Monday Night Football should be a treat this week. The Eagles and Chargers are both 8-4 with playoffs likely in their futures.
Philadelphia is a 1.5-point favorite and -130 on the moneyline, while Los Angeles is +110 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 41.5 points.
Here are my top Jalen Hurts prop bets for the Eagles vs. Chargers matchup on Monday Night Football.
Best Jalen Hurts Prop Bets
It’s been a rocky year for the Eagles. Between public comments from players and overall underwhelming play, the team doesn’t look as strong as it did last year. Even so, the roster plays the same way it did last year. It’s a run-first offense thanks to the Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley tandem.
The duo is arguably the best QB-RB combo in the NFL when it comes to rushing prowess. Hurts has eight touchdowns, while Barkley has four. These aren’t elite numbers, but their pedigree boosts their ranking on this imaginary leaderboard.
Goal line rushes are particularly lethal for Philadelphia as the tush push remains one of the hardest plays to stop. Hurts is the beneficiary of this, thus making his anytime touchdown bet a great play each week.
Although Hurts didn’t score last week, he had two touchdowns the week prior. Hurts is averaging 7.0 carries per game, with many of these being goal line tush pushes.
