Best Bets for Patrick Mahomes & Travis Kelce in Week 10 vs. Broncos
By Joe Summers
3. Travis Kelce 7+ Receptions (+108)
Is this some sort of joke? Travis Kelce doubled this receiving total last week and has at least seven in four of his last five games. Much has been said about his "decline" yet the weekly box score indicates he's still capable of taking over a game.
Kelce has at least nine targets in each of his last four matchups against the Broncos. He's Patrick Mahomes' safety blanket and DeAndre Hopkins' acquisition only gives the tight end more space. Denver's defense is stronger in the secondary than at linebacker, giving Kelce room to operate underneath while Hopkins and Xavier Worthy stretch the defense.
Kelce has 24 catches in his last two games. He's got a phenomenal chance to get to seven on Sunday, especially given his importance in a depleted offense.
4. Travis Kelce 70+ Receiving Yards (+140)
Just like the above, this line at these odds is simply unacceptable. Kelce had 100 receiving yards in Week 9, 90 in Week 8 and 70 in Week 6. If he's on a decline, his stats certainly don't suggest as much.
Kelce has historically struggled against the Broncos but their current defensive scheme under coordinator Vance Joseph sets the tight end up for success. The specific type of coverages Joseph prefers give Kelce space, which he'll utilize to maximum effectiveness.
These odds are still factoring in Kelce's slow start to the campaign. After this week, you'll see odds closer to -105 for this prop, making this our final chance to capitalize on the sportsbooks' delay of information.
The Chiefs are poised to win, which means Kelce is poised to have a huge game. It's as simple as that.
