We're going to get this out of the way right up front: We here at Action Network are Swifties.
We love Taylor Swift. We love the new audience she has brought to the NFL. And we love that sportsbooks are coming up with creative ways to bet on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs with Swift in attendance for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
We also recognize that not everyone feels the same way — and we do strive for a big tent. So on that note, we wanted to make sure to address those of you who, for whatever reason, are looking to bet against Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in Sunday's Super Bowl.
The clearest way to fade Swift and Kelce is with a Travis Kelce player prop. The simplest of those is Kelce's receiving yardage total, which is currently set at over/under 71.5 at FanDuel.
Naturally, in the case that you're betting against love, you'd want to wager on Kelce's under here — but don't let your anger get the best of you right now. Instead, listen to one of our top betting experts, Stuckey, and his advice on how to bet on Kelce's under (if that is your Super Bowl pick of choice):
"If you like Travis Kelce under yards, wait. Those popular player props, especially for this Super Bowl, those lines aren't going down. If you want to bet the under, wait until gametime. There's only going to be more money coming in on the Kelce over. So make sure you're thinking about the timing of your bets."
To Stuckey's point, the line on Kelce receiving yards was 70.5 on Monday, meaning enough money has come in over the past 24 hours to push the over/under up another yard.
If you're feeling extra spiteful, which we suppose is your prerogative, you could even parlay Kelce under receiving yards, under receptions (currently 6.5) and the Chiefs to lose (by betting on the Niners moneyline) into a nice, tidy +297 same-game parlay. But you'd still want to wait, in order to make sure that receiving yardage line is as high as possible before locking in your vengeance bet.
If, however, you are looking to back Swift and Kelce on Sunday, you're in luck. Check back later this week as we break down all the ways to bet on this power couple in the biggest sporting event of the year.
For the dark-hearted among you, we guess you're welcome.
