Super Bowl Props: Best Travis Kelce Prop Bets
- Travis Kelce OVER 70.5 Receiving Yards
- Travis Kelce OVER 6.5 Receptions
- Travis Kelce OVER 0.5 Touchdowns
Travis Kelce OVER 70.5 Receiving Yards (-110), bet365
Kelce struggled mightily to finish the regular season, but he has turned things around in a big way during these playoffs. After failing to record more than 44 receiving yards in any of his final 3 regular season games, Kelce has delivered at least 71 receiving yards in each of the Chiefs’ 3 playoff games. The 49ers finished the regular season ranked 4th in defensive DVOA against tight ends, but they have been more vulnerable of late, allowing 97 receiving yards to Sam LaPorta, 56 receiving yards to Isaiah Likely, and 102 receiving yards to Trey McBride since the middle of December. Kelce, looking healthy and rejuvenated of late, should be able to get the job done here at a relatively low market number.
Travis Kelce OVER 6.5 Receptions (-140), Caesars
During the second half of the regular season, the San Francisco defense allowed a number of spike weeks to opposing tight ends, including 11 receptions to TJ Hockenson, 10 receptions to Trey McBride, and 9 receptions to Sam LaPorta. In 3 playoff games this season, Kelce has totaled at least 7 receptions twice and has only 1 game with fewer than 10 targets. Kelce was a frequent target of Mahomes in last year’s Super Bowl against the Eagles, finishing 2nd on the team in targets. Against Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl 2 years prior, Kelce had 10 receptions on 15 targets. He figures to be heavily targeted once again on Sunday, making this a worthwhile risk.
Travis Kelce OVER 0.5 Touchdowns (-110), BetMGM
Since 2019, Kelce has 17 touchdowns in 15 postseason games, including 3 touchdowns in 3 games during these playoffs. At this point of the season, Mahomes is going to consistently look for players who he trusts, which is an admittedly short list after a tumultuous regular season, with his wide receivers making headlines for all of the wrong reasons. At near even money, this is a must-bet for a player who is averaging more than a touchdown per game across the last 5 postseasons.
