The Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts have both hit a rut. Hurts and the Eagles were held without an offensive touchdown last week in Dallas in their second straight double-digit defeat against a top NFC opponent. 

The Birds have lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2021 and Hurts hasn’t helped despite NFL odds often being favorable.

However, they’ll have a chance to get back on track in Week 15 against a Seattle Seahawks team that has lost four straight and is a slight home underdog in the latest MNF odds

Jalen Hurts MNF prop pick

Anytime TD (+100)

If there’s one thing Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is known for, it’s the Tush Push or The Brotherly Shove. 

Whatever you want to call it, it’s helped Hurts score a dozen rushing touchdowns this season, leading all quarterbacks and putting him up there with the likes of Raheem Mostert and Christian McCaffrey overall. Hurts has found the end zone in nine of 13 games this year, including a four-game streak that was snapped last week in Dallas. 

The good news for Hurts, though, is he hasn’t gone two straight games without a rushing touchdown since Weeks 6 through 8 last season. Hurts has scored a rushing touchdown in 14 of his last 20 regular-season games dating back to Week 9 last year — 17 of his last 23 contests if you include the playoffs.

While the Seattle Seahawks haven’t allowed many quarterback rushing touchdowns this season, they also haven’t played Hurts — or even Josh Allen, for that matter. The Seahawks did keep Lamar Jackson out of the end zone, but they also allowed the Ravens quarterback to run for 60 of Baltimore’s 298 rushing yards in that meeting.

The Eagles need a good showing in Seattle, and Hurts knows this better than anybody.

"You don't win without some type of adversity," Hurts said recently. "That's just the name of it. We'd love to come out here and be perfect. But perfection is only an illusion."

The Birds are hoping to get back to their game against the Seahawks after fumbling three times last week.

"We've played a lot of high-profile games here before and executed well. I don't think it is the magnitude," Eagles center Jason Kelce said. "These are good teams, and you can't make mistakes against good teams. We've done far too much of that."

Back Hurts to score a rushing touchdown at a favorable +100 price compared to -145 and -150 at other books.

Prop: Jalen Hurts anytime TD (+100 at FanDuel)

Jalen Hurts anytime TD

A.J. Brown anytime TD

A.J. Brown 100+ receiving yards

Hurts is a great bet to score a rushing touchdown on Monday night, and he should be able to air it out as well. The Seahawks gave up 368 yards and two touchdowns to Brock Purdy in Week 14 just after allowing Dak Prescott to throw for 299 yards and three touchdowns.

Both the 49ers and Cowboys were able to get the ball into their top receiver’s hands in those matchups. Deebo Samuel had seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. CeeDee Lamb had a dozen catches for 116 yards and a score. Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown must be licking his chops at this matchup.

Brown has had seven 100-yard games through 13 contests this season and narrowly missed out on the century mark with 94 last week. He’s been targeted 13 times in each of the past two weeks with a total of 208 receiving yards. The Eagles were behind in both games and the numbers may be a bit inflated, but his six consecutive 100-yard games earlier this season were not.

The Eagles’ top receiver should be able to hit the 100-yard mark on Monday Night Football given how Seattle has been playing defensively.

We’re also going to take Brown to get a touchdown catch. The Seahawks have been susceptible to giving up big passing games and getting Brown back into a groove could jumpstart the Eagles offense.
