Eagles vs Panthers top prop bets to make for NFL Week 5 Game

Best Philadelphia Eagles bet for Week 5

Bet No. 1

• Jalen Hurts Total Passing Attempts (Over 31.5) -115

A quick glance at WynnBET tells us that the over/under on Jalen Hurts passing attempts has been set at 31.5, and if you’re looking to bet the over, there’s no reason not to like that number.

Saying that this can be a very impatient coaching staff from time to time is an understatement. Jalen Hurts completed passes at a 77-percent clip in Week 1 versus the Atlanta Falcons, and the world went bananas.

What did the Philadelphia Eagles do next? In a game versus the Dallas Cowboys, one in which everyone knew Philly would need to run the ball to win, the Birds forgot to run the ball to begin the game. Then, once they realized the passing game wasn’t working, they tried to mix a few running plays in, but if you blinked, you probably missed them.

Miles Sanders got two carries. 27 yards was the result. Kenneth Gainwell was given one carry.

Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen’s unwillingness to run the ball hasn’t been as egregious as that since then, but any sign of trouble (falling behind on the scoreboard or a running play that doesn’t work) seems to talk this coaching staff out of being patient almost immediately.

Hurts attempted 36 passes. 23 passes, 39 passes, and 48 passes during Philly’s first four games. Yep, you can best believe that he’ll attempt more than 31.5 passes in this one.
