Taylor Swift-themed props
Shake it off: 49ers to score first, Chiefs to win (+350, DraftKings): This follows the game script of last year, where the 49ers went up 3-0 in the first quarter, but blew a fourth-quarter lead as the Chiefs won, 31-20.
Today was a FairyTale: Kelce to score a TD and Chiefs to win (+240, DraftKings): Kelce has scored a touchdown in eight of the last nine playoff games. If you have the Chiefs winning, this is a good bet.
Anti-Hero: Brock Purdy 250+ passing yards and 2+ passing touchdowns (+200, DraftKings). Purdy has hit this prop in six of his 16 regular season starts this season, and zero in his two playoff appearances this postseason.
Mine: Travis Kelce to record 87+ receiving yards (Yes +190, DraftKings). Kelce has hit this prop in just four regular season games and just one of Kansas City’s three playoff games.
Look What You Made Me Do: Chiefs trail in the fourth quarter and win the game (Yes +500, DraftKings). When these teams met in Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers led by 10 points in the fourth quarter and Kanas City won the game. Could history repeat itself?
