fans were seemingly not too happy that Kendrick Lamar got the nod for the Super Bowl Halftime Show over hometown kid Lil Wayne.

"Should have been Weezy F Baby," one fan commented.

"They gone tell Kendrick dnt rap not like us for the Super Bowl I hope he bring out lil Wayne then," a fan added.

It will be interesting to see if Lamar's latest viral hit "Not Like Us" gets played on a global stage like the Super Bowl.

What teams have the best odds to make the Super Bowl this season?

When looking at the betting odds for conference champion weekend, there seem to be familiar foes expected to be competing against one another for the Lombardi Trophy. For the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles are currently six-point favorites at home to defeat the Washington Commanders. In the AFC it is a bit closer as the Kansas City Chiefs are 1.5-point favorites at home over the Buffalo Bills.

A Kansas City Chiefs versus Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl would be a rematch from a few seasons ago. Of course, upsets can happen as both road teams won in the regular season against their respective opponents.
