Want to bet on Travis Kelce? Here are the best 2024 Super Bowl prop bets for Chiefs TE
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has completely turned around his poor end to the regular season since the postseason started. Now, he's the most popular player to bet on for the 2024 Super Bowl.
Over his last five games of the regular season, Kelce caught 23 passes for 252 yards with zero touchdowns. In the three playoff games he's played, he already has matched his receptions total, tallying more yards (262) and touchdowns (3) along the way. Perhaps as a result of his recent performance, Kelce is now the most bet-on player to win Super Bowl MVP, per BetMGM.
Here are the best player props to take for the eight-time Pro Bowl tight end, odds courtesy of BetMGM.

Best Travis Kelce player props
Travis Kelce anytime touchdown scorer (-115)
Minus odds on an anytime touchdown bet is never a great deal, but with three touchdown catches in his last two games, Kelce trails only kicker Harrison Butker as the Chiefs' leading scorer in these playoffs. In his three past Super Bowls, the tight end has scored a touchdown in two. Only Super Bowl 55, when Kansas City was held to zero touchdowns against the Buccaneers, didn't feature a Kelce score.
In addition, he's scored a touchdown in 10 out of 12 postseason games since the Chiefs' Super Bowl 54 victory over the 49ers. The only exceptions were that Super Bowl against the Bucs and this year's divisional round clash with the Dolphins.
Travis Kelce over 6.5 receptions (-150)
Wide receiver Rashee Rice may have begun to establish himself as a No. 1 receiver, but Kelce is still going to be the top target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. That's been true in the Chiefs' last two playoff games, and that likely won't change in the Super Bowl. The tight end always seems to find a way to get open downfield, and Mahomes always seems to find him. Kelce has caught more than six passes in 12 of 21 postseason games.
Travis Kelce longest reception over 20.5 yards (-120)
Kelce caught a 20+-yard reception in 10 of the 18 games he's played in this year, including the postseason. He didn't go a game without one for the entire month of January (three games). That streak should continue for a guy that always seems open and fights for extra yards on every play.
Travis Kelce over 70.5 receiving yards (-125)
With all of his struggles this season, Kelce failed to breach 70 receiving yards in 10 of 21 games this season (including playoffs). But sticking with Mahomes' top target amid his white-hot streak is the play. He has more than 70 yards in each postseason appearance this year and has only failed to hit that mark in five of 21 career postseason games.
Travis Kelce Super Bowl MVP (+1300)
He's Mahomes' top target and his superstar, world-famous girlfriend will (probably) be at the game. There's a reason Kelce is the most-bet player to win the award. If he does, he would become the first tight end to win Super Bowl MVP ever.
Wide receiver Cooper Kupp did it with eight catches, 92 yards and two touchdowns two years ago – though it did help his case that his quarterback threw two interceptions. Kelce could absolutely hit those numbers or better on Sunday to end his fairy-tale postseason.
