I tend to look at prop bets that have a real chance of happening, and in the case of Rob Gronkowski all of these are serious long shots. Sure, it’d be fun to see Gronk win the Super Bowl MVP award, but a tight end has never won it. And, honestly, if you’re betting on a tight end to win the game’s MVP award, Travis Kelce is a better bet. So which prop bets for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end have at least a snowball’s chance?
Rob Gronkowski, Anytime touchdown scorer (+225)
Since the playoffs started, the Bucs have thrust Gronk into primarily a blocking role. He had just one target in the NFC Championship game. Cameron Brate has become their go-to option for a tight end to stretch the seam. However, Gronk did score seven touchdowns in the regular season. He’s a big target in the red zone, so there’s always a chance he could get a look from his QB.
Rob Gronkowski, To score and player’s team to win (+550)
The Bucs are underdogs, but just by three points. And Gronk’s a threat to score, even if precedent hasn’t been on his side in the playoffs so far.
