Super Bowl 2023 props: Top Five Jalen Hurts player prop odds

Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown scorer (+113 or better)

Hurts is the lifeblood of the Philadelphia offense. He gets at least one crack at the end zone practically any time they get near the goal line, which is great for his prospects of scoring in the Super Bowl.

Hurts has also been running the ball extremely effectively as of late.

He has one rushing touchdown in each of his two playoff games this season and seven in his last six games—the Chiefs’ defense does not give up a ton of rushing TDs, but that is because their pass defense is so bad the other teams don’t bother running.

Jalen Hurts under 250.5 passing yards (-115 or better)

The Eagles are a team that is committed to the run through and through.

They had the third-most rushing attempts this season and the most of any playoff team, and are willing to give the ball to their quarterback, running backs, and even wide receivers.

There is no way that Hurts can go throw-for-throw with Patrick Mahomes, and previous teams have shown that the way to take down Kansas City is by running the ball and controlling the clock. Based on that, we don’t expect Hurts to have a huge passing day.

Jalen Hurts over 45.5 rushing yards (-125 or better)

However, we do believe that, based on the logic above, Hurts is in for a strong day on the ground.

The Chiefs are young and banged up in the secondary and could show more attention than they want to to that area of the field, giving the Eagles’ running game extra lanes to operate.

Hurts also has the benefit of sitting behind one of the best offensive lines in the league. If for some reason that line lets pass-rushers through, he can scramble and pick up even more yards, which is great for this prop.

Jalen Hurts under 1.5 passing touchdowns (-114 or better)

Hurts has only gone over 1.5 touchdown passes in two of seven career playoff games he has started across the NFL and college, and both overs were exactly two touchdowns.

We think it is far more likely that he runs for more than 1.5 touchdowns, which would also give much better value as a prop (+600 or better).

No team gave up more passing touchdowns than the Chiefs this year, but we already outlined why we think the Eagles will buck the trend and stick with what they know.

Jalen Hurts over 10.5 rushing attempts (-102 or better)

We are taking full advantage of our game breakdown by predicting Hurts to carry the ball at least 11 times. We just don’t see a way in which the Eagles win this game without Hurts being a dynamic running threat.

The Eagles will also give Hurts “cheap” carries on quarterback sneaks and dives in short-yardage situations which, although they might not be glamorous, will get this bet one step closer to cashing.
