As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for their fifth Super Bowl appearance in six seasons, another major storyline is capturing attention – Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift.
While Kelce looks to cement his NFL legacy, fans and oddsmakers alike are wondering if the future Hall of Famer might walk away with more than just another Lombardi Trophy on Sunday night.
On their podcast, Bill Simmons and Cousin Sal broke down the wildest Super Bowl prop bets, including a surprising wager on Swift announcing a pregnancy (listed at 16-1).
But what really caught Simmons’ attention was the 8-1 odds on Kelce proposing to Swift after the game.
“Can we talk about the proposal, ‘cuz why is that still lingering in such a real way,” Simmons asked. “Makes you almost think it’s going to happen after the game.
“If the NFL was scripted, the Chiefs would win and then he would propose. So 8-1 seems high.”
Simmons then took the theory one step further, suggesting that Kelce popping the question might actually be a better bet than wagering on the Chiefs outright.
Kelce would only propose if the Chiefs won, so that’s actually a better bet than the Chiefs’ moneyline, he noted.
The Chiefs’ moneyline is currently sitting at -120 (give or take) – meaning betting on Kelce’s proposal could be a much better value-play.
Needless to say, conspiracy theories about the NFL favoring the Chiefs have been circulating for weeks, despite denials from Commissioner Roger Goodell, Kelce himself, and Chiefs ownership.
Still, for those who believe the league is setting the stage for a Hollywood ending, the proposal speculation only adds fuel to the fire.
It’s something that’s been speculated about for months. But can you actually see it happening?
Imagine the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion, and then in midst of the celebration, Kelce gets down on one-knee and proposes to Swift in front of the biggest television audience in history…
While some people hope it happens, you know damn well it would make many fans want to vomit.
What are your thoughts on the chances of it actually happening???
