One of the wackier Super Bowl betting options this year is the one that surrounds the halftime entertainer.

Proving that you can truly bet on anything related to the Super Bowl, Bodog Sportsbook oddsmakers allowed fans to place wagers on what song Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will choose to end their set.

The favorite is “Running Down a Dream”, which is also the headline used on Petty’s Super Bowl XLII blog page. That tune is at 7/5 while "Mary Jane’s Last Dance" and "Free Fallin’" are also among the selections.

Petty and his band are expected to play three songs during the extended halftime in Glendale, Ariz. While the Heartbreakers are churning out the best of their 30-year-old catalogue, Tom Brady will be in the locker room prepare for the second half of what could be the Patriots’ crowning achievement – a perfect season.

Right now, Super Bowl odds favor the Patriots by 11.5 against the point spread to beat the Giants. Eli Manning will aim for the upset and to keep the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the family.
