Travis Kelce prop bets for Chiefs vs. Broncos: Will Taylor Swift inspire another big game?

Travis Kelce has been on an absolute tear over the past few games. After missing the first game of the season with a minor injury and not looking like himself in Week 2, Kelce has been back to form ever since. 

Kelce has a fun-loving, carefree attitude and is all business on the football field. Any extra motivation is scary for any defender trying to guard the Chiefs tight end. With his new relationship with pop star Taylor Swift dominating the headlines, Kelce has elevated his play when Swift has attended games, making it seem like she gives him that little extra motivation. 

Maybe something for bettors to keep in mind as they handicap Travis Kelce player props for Sunday's NFL Week 8 Chiefs vs. Broncos game?

In the four games the Swift has attended this season, Travis Kelce is averaging 108 yards receiving per game. In games without Swift in attendance, Kelce only averages 46.5 yards per game.

Travis Kelce props in NFL Week 8

Here are the best odds on certain Kelce props on our favorite sports betting apps.

Travis Kelce receiving yards props at FanDuel Sportsbook

• 60+ receiving yards (-270)
• 70+ receiving yards (-178)

• 90+ receiving yards (+124)
• 100+ receiving yards (+172)
• 110+ receiving yards (+230)
• 125+ receiving yards (+370)
• 150+ receiving yards (+700)

It is worth trying to do some sleuthing to see whether Swift will be in attendance when you are trying to decide what Travis Kelce prop bets to make. We joke slightly, but sometimes the smallest thing, or in the case of Taylor Swift, the biggest things outside of football, can impact a player's performance on the field. 

Looking specifically at receiving yardage potential for Kelce against the Broncos this Sunday, the Pro Bowl tight end had 124 receiving yards on nine catches against Denver three weeks ago. On the year, regardless of who is in attendance, Kelce is averaging 87.5 yards receiving per game in his six games played.

Travis Kelce reception props at BetMGM Sportsbook

• 6.5 receptions over (-145) / under (+110)
• Longest reception 21.5 yards over (-125) / under (-105)

Look at Kelce's receptions per game this season: Patrick Mahomes' favorite target is averaging eight receptions per game. Kelce's only game with less than six receptions was in his first game of the season when he had just returned from injury and did not look 100%.

The other important note when looking at the potential number of receptions for Kelce is his number of targets. Kelce has gotten almost 10 targets per game this season, and over the last three games, he has seen 33 targets, catching 31 passes. 

Travis Kelce touchdown props at Caesars Sportsbook

• First touchdown scorer (+525)
• Anytime touchdown scorer (-106)
• 2+ touchdowns (+550)
• 3+ touchdowns (+1500)
• Last touchdown scorer (+550)

The only part of Kelce's game that has not been elite this season is his touchdown production. That is partly due to the Chiefs' overall red zone production as a team. Four touchdowns in six games is solid but not necessarily a great bet week to week. 

Kelce only had two multi-touchdown games last season, but he had three touchdown catches in one and four in the other. It is almost as if you want to wager on a multi-touchdown game for Kelce — you might consider going even bigger and wagering on three-plus touchdowns for the self-proclaimed "Big Yeti" if last season is any indication.

Odds that Taylor Swift attends Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos

Any odds on Taylor Swift's attendance for the Chiefs vs. Broncos game are either hypothetical or offered at unregulated sportsbooks. As we get to Sunday morning, reports will surely cover whether Swift will attend. Swifties, the Taylor Swift fan base, will cover that for football fans.

Coming from football fan's perspectives, the Swifties' coverage of their idol is impressive, and even insiders like Adam Schefter don't have the skill of Taylor Swift's fan base at getting inside scoop on the pop star.
