The Kansas City Chiefs go on the road to Pittsburgh to play the 10-6 Steelers at 3:00 p.m. ET on Christmas. Although the Chiefs are 14-1 and in first place in the AFC, a No. 1 seed still needs to be clinched.
As usual, Patrick Mahomes No. 1 target this season has been TE Travis Kelce. He has 89 catches for 739 yards and two touchdowns. Unless he has over 200 yards in the final two games, Kelce will have under 1,000 yards for the second straight season. From 2016-2022, Kelce had 1,000 yards every year.
Below, I detail some Travis Kelce prop bets for tomorrow’s matchup against the Steelers.
Best Travis Kelce Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Travis Kelce over 4.5 receptions (-165)
Kelce has had more than 4.5 catches in four of the previous five games. He has hit this mark in nine of the 15 games he has played this year. Kelce had 93 catches in 2023 and is four receptions away from topping that. You can get Kelce at -165 on DraftKings Sportsbook to record five or more catches.
In the Chiefs’ last game against the Steelers in the 2021 Postseason, Kelce caught five passes for 108 yards and a touchdown. After a slow start to the season, Kelce has been more involved in the offense lately. He has been targetted eight or more times in four of the last five games.
Travis Kelce under 46.5 receiving yards (-110)
Although Kelce’s target share has increased, it hasn’t fully translated to more receiving yards. Kelce has had 45 or fewer yards in the last three contests. Kelce is -110 to have less than 46.5 yards on Christmas against the Steelers.
Kelce has had at least 47 yards five times during the previous 10 games. Consistency has been a problem for Kelce all season as the Chiefs have more options for Mahomes than in previous seasons. Even though he has the 10th most catches in the NFL, he isn’t the same playmaker at 35 years old that he once was.
