Just in: “Travis Kelce Super Bowl Player Props: Betting Odds for Anytime Touchdown & More in Chiefs vs. 49ers”

Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce passed Jerry Rice in career playoff receptions two weeks ago, and now he’s got his sights set on winning his third Super Bowl in five years.

Why wouldn’t Kelce score a touchdown in the biggest game of the season? He scored 18 TDs in 17 postseason games with Patrick Mahomes under center and caught three scores in the last two weeks, which were also the best weeks of football he played in months.

Kelce scored in two of three Super Bowls he played in and should get plenty of looks near the goal line as the most trusted player on the team not named Mahomes. The 49ers also allowed an average of 29 points in two playoff games and will struggle to keep him out of the end zone.

Kelce leads the Chiefs in all postseason receiving categories, including targets and yards. He brought down 11 balls for 116 yards and a TD in the AFC Championship Game and figures to be in line for another hefty workload.

Kelce’s main competition in this market, offered by FanDuel, is Rashee Rice. Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle usually eat into one another’s target share and also play in a run-heavy offense that usually results in fewer passes and receptions.

Kelce isn’t the speediest player in the world, but he beat this line in all three playoff games this postseason, going for 22, 29 and 21 yards on his longest receptions. He also beat the line in two of his three Super Bowl appearances and should have a great chance to pick up a big gain if he’s going to be as active in the passing game as we believe he will be.

Kelce already shone against the best safety in the league, Kyle Hamilton, and now faces a Niners defense down its best safety in Talanoa Hufanga. San Fran also gave up numerous chunk plays against both the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions and is about to face the most lethal quarterback in the NFL.
