Jalen Hurts Over 37.5 Rushing Yards
All indications point to Jalen Hurts being back in the lineup for the opening round of the playoffs. His return adds a new dimension to the Eagles' offense, which has been lacking over the past few weeks.
Hurts' rushing ability is virtually unmatched. The former MVP runner-up has accumulated 630 rushing yards this season, dialing up his production over his last few appearances. Hurts has totaled 145 yards over his previous three outings, never falling below 41 yards. Further, he's eclipsed 39 rushing yards in all but one of his last eight appearances.
Lingering injury concerns will be quickly dissolved as Hurts gets back on the horse against Green Bay. Over 37.5 rushing yards is nothing more than a formality.

A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer +130
The anticipated return of Jalen Hurts boosts the Philadelphia Eagles' passing attack against the Green Bay Packers. With that, we're forecasting a strong showing from A.J. Brown in the Wild Card round.
While Brown has looked somewhat pedestrian in his finale, he's been on a torrid scoring streak. The three-time Pro Bowler has found paydirt in three straight and four of his last six. Moreover, he's Hurts's favorite target, amplifying his potential against the Packers.
Having Hurts back under center will undoubtedly help Brown maintain his scoring streak. At plus-money, he's our top pick in the anytime touchdown market.
Spread: Eagles -4.5 | Moneyline: Eagles -235 | Total: 45.5
Saquon Barkley Under 101.5 Rushing Yards
Arguably, no player meant more to the Eagles this season than Saquon Barkley. In his first season in Philadelphia, the former second-overall draft pick nearly captured the single-season rushing record. Still, limited playoff experience and the return of Hurts hampers his outlook against a top-rated Packers' rush defense.
Barkley has appeared in just two playoff games throughout his career, and he's accumulated only 118 rushing yards throughout those contests. Moreover, his rushing potential is impacted by Hurts. The Eagles' dual-threat quarterback is always a threat to run the ball, and Nick Sirianni isn't shy about his designed run plays for Hurts.
Green Bay has a proven track record of containing opposing running backs. Yards will be at a premium on Sunday, and Barkley faces an uphill battle to surpass 101.5.

Tucker Kraft Over 36.5 Receiving Yards
It's not reflected in his receiving prop, but Tucker Kraft has taken on a more prominent role on the Packers' offense in recent weeks. The tight end is poised to continue that upward trajectory against the Eagles.
Kraft has a modest 36.5 receiving yard total in the Wild Card round, a benchmark he could easily surpass. The second-year pro has at least 36 yards in five of his last six and has solid usage metrics supporting ongoing production. Kraft has been targeted 14 times over the previous three weeks, cementing his position as a top-receiving threat.
No Christian Watson means there will be even more targets up for grabs. Kraft will fill that void and eclipse his prop in Philadelphia.
Jordan Love Under 220.5 Passing Yards
While Tucker Kraft is primed for a strong showing, his quarterback's outlook is more guarded. Jordan Love is dealing with a hand/arm injury incurred in the Packers' regular-season finale. Worse, he's posted diminishing passing metrics over his recent sample and faces a vaunted Eagles defense.
Love hasn't thrown for more than 185 yards in any of his last three starts. Further, he's fallen below 220.5 passing yards in five of his past seven. His high mark over that stretch was a 274-yard effort, and Love is averaging a paltry 186.9.
Few teams have had success throwing the ball against the Eagles this season. That's not likely to change as the intensity gets ratcheted up in the postseason. Love seems destined to come up short of 220.5 passing yards.
