Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole Travis Kelce over/under thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started off pretty clueless, just kinda throwing darts at a board, you know?

First, I dug into Kelce’s stats. I mean, the guy’s a beast, right? Turns out, he’s the fastest tight end to reach some crazy number of games in NFL history. I found out he beat Tony Gonzalez’s record, which is a big deal. This dude Kelce, he’s in his 12th season and already broke a couple of Gonzalez’s Chiefs records, like pass receptions and receiving yards. It’s nuts!
Then I started looking at what some of these so-called “experts” were saying. Pro Football Focus, they gave Kelce a higher run-blocking grade than this other Chiefs tight end, Gray. Apparently, Kelce’s known for his blocking too, not just catching. They said five of the Chiefs’ ten rushing touchdowns this season had a Kelce block. That got me thinking, maybe he’s more than just a receiver.
I also stumbled upon this weird betting market about whether Kelce would propose to his girlfriend. It was wild! The odds were like, “No” was the favorite, and “Yes” was the underdog. I didn’t even know you could bet on that stuff! It’s a side show that doesn’t really help, but it tells you how big his name is.
And get this, I read that Kelce signed a new contract extension worth a whopping $34.25 million, with $17 million guaranteed for 2024. The guy’s getting paid!
Trying to figure out the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl was coming up, so I focused on that. I saw that Kelce was going up against Fred Warner and the 49ers defense. People were saying they’re tough on tight ends. I was trying to figure out if he’d have a big game or not.

I looked up all sorts of things, like “longest reception” bets and whether he’d score a touchdown. One site even listed a bunch of prop bets related to him. It was overwhelming, to be honest.
My crazy idea
I started putting together this whole spreadsheet, tracking his stats, the odds, everything. I even watched some of his old games to see how he played against tough defenses.
Here’s a funny thing. I saw a clip where Kelce wore the Texas Tech Raider Red mascot head on a podcast. He said it was “extremely hot” under there. Random, I know, but it made me laugh.
At the end of the day, after all this digging and analyzing, I realized that predicting Kelce’s performance is a tough game. He’s a legend, he’s got the skills, but there are so many factors. I ended up just making a few small bets based on my gut feeling. It was more for fun than anything else. I didn’t make millions or anything, but it was a fun experiment.
- Started by looking at Kelce’s overall stats.
- Checked out what experts were saying about his blocking.
- Got sidetracked by the proposal betting market.
- Read about his massive new contract.
- Focused on the Super Bowl matchup against the 49ers.
- Researched different prop bets.
- Built a spreadsheet to track everything.
- Watched old games for insights.
- Laughed at the mascot head clip.
- Finally made some small bets based on intuition.
So, that’s my Travis Kelce over/under adventure. It was a learning experience, for sure. I’m no expert, but I definitely know a lot more about him and the whole betting scene now. Maybe next time I’ll have a better strategy, or maybe I’ll just stick to watching the games for fun! It’s exciting, isn’t it?
