Quick answer: Jalen Hurts is the rushing TD machine. His weekly board: rushing TDs over 0.5 (-105 to +130), rushing yards over 28.5 to 42.5 (-110 to -125), passing yards over 220.5 to 250.5 (-110 to -125), passing TDs over 1.5 (-115 to -135), and total TDs over 2.5 (-130 to -160). The edge on Hurts lives in his rushing TD prop because the Eagles’ Tush Push play scheme creates near-automatic short-yardage TD opportunities. Public undervalues this prop weekly; it’s one of the most consistent +EV markets in NFL.
The Tush Push Effect on Hurts’ Props
The Eagles’ QB sneak (Tush Push) play converts short-yardage and goal-line situations into Hurts rushing TDs at one of the highest rates in NFL history. His career rushing TD rate of 1.0+ per game is structurally inflated by the scheme. The rushing TD over 0.5 prop is mathematically supported by base rate alone in any game. Sharp bettors target this prop weekly; public still underprices it.
Rushing Yards Pricing
Rushing yards over 28.5 to 42.5 hits ~58-65%. The Tush Push contributes minimally to yardage (1-2 yards per attempt) but the scrambles AND designed read-options inflate his volume. Eagles trailing produces higher rushing volume because Hurts becomes the rush priority.
Where the Sharp Edge Lives
Five angles. First: rushing TDs over 0.5 weekly (the structural Tush Push edge). Second: total TDs over 2.5 against weak red-zone defenses. Third: passing yards over in negative game script matchups. Fourth: rushing yards over against pressure defenses. Fifth: longest pass completion over against single-high safety teams (A.J. Brown deep ball).
Common Mistakes
Ignoring the Tush Push effect on rushing TD probability. Betting Hurts passing yards over without checking opposing pass-rush quality. Same-game parlay traps that compound correlation premium.
Worked Example
Week 6, Eagles vs Giants, projected 7-point Eagles favorite. Giants red-zone defense ranks 24th. Hurts rushing TD over 0.5 at -105. Model projects 65% probability. Implied at -105 ~51%. That’s 14 percentage points of edge.
