The NFL's favorite love story is becoming a love story for bettors, too. With Taylor Swift in attendance, Travis Kelce had first half that was better than the full game of some players. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught nine passes for 143 yards and a touchdown in just two quarters of play.
Kelce absolutely smashed his player props, cashing the over on his receptions prop (6.5) his yards prop (76.5) and his anytime touchdown prop (-125). Kelce did most of his damage in the second quarter with seven catches and 112 yards, including the score, in that frame.
Kelce was listed at +188 odds to gain at least 100 yards at FanDuel for those who truly believed in the Swift effect.
It's becoming harder to ignore it.
In the three Chiefs games that Swift has attended, Kelce has gone over his receptions prop twice (vs. Bears and Broncos) gone over his receiving yards prop once (vs. Broncos) and scored a touchdown (vs. Bears). Against the Jets, all of those props went under.
Other player on the Chiefs seem to be embracing getting Kelce involved more when Swift is at Chiefs games. Patrick Mahomes acknowledged in his postgame interview against the Bears that he was looking to get Kelce a score. With results like today, props bettors are hoping this love story continues on the field.
