Best Jalen Hurts Prop Bets For Super Bowl 57 Eagles-Chiefs
Dan Kilbridge | 16 mins
Jalen Hurts may have finished second to Joe Burrow in the 2019 Heisman Trophy race. But the Eagles quarterback is looking to get the last laugh this season, with Burrow watching from home as Hurts takes on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.
It’s been a low-key start to the postseason for Hurts, who just took care of business in blowout wins over the Giants and 49ers. It was essentially two weeks of the Eagles star quarterback playing game manager, but he’s the furthest thing from it.

Hurts finished with 3,701 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, along with 760 rushing yards and 13 additional scores on the ground. He’s the No. 1 concern for opposing defensive coordinators and still has plenty of help.
The Eagles are holding strong as -1.5 favorites on NFL betting sites for Super Bowl Sunday, but the individual player props for Hurts and others are endless.
Jalen Hurts Super Bowl 57 Best Prop Bets To Back
We have examined the full NFL odds board available and pulled specific props to back on Hurts in Super Bowl 57 from the top betting sites and betting apps.
Over 31.5 Pass Attempts
Odds: -105 at DraftKings ➜
Hurts had a pretty quiet workload in the Divisional and NFC Championship wins over New York and San Francisco. He completed 16 of 24 attempts against the Giants and 15 of 25 attempts against the 49ers as the Eagles embraced a ground-and-pound approach. Philadelphia ran it exactly 44 times in both games and the Eagles would love to build an early lead and do the same in the Super Bowl. That’s easier said than done.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs won’t go down quietly. Hurts attempted at least 31 passes in each of the last four regular season games and that’s more in-line with what we’re expecting Sunday night.

Over 0.5 Interceptions Thrown
Odds: +115 at BetMGM ➜
Hurts was among the best in the league at protecting the rock all season, with just six interceptions over 17 games. He kept a clean card in the first two playoff wins, but he didn’t have to force anything in either matchup. There was no sense of urgency. Things should be moving a bit faster in Glendale for a matchup that will require the hero moments.
We expect Hurts’ attempts to increase big time and the Chiefs’ secondary can definitely pounce on any mistake – Kansas City’s secondary has six interceptions over the last five games, including two against Burrow in the AFC Championship. We’re high on Hurts’ outlook in this game, but we also like the odds on sports betting apps at +115 for an interception.
Anytime Touchdown
Odds: +112 at Caesars Sportsbook ➜
Hurts is as dangerous as it gets in the open field, and he’s been finding the end zone with regularity. Hurts has five rushing touchdowns over his last four games and he’s scored at least once on the ground in seven of the last nine games. The Chiefs have also been vulnerable in this department lately – Burrow, Texans quarterback Davis Mills and Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson all scored rushing touchdowns against Kansas City over the last two months.
The Chiefs’ secondary is strong in coverage and we wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Hurts take off for a rushing score at some point.
MVP Winner
Odds: +125 at Caesars Sportsbook ➜
If the Eagles do get it done and cash on the moneyline at -125, we’ll probably see Hurts taking home MVP honors. The award has gone to the quarterback of the winning team in nine of the last 13 Super Bowls, with receiver Cooper Kupp bucking the trend for the Rams in 2022. It made sense considering quarterback Matt Stafford had two interceptions and Kupp had two touchdowns, but it takes something like that for voters to look past the QB.
We think Hurts’ individual performance will make or break the Eagles, which makes this a sensible bet at online sportsbooks at +125 odds.
