Looking to place a wager on tonight’s Eagles-Chargers game? Here are two player props to consider for MNF:
Jalen Hurts under 193.5 passing yards (-115)
This is about necessity. The Eagles are 2-4 when Hurts is pushed to throw for 200-plus yards, and their two wins were a comeback against the Rams, and when Hurts was able to find two long pass completions over the top in Minnesota. The Chargers aren’t likely to give up that kind of coverage bust, and we don’t expect the Eagles to need to go into throw mode.
Omarion Hampton under 11.5 rushing attempts (-125)
In his five games played this season, Omarion Hampton’s average yards per carry are 3.2, 3.0, 3.7, 10.7, and 3.7. That one game stands out, and it came against arguably the worst run defense in the NFL — the New York Giants.
Hampton’s expected to be activated off injured reserve after missing extended time with an ankle injury, but how much should we expect him to play? The answer might come in the production of Kimani Vidal during Hampton’s absence.
Vidal has four games of 95 or more rushing yards in seven of those games while Hampton was out. So, while the Chargers rookie is the future No. 1 tailback, for this week, there’s no guarantee he gets more carries.
