Falcons' Desmond Ridder on Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Romance: 'Big For The Bearcats!'
One of the most-followed NFL storylines of this season is the budding relationship between mega-pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Similarly to Kelce, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder played college football at the University of Cincinnati and the Bearcat bond has made the Falcons quarterback proud.

“Big for the Bearcats,” Ridder said in September to the Falcons team reporter, adding that he wishes the couple well, “Hopefully, it doesn’t end up in a song here in a couple of years.”
Swift has undoubtedly moved the needle in NFL viewership and fandom with many "Swifties" turning their attention to football, and now, the Super Bowl.
The reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs will look to defend their title against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. Swift will likely be there, although she does have a quick turnaround from her final Era's Tour show in Tokyo to get there.
Could this romance apex with Kelce down on one knee after the Super Bowl?
The odds are slim, with "no" being a heavy favorite at the moment. The "yes" option is currently listed at +1120, with the negatory at -3500. The current odds imply that there is an eight-percent chance of an on-field proposal with a 92-percent chance it won’t happen.
Then again. You never know with this love story.
Also, the odds are only available in Canada. No legal American sportsbook will host any Taylor Swift props for the Super Bowl. The Niners are the current favorites to win the Super Bowl, so the odds are stacked against Kelce's Chiefs in more ways than one.
Swift has supported Kelce by attending 12 Chiefs games this season, sitting in suites with family members of the team. The two exchanged a sweet embrace that went viral on the field after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
No doubt, an engagement would move the needle off the charts.
