Jalen Hurts' odds will be a hot topic when the Philadelphia Eagles flock to Cali to take on the Los Angeles Rams.

With Hurts not using his legs as much as in previous years, I explain why taking the Over on his passing yards prop is the way to bet on the superstar quarterback.

My analysis
Saquon Barkley has been getting all the headlines for the Philadelphia Eagles. However, Jalen Hurts is quietly having a fantastic season. 

He’s only thrown 12 touchdown passes in his 10 games, but with the team 8-2, you can’t say it’s impacted their ability to win games. He’s got an average QB rating of 101.8 and has thrown just three interceptions. 

You’d be forgiven for thinking my best bet might involve Hurts adding to his 11 rushing touchdowns, but despite scoring nine times in the past five games, I expect Hurts to go Over 218.5 passing yards against the Rams. 

Firstly, we’ve seen Hurts average just above that, with 219.7 passing yards per game. He’s been better with his arm across the last month, throwing Over 218.5 passing yards in three of his last four games and only going Under that total in four of 10.

The Rams haven’t been great against the pass, and their defense has the 11th-worst record in terms of passing yards, giving up an average of 223.3 per game.

Hurts is playing at an impressive level right now and doing what needs to be done to get his team the W. The threat that the run game possesses does a great job of keeping defenses honest, which should allow Hurts the ability to get the passing game going.

Jalen Hurts Over 218.5 passing yards

Dallas Goedert Over 45.5 receiving yards

Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown

The Rams have given up 62.3 ypg to tight ends this season. Across his seven games, we’ve seen Dallas Goedert average 55.2 receiving ypg, and he’s coming into this on the back of a 61-yard outing against the Commanders.

Saquon Barkley has been a monster this season with 10 touchdowns in 10 games. He’s the star player on the Eagles’ offense and should be able to find the end zone against L.A.
