Sunday Night Football just got even better, as Taylor Swift is in attendance to root on Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs against the New York Jets.
Given that the Swift-Kelce relationship is the biggest story in sports at the moment (sorry, Colorado and Coach Prime), it comes as no surprise that sportsbooks were offering up props and bets tailored around the proposition of a potential Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce romantic collaboration.
This week, we brought you the ultimate Swiftie Guide to Betting on the NFL and Travis Kelce, complete with everything a relatively new bettor might need to feel comfortable about placing a few wagers on Sunday night and beyond. But we also thought it would be fun to highlight some of the bets being offered around the Traylor pairing, as well as Travis Kelce's player prop odds for the game.

10 Taylor Swift-Inspired Props You Can Actually Bet On This Week
Note: On FanDuel, you can find these first nine bets under "Kelce Specials" from the home screen. The last prop, on DraftKings, can be found at the top of the "NFL" section on DK.
1. FriENDZONE: Travis Kelce to NOT Score a TD (+130)
Last week, our predictive analytics experts estimated that Kelce is generally +102 to score a TD in any given game, or a 49.5% implied probability of Kelce scoring — and therefore a 50.5% chance of him not scoring. At that projection, this line could be solid value, as +130 implies a 43.48% chance of Kelce not scoring.
Of course, it's hard to account for the extra Swift motivation.
2. Top of the Charts: Travis Kelce to have the Most Receiving Yards in the Game (+175)
Kelce is second on the Chiefs in receiving yards per game this season at 47.2, behind Justin Watson's 52.7. The Jets' leading receiver, Garrett Wilson, is averaging 55.0 yards per game this season, with Allen Lazard a distant second for New York at 33.0.
3. Seeing Red: Chiefs to Win by 22+ (+300)
The Chiefs are 9.5-point favorites, so this one is certainly within the realm of possibility, especially given how nonexistent New York's offense has been so far this year. Aaron Rodgers, we miss you.
4. Running Away Together: Chiefs to have 150+ Total Rushing Yards (+420)
Kansas City has averaged 4.2 yards per carry this season, meaning they'd need 36 carries to eclipse 150 yards rushing. They've averaged 27 rushing attempts through three games. But against the Jets, in what should be a blowout? Maybe.
5. Opening Act: Travis Kelce First TD Scorer (+500)
6. Seemingly Ranch: Travis Kelce Last TD Scorer (+650)
You know what would be cooler than cashing either of these bets, Travis? Cashing them both.
We'll get back to that, sort of, with No. 8 on the list.
7. Plot Twist: Zach Wilson to have 300+ Passing Yards (+1300)
Never, ever happening. Ever. Especially with the Jets adding Trevor Seimian to the practice squad and what that seemingly means for Wilson's future.
… right?
8. Platinum Performance: Travis Kelce to Score 3+ TDs (+2600)
Kelce has accomplished this feat twice in 146 career games, or 1.37% of the time. This line is an implied probability of 3.7%, which would mean that Ms. Swift proved quite inspirational indeed.
9. Exes & 0s: NY Jets to Score 0 Total Points (+3400)
With all due respect to New York, this seems like a far better bet than No. 7, with a far bigger potential payout.
10. Love Story: Kelce and Eagles RB D'Andre Swift to Combine for 200+ Yards (+175, DraftKings)
A Swift on the team of the brother of Travis Kelce? It kind of feels like kismet, you know?
