Best Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa props for NFL Week 14: Grab an eye-brow raising Tua bet

Two former Alabama quarterbacks will attempt to earn important wins in terms of playoff positioning in NFL Week 14. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will try to stick close to the Lions at the top of the AFC while Tua Tagovailoa hopes to keep Miami mathematically alive in the AFC playoff race.

Both QBs will draw seemingly favorable matchups for team success against teams with 3-9 records. The 11-1 Eagles host the Carolina Panthers, who have been scrappier in recent weeks. Miami, at 5-7, will need to put the latest beating on the sad sack New York Jets, who are coming off yet another ugly loss, to Seattle last week.

We feature the best player props for both former Crimson Tide QBs and even add in two bonus bets on some familiar wide receiver names for Alabama football fans.

Jalen Hurts Over 208.5 Passing yards

Best odds: -115 at BetMGM Sportsbook

The Panthers have a run-funnel defense that gets eaten up by opposing running backs on a regular basis. Philadelphia’s offensive line also has the fourth-best pass blocking grade on Pro Football Focus for Week 14.

Sure, Saquon Barkley might rip off an 80-yard TD run on the Eagles’ first offensive play. But the Panthers are performing more respectably in recent weeks, as Dave Canales is leaning on his younger guys and elevating their confidence.

Carolina is not going to get blown out (take the Panthers to cover the 13-point spread) and will make Hurts respond with some needed passing production. A superb running game will set up Hurts to move the ball smoothly. He averages 235.2 passing yards in home games.

Tua Tagovailoa Under 1.5 Passing TDs

Best odds: -104 at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Jets are painful to watch, but they always come to play against the Dolphins and we might see a lower-scoring game here. New York has allowed an NFL-low nine TD passes and the secondary still gets the job done overall despite Sauce Gardner not performing up to expectations.

Tyreek Hill has not been playing up to his usual standards recently, and Jaylen Waddle is a consistent disappointment. The Jets have the secondary personnel to handle Hill and Waddle while the front seven focuses on trying to contain De’Von Achane.

Calvin Ridley Anytime TD Scorer: +180 at DraftKings Sportsbook

Tennessee faces Jacksonville, which has the worst pass defense in the NFL.

Jerry Jeudy Over 70.5 Receiving Yards: -105 at Fanatics

The Steelers allowed nearly 40 points last week and Jameis Winston will continue to gun the ball to his new No. 1 wide receiver. Jeudy won’t reach 200 yards again but the Over is a good play anyway.
