Jalen Hurts total passing yards for Friday night's game against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil was coming in at 238.5.
Hurts earned Pro Bowl honors for the 2023 season. He ultimately finished the season with career highs in passing and rushing touchdowns, but also set career highs in interceptions and fumbles lost.
Hurts recently told ESPN he was "told not to worry about a lot of things" with respect to pass protections in past seasons because of the presence of center Jason Kelce and that his eagerness to learn was "halted" as a result, but the Eagles quarterback said things are changing now that he has more control at the line of scrimmage.
"I think in the end when you look at this upcoming season and what you have seen in years past, it's just different autonomy in different places," Hurts told 94.1 WIP on Thursday. "We had a great player in Jason Kelce who took on a lot of responsibility, and as a result of that I was told not to worry about a lot of things. And so my eagerness to learn over the years kind of was halted because of who we had, but now times are different and I'm excited for that journey and this opportunity."
The Eagles were listed as a -2 favorite after opening at -1.5 playing in Brazil. We get a number of 0.53 using Sagarin. That gives us an overlay.
We've seen this one move to -2.5, even -3 at some books. Nearly all had brought the line back down to -2.
Our model gives Philadelphia a slight edge here.
