Philadelphia Eagles QB, Jalen Hurts have Eagles fans, Eagles haters, and oddsmakers alike all now paying close attention. The second-year starter had the game (particularly half) of his career, last night when he and the Eagles hosted Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings during a Monday Night Football doubleheader, which also saw Hurts' fellow MVP candidate, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills drub the Tennessee Titans, 41-7.
Meanwhile, Hurts tossed for 251 yards and 3 total touchdowns (1 passing, 2 rushing) in the first half en route to a 24-7 victory over the Vikings. Hurts and the Eagles took their preverbal foot off the gas in the second half and Hurts would finish with 333 yards through the air to pair with 57 rushing yards with 3 total touchdowns. In their opening day matchup, the Eagles Hurts threw for 254 yards and ran for 90 to go along with a rushing touchdown during the club's narrow 38-35 victory at Ford Field against the Detroit Lions.
Perhaps most importantly for Hurts, the Eagles are 2-0 and have an extremely favorable schedule moving forward. The Eagles will more than likely be betting favorites against their next number of opponents, which include, Washington, Jacksonville, Arizona, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Houston, Washington, and Indianapolis before a Sunday Night Football showdown when reigning back-to-back NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers come to town for a week 12 matchup.

The talk of week two is Philadelphia Eagles QB, Jalen Hurts. The Alabama product was among the biggest leaps for oddsmakers heading into week three as Hurts cut his odds directly in half from +1600 to his current price of +800, which is good from jumping from 8th to 3rd-best, only trailing Buffalo Bills QB, Josh Allen and former MVP, Kansas City Chiefs signal caller, Patrick Mahomes.
Hurts is on pace to absolutely destroy his 2021-22 numbers, as he threw for just 3,144 yards to go along with 16 passing touchdowns, last season. After two games, Hurts is on pace to throw for 4,896 yards and 17 touchdowns. Hurts remains an extremely dangerous threat with his legs, as he ran for 784 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns in 2021-22 and is on pace for 1,258 yards and 26 touchdowns. If Hurts somehow lives up to those stats, he would almost be guaranteed to win MVP as Lamar Jackson unanimously won the 2019-20 award by throwing for 3,127 yards while adding 1,207 yards on the ground with 43 total touchdowns.
