Taylor Swift Super Bowl Props: Bets on Pop Star & Travis Kelce
As of Saturday afternoon, Taylor Swift is en route to Las Vegas. After performing a set of shows in Tokyo, the pop star is heading to Sin City to support boyfriend Travis Kelce in the Super Bowl.
So, what Taylor Swift props are available to make as Super Bowl bets? Well, probably a few more than you'd think — but they're only available north of the border.
FanDuel and BetMGM have betting markets on Swift for the Super Bowl, but they're only available in Ontario. Those crazy Canadians. Let's break down the four that stand out.
Odds as of Saturday night.
BetMGM: Chiefs win & Kelce proposal parlay (+2500)
FanDuel: Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift? (Yes +800 / No -1800)
Important note on the market at FanDuel in the fine print: "Proposal must be on the field after the game."
I definitely could see a proposal taking place, because hey, why not? There will never be a more "heat of the moment" place to propose to your girlfriend than after you win the Super Bowl.
With that said, it seems unlikely that the couple, which already seems to be interested in maintaining their privacy (as impossible as that seems), would want to draw more attention to it. I don't have a betting model on this to tell me whether there's value on No -1800, so I'd say this is a stayaway.
The bet here would be to parlay Chiefs ML + Travis Kelce Super Bowl MVP + yes on the proposal, but you cannot parlay this bet.
Pick: Pass
Super Bowl Props: Gatorade Color
FanDuel: Will the MVP mention Taylor Swift in his speech? (Yes +520 / No -900)
Again, the fine print is important: "Must mention Taylor/Swift/Taylor Swift and be broadcasted on Ontario’s local network."
I don't think a 49ers player who could win Super Bowl MVP would go out of his way to mention Swift, so let's focus on the Chiefs.
I definitely think there's a world where the Chiefs win and Patrick Mahomes is the MVP, and he mentions (whether tongue-in-cheek or not) having Swift on their side to help push the Chiefs over the top. If Kelce wins, it almost feels less likely that he would draw attention to her unless Jim Nantz pushes him in that direction.
Of all of the Taylor Swift props available, this is probably the one I'd be most likely to put something (a very small amount of money) on.
Lean: Will the MVP mention Taylor Swift in his speech? Yes +520
FanDuel: Will Andy Reid mention Taylor Swift in his Podium Interview/Speech? (Yes +520 / No -850)
Now, if anyone was going to give the star singer a shoutout, a cheeky Andy Reid might be the guy to do it.
Reid has shown his funny side over the past couple of years in press conferences and most notably in Mahomes' State Farm commercials. This would be Reid's third Super Bowl win, and he'd undoubtedly be in a jolly mood after the game.
Still, it feels more likely that a player would mention Swift than Reid, who might even speak to Nantz first before the Super Bowl MVP.
Pick: Pass
Travis Kelce Props
If you're looking for a bet on the game itself, here's how Cody Goggin is betting the future Hall of Fame tight end:
With most of Kelce’s production likely coming early, there are a couple of ways I would look to play this.
You could take the risk for a bigger payout with Kelce priced at +425 to be the first player to 20 or 40 receiving yards. However, I’m instead just looking at his first-half prop.
Kelce’s current first-half yardage total is listed at 32.5 yards. This is a mark that he has eclipsed in every game of the playoffs, and his streak actually dates back to Week 15 against New England.
He has actually had at least 34 yards in the first half of every Chiefs playoff game dating back to their last Super Bowl against the 49ers, which is 12 straight playoff games. I think that we once again see this legend get involved early and put up over 32.5 yards in the first half of the Super Bowl.
Pick: Travis Kelce Over 32.5 1H Receiving Yards (-114 via FanDuel)
