Two years ago in the Super Bowl, football fans were witnesses to a star-making performance from Jalen Hurts. The only thing missing was him hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
Back in February 2023, Hurts was 27-of-38 for 304 yards and a touchdown through the air, and he also had 15 carries for 70 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Hurts committed a costly second-quarter turnover, though, and the Eagles offense sputtered in the second half as the Chiefs came back and won.
Let’s preview what to expect this year and how to bet on Hurts.

Jalen Hurts Player Prop Picks
Hurts was not the quarterback we’d come to know in the Eagles’ first two playoff games due to a knee injury. He threw for a combined 259 yards and two touchdowns, and he was sacked nine times in the two wins.
Then he looked like his normal self against the Commanders, going 20-of-28 for 246 yards and a touchdown through the air while rushing for three more TDs. Hurts looked healthy and primed for a big game.
The passing numbers were not there this season for Hurts. He failed to throw for 3,000 yards in the 15 regular-season games he played, although he only threw five interceptions, the last of which came back in Week 9.
Sean Koerner’s expert projections are very close to the market’s evaluations.

So, we’re going with one of our expert picks on how to back something Hurts does very well: score touchdowns.

By Grant Neiffer
This should be simple: any time we get Jalen Hurts to score a TD at close to even money, we take it — and all of the numbers back it up.
Hurts has scored in 12 of 18 games this season and 11 of 18 games last season. He has been even better in the playoffs, scoring in five of his last seven games and three times back when these teams played in Super Bowl two years ago.
Hurts leads the league in QB red-zone touches by a massive margin, and this should be a close, high-scoring game.
I have Hurts at around a 60% chance of scoring.
Pick: Jalen Hurts Anytime TD Scorer (-115)
