The Weekend also seems thrilled to perform in the Super Bowl. He said, “We’ve been really focusing on dialing in on the fans at home and making performances a cinematic experiences.” As always the organizers are going to look after the production of the halftime show. But the Weekend is also putting $7 million from his pocket to make this Super Bowl LV memorable.

Coca-Cola, who’s been airing commercials in Super Bowl LV since 2006 has reported they will invest in “right resources” other than Super Bowl. But the parent company is going with commercials for Mountain Dew and various snacks from Frito-Lay.
Whereas Budweiser is giving the money to the Ad Council instead of the game to support in raising awareness of the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines.
However the parent company of Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch InBev is planning to run their ads in Super Bowl. They are planning to use their brands like Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, and more.
What can we predict about the match: Chiefs vs Buccaneers?
Kansas’ star quarterback is at the peak of his career and he will be getting a lot of achievements in the future. We can expect to see the Buccaneers with an excellent offense on the match day. But they cannot be at ease even after a lead, as the Chiefs have been lagging behind the Buccaneers in past games, including last year’s Super Bowl but Chiefs still won the match from the Buccaneers.
Mahomes, the MVP of Cheifs is aiming to become the youngest quarterback with two titles in a row. He is not going to go easy on his opponents. Whereas the former New England Patriots’ star quarterback has joined Buccaneers and he will also give an equal fight to Mahmoes. It is truly the battle between the quarterbacks for the title of best.
It’s predicted that the match will end with a score of Chiefs 31 and Buccaneers 26. Chefis will top over the Buccaneers once again. Let’s wait and watch what interesting event will take place on Sunday, 7th February 2021.
