Let’s dive right into player proposition markets for Philadelphia’s dual-threat quarterback!
Over 1.5 (-118) | Under 1.5 (-133)
Hurts finished 22nd among all quarterbacks in the regular season with 22 passing touchdowns. In Super Bowl LVII, he will encounter a Kansas City pass defense that has allowed a league-high 35 passing touchdowns to quarterbacks. Hurts has only thrown two touchdowns in the postseason, after averaging 1.47 touchdown passes per game in 15 regular-season contests. The over 1.5 touchdown passes market finds reduced juice, thanks to Hurts only throwing multiple scores in nine of his 17 games (52.9%), including playoffs. The production desired by bettors looking to back the over, should be deterred by the propensity of the dual-threat signal-caller to utilize his legs in the red zone.

Hurts finished among the league leaders by tossing only six interceptions in 15 regular-season games and has not thrown a pick in the playoffs.
