Jalen Hurts has a 15-1 record in 2022-23. As part of their quest to reach the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles will face the San Francisco 49ers, who are on fire. Here are our top Jalen Hurts NFL player props for the NFC Championship Game based on the best NFL odds.

Jalen Hurts has been one of the NFL's most dynamic players in 2022-23. He threw for 3,701 yards, 22 touchdown passes, and six interceptions over 15 regular-season games while adding 760 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. Including the postseason, he's rushed for at least one touchdown in 10 outings.

He leads the NFL's second-best scoring offense. But how will Hurts do against the 49ers' top-scoring defense in the NFC Championship Game?

Hurts anytime touchdown (+125) ⭐⭐⭐

Figuring out which rushing prop to take for Hurts isn't easy. The 49ers boast the league's second-best rushing defense, and they haven't allowed a rusher to hit 70 yards in a game this season. Therefore, taking Hurts to go Over 47.5 yards seems like a bit of a stretch.

His rushing attempts are enticing at over 9.5. He's run the ball at least nine times in all seven of the Eagles’ one-possession wins in 2022-23. However, the odds are very steep across our top-rated sportsbooks, which makes the bet less valuable.

Therefore, the best bet is for Hurts to score a touchdown. The price is +125 at FanDuel, which makes it seem like oddsmakers are baiting bettors. But Hurts has scored in more than half of his games in 2022-23. The 49ers are allowing just 0.6 rushing touchdowns per contest, but the price here is still too appealing.

Hurts Under 301.5 passing + rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐

The 49ers' pass defense is solid too. They're allowing just 222.3 passing yards per game, which is quite good considering the team has been playing from ahead nearly the entire back half of the season.

Hurts has logged only five games with more than 250 passing yards. But what's made him so dangerous is his ability to put up rushing yards on top of being a passing threat. However, he won't get enough opportunities against San Francisco's defense, and this line is simply too high.

DraftKings is posting the highest combined total and the best odds for the Under.

Hurts Under 21.5 pass completions (-110) ⭐⭐⭐

The Niners are allowing 23.0 pass completions per game, which is tied for 23rd in the NFL. But playing from ahead so often skews that number. If the Eagles jump out to a lead, then all of these recent trends and season-long stats go out the window.

However, one stat worth noting is that Hurts has completed more than 21 passes five times in 2022-23. In two of those instances, he completed just 22 passes. And the Eagles notched a 16-plus-point victory in three of those four games.

If the Eagles do win, it would be surprising to see them blow the 49ers out, and Hurts generally runs more and throws less in close games. He's completed fewer than 20 passes seven times this season, and five of those contests were either one-possession wins or outright losses.

He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.
