It’s been a rough few weeks for the Eagles, with an overtime loss and the departure of the “positivity rabbit” happening most recently. Amid this stretch, they’ve lost three straight, but they haven’t lost their grip on the NFC East division lead.
The Raiders, on the other hand, are completely spiraling. They’ve lost seven straight and are 2-11 overall. It’s a wrap on the season, with the organization looking toward the draft.
Philadelphia is an 11.5-point favorite and -675 on the moneyline, while Las Vegas is +490 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The game total is set at 38.5 points.
Here are my favorite player props for this Week 15 NFL game between the Eagles and Raiders.
Eagles vs. Raiders Best Prop Bets
Jalen Hurts + Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown parlay (+242)
It’s often difficult to determine which player to take for an anytime touchdown between Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. Both are essential members of the offense and get touchdown opportunities each week.
While this season hasn’t been the most impressive in terms of touchdowns, they’re still a threat to score on a week-to-week basis. Hurts has eight touchdowns, while Barkley has five. Normally I wouldn’t bet on both to score, but the Raiders are putrid against the run.
Las Vegas allows the third most rushing touchdowns and fifth most carries in the NFL. It’s perfect for the Eagles, who love to run the ball through Hurts and Barkley. Even in a down year, Philadelphia is running more often than passing. And when they reach the goal line, the tush push is activated.
The Eagles should dominate this matchup, winning by multiple scores. Hurts and Barkley should have a major say in the win.
Brock Bowers under 54.5 receiving yards (-111)
Between Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty, the Raiders have some quality young talent on offense. The problem is that neither are particularly having a good season — at least compared to expectations.
Bowers is still the top target, but the team hasn’t performed well this year. The offense ranks 22nd in passing touchdowns and 26th in passing yards. Now, the Raiders will face the Eagles, who are the best team at limiting tight end production.
Philadelphia has allowed 428 receiving yards to opposing tight ends — the lowest mark in the NFL this season. Bowers has the talent to negate this, but not with the Raiders’ offense looking this way. I’m expecting Bowers to fall under 50 yards for the sixth time this season.
