Passing props
Last week, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for just 152 yards — but completed over 80% of his passes — while Patrick Mahomes threw for 258 yards. When they met in the Super Bowl, Hurts finished with 221 passing yards and Mahomes threw for 257 yards.
For this week’s matchup, both sportsbooks have Hurts’ over/under set closer to what he totaled in February, while Mahomes’ total is set around 240 passing yards.

Rushing props
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 60 yards in last week’s opener against the Dallas Cowboys, which was lower than all but one of his games last season. Hurts, meanwhile, rushed for 62 yards of his own, well above his average. Both players had similar stat lines in their Super Bowl win over the Chiefs — rushing for 57 and 72 yards, respectively.
For this week, oddsmakers see a bit of a return to normalcy, with Barkley’s total creeping up closer to 100 yards, while Hurts is back below 50.
Receiving props
FanDuel didn’t release any receiving prop bets yet, but DraftKings had over/unders posted for Eagles receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Brown is coming off a week that saw the receiver finish with one reception for 8 yards, getting his first — and only — target in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Smith finished Week 1 with three receptions for 16 yards.

Touchdowns
In Week 1 for the Eagles, Hurts rushed for two scores while Barkley ran for one. For the Chiefs, both Mahomes (rushing) and Travis Kelce (receiving) scored touchdowns. Barkley and Hurts enter this game as the favorites to find the end zone once again.
And as a reminder, passing touchdowns don’t count here, just rushing and receiving.
