Will Zach Collaros get an invite?: Ontario bettors can wager on Super Bowl proposal for Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set for a classic matchup in Super Bowl LVIII, but there is only one question on the minds of CFL fans ahead of the big game: will a summer celebrity wedding interfere with Zach Collaros’ 2024 season?

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ star quarterback finds himself personally tied to the biggest storyline of the NFL season, which will climax when his close friend and college roommate, Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, takes to the field on Sunday, Feb. 11. That will be under the watchful gaze of his multi-platinum-selling pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is expected to catch a red-eye flight back from a Tokyo concert for the game.

The pair’s whirlwind romance has been a topic of public conversation since the summer, escalating from salacious rumour into becoming America’s latest ‘it couple.’ The 12-time Grammy Award winner has brought an entirely different demographic to NFL viewership and is expected to drive record-setting ratings for the Super Bowl with her cameo appearances on the broadcast.

Collaros already has experience with that, having been caught by television cameras sharing a suite with Swift and the rest of the Kelce family during Kansas City’s AFC Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. It remains to be seen whether the two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player will be in Las Vegas to cheer on his former University of Cincinnati teammate, but he could get an invite to an even bigger event if Kelce decides to take the next step in his relationship amidst all the confetti.

Sports bettors in Ontario can wager on whether Kelce will pop the question to Swift on the field after the game, one of many amusing props available for the marquee event on the gambling calendar.

Given the early stage of the relationship, the odds are skewed heavily to the ‘no’ side with a line of -2200 — implying a 95.7 percent chance that nobody will take a knee except the winning quarterback. In the unlikely event of a Super Bowl proposal, the market has a ‘yes’ response from Taylor set at +190, with the ‘no’ odds at -250.

Bets can also be placed on whether the eventual Super Bowl MVP mentions Swift in his acceptance speech, with a +600 return if it occurs. That is far more likely if Kelce were to win the award, where he currently has [metabet_core_dynamic_odds market=”fbp/nfl_mvp_super_bowl/558293″ query=”nfl/travis_kelce/player_979″ site_id=”3downnation”] odds and sits behind his quarterback Patrick Mahomes, as well as San Francisco QB Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey as the likeliest pick.

The 34-year-old continues to make his argument for being the greatest tight end in NFL history, breaking Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s all-time career playoff receptions record in an 11-catch, 116-yard performance in the AFC Championship. A four-time first-team All-Pro selection and nine-time Pro Bowler, Kelce has hauled in 907 passes for 11,328 yards and 74 touchdowns since his time with Collaros on the Bearcats.

With two Super Bowl rings already to his credit, the biggest trophy for everyone’s favourite jabroni could be landing Swift. If he does, you can safely expect CFL fans to be combing through the wedding photos for shots of their favourite quarterback, proving that they remain the only demographic more obsessive than Swifties.
