What you are looking for is always here.
This lyric is not only one of the most famous lyrics from Taylor Swift’s 2008 seven-time platinum hit “You Belong With Me,” but also a prop for the 2024 Super Bowl MVP award. It also hints at the outcome.
You know, I know, and Taylor knows that if the Chiefs beat the 49ers on Super Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the MVP trophy will go to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. .
Evidence of this inevitable event began to trickle in on September 24, 2023, when Swift watched Sunday afternoon’s Chiefs-Bears game from the Kelce family’s luxury suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Her romance with the Chiefs tight end was still just a rumor.
The next day, numbers were released showing that the game was watched by 63% more women 18-49 than last week’s game in the same time slot, and that sales of Kelce’s No. 87 jersey soared 400%.
The next week, the “trailer” train was at full speed as Swift took Brittany Mahomes to a girls’ night out in Manhattan, then Patrick, Travis, and the Chiefs struggled against a Jets team that played an amazing game.
The rumors were soon confirmed, with their post-game date documented, jewelry gifts revealed, and even their first public kiss.
The caravan made stops in Lambeau, Orchard Park, and Baltimore.
Taylor has apparently started calling Ed Kelce “dad,” and a report released this week claims that her involvement with the NFL has generated approximately $330 million in brand value for the league and the team. ing.
And now here we are – and the good news for bettors is that sportsbooks don’t quite buy into any of the above.
Travis Kelce Super Bowl MVP odds
As of Tuesday morning, Kelce is still listed at 21/1 to win Super Bowl MVP at FanDuel, Bet365, and Superbook.
So even though you could have gotten 125/1 on the same bet before the playoffs started and 50/1 just before last week’s championship game, 20/1 is more likely to happen. Still a very good profit for those who have enough. .
Let’s make a case for why Kelce is the perfect Super Bowl MVP candidate.
First, the Chiefs have to win the game. The only player to win MVP from a losing team was Cowboys LB Chuck Howley in Super Bowl V. The Chiefs are the small underdogs in this game, and that could change before kickoff when the $1 million stakes start flying in.
If the Chiefs win, Kelce will have to beat his teammate, two-time MVP Mahomes, who is the +120 favorite. This is not easy, but it is not unprecedented either. Tom Brady has won this award five times, but his receivers Dion Branch and Julian Edelman have won it twice and amassed enough stats to earn the hardware. .
Kelce certainly has the ability to catch 10 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns, especially if Mahomes is in the mood he had in Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl.
No tight end has ever won this award, but Kelce’s hands don’t know that.
The selection process would appear to be smiling down on Candidate Kelce.
A group of 16 sportswriters and broadcasters accounted for 80 percent of the tally, with the remaining 20 percent coming from a nationwide fan vote.
If Kelce puts up a strong fight and more media members participate in the coverage over the past few months, Swifties across the country should put Taylor’s boyfriend at the top of their votes.
