USA Today has already mapped out possible scenarios for her show, which include a slim chance of hubby Jay-Z joining wife Beyonce on stage for Crazy in Love. Or the even less likely chance of former Destiny's Child members coming out to sing Bootylicious.

Where: Superdome in New Orleans.

TV Schedule: Super Bowl coverage on CBS begins at 5 p.m. central time, and kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. central on CBS.

Betting Lines: San Francisco is favored by 3.5 points. The over/under on total points is 47.5.
