Jalen Hurts Player Props, Odds Week 2: Eagles QB to Score Plenty Against Vikings on TNF
The Philadelphia Eagles will try to move to 2-0 and keep the Minnesota Vikings winless as we make our Jalen Hurts player prop predictions based on the best NFL odds for Thursday Night Football.
Jalen Hurts didn’t have a very good game in Week 1. In rainy conditions, he managed just 170 passing yards and 37 rushing yards, and he accounted for just one touchdown. It was a far cry from some of his more impressive performances last season.
The good news for Hurts is that Thursday night he takes on an average Vikings defense, which could mean he’s in line for a huge game, according to our Vikings vs. Eagles prediction.
Here are our best Jalen Hurts player prop predictions for the Vikings vs. Eagles Week 2 matchup, which accompany our Justin Jefferson player props and Vikings vs. Eagles player props (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Jalen Hurts Over 248.5 passing yards (-113 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐
For all the fantasy points that Hurts puts up, he doesn’t actually clear 250 yards all that often. In last year’s regular season, he only topped 250 yards five times, and two of those performances came in the first three weeks of the season.
However, Thursday is a perfect night for him to hit this number and then some. He threw for 333 yards last year against the Vikings in a 24-7 victory. The Vikings defense is no better this year than it was last year as shown by its Week 1 performance.
In addition, the Eagles have some key injuries which are going to help Hurts. With the Eagles’ defense weaker than usual, the Vikings should score more than anticipated which means Hurts will be throwing late into the game. And Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell is out. The Eagles may elect to make this a coming-out game for D’Andre Swift, but we believe that the lack of rushing attack will just lead to more yards for Hurts.

Jalen Hurts Over 50 rushing yards (+100 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐
In Week 1, Baker Mayfield netted eight carries in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' win over the Vikings. He only managed 11 yards, but Mayfield is not known as a running quarterback. Hurts will be able to take advantage of breakdowns in the Vikings’ defense and use his speed to pick up a lot of yards.
Terms and conditions apply.
In the season opener, Hurts ran nine times for 37 yards on a wet field. Thursday’s game should provide better conditions, which gives him the opportunity to use his explosiveness. Last season, he carried the ball 10 or more times in seven games. He cleared 50 yards in six of those seven, including an 11-carry, 57-yard performance against the Vikings.
The Vikings surrendered the 13th-most quarterback rushing yards in 2022. With Gainwell out, Hurts is the Eagles’ leading rusher now with Gainwell out.
Jalen Hurts Under 1.5 touchdown passes (+110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐
Even though the Eagles could score more than 30 points in this game, we’re still taking Hurts’ Under on passing touchdowns. First of all, the value is significantly better on the Under than the Over. But second, Hurts has the ability to steal his own touchdown passes with rushing scores.
Last season, Hurts only threw multiple touchdowns in nine games, including the playoffs. Meanwhile, he rushed for a touchdown in 12 games including the postseason.
The value for Hurts to be an anytime scorer isn’t there. We’d recommend taking him as the first touchdown scorer, or to score multiple touchdowns for better value. But if we just look at touchdown passes, the odds indicate that Hurts has a better chance of throwing one or fewer than two or more.
