Eagles vs. Seahawks NFL Player Props for SNF
- Jalen Hurts Under 242.5 Passing Yards
- DK Metcalf o60.5 Receiving Yards
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba o40.5 Receiving Yards
Jalen Hurts u242.5 Passing Yards (-110), FanDuel
Seemingly every week, head coach Nick Sirianni communicates to the media that he needs to place more emphasis on running the football. Following back-to-back losses by at least 20 points, in which the Eagles had a combined total of 18 non-Jalen Hurts rush attempts, it is highly probable that Sirianni finally gets back to what works for this offense – the ground game. Since Week 8, the Seahawks rank 32nd in rush EPA/play and 30th in rush success rate. Hurts is likely at less than 100 percent health heading into Monday after not practicing at all this week. Philadelphia is likely to pound the rock early and often in this matchup as they look to get back in the win column.
DK Metcalf o60.5 Receiving Yards (-110), BetMGM
Last weekend, DK Metcalf had only 52 receiving yards against the 49ers, but he was third on the team in targets and still managed to haul in a touchdown. On Monday, Metcalf will get to face a Philadelphia pass defense that ranks 29th in EPA/play and 26th in success rate since their bye. The Eagles will also be without starting cornerback Darius Slay in addition to already being without starting safety Justin Evans. Metcalf might only need one or two catches to eclipse this market number tonight, making this a worthwhile look to conclude Week 15.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba o40.5 Receiving Yards (-110), Bet365
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had only 25 receiving yards last week against San Francisco, but he led all Seattle pass catchers with 11 targets on the afternoon. Tonight, he gets a much more favorable matchup against a Philadelphia defense that is down multiple starting members of their secondary unit, including Avonte Maddox, who is the team’s primary defender in the slot. Smith-Njigba is well-positioned for a strong showing on national television this evening.
