TEXANS @ RAVENS (1:00p)

EAGLES QB JALEN HURTS OVER 251.5 PASSING YARDS (-115)

While it was a rough week one, I've got 17 more weeks to get things back on track starting with Thursday Night Football. The Vikings defense allowed the second most passing yards in 2022 and let Baker Mayfield look like a competent quarterback in Week 1. Hurts threw for 333 yards against this Minnesota defense last year in Philadelphia.

 

EAGLES WR DEVONTA SMITH OVER 5.5 RECEPTIONS (+105)

I just spoke about how Jalen Hurts will go ham against this Vikings defense and those yards will have to go to someone. DeVonta had 7 catches in Week 1 and had 7 catches in his matchup against the Vikings last year. He's called the slim reaper for a reason, he slices up defenses around the NFL.

 

VIKINGS RB ALEXANDER MATTISON UNDER 12.5 RUSH ATTEMPTS (-110)

VIKINGS RB ALEXANDER MATTISON UNDER 50.5 RUSHING YARDS (-125)

Mattison did not look great in his debut as the lead dog in this backfield against the Buccaneers in Week 1. Just 34 yards on 11 carries against a pretty middling Tampa Bay defense. This week, he faces the deepest defensive front in the NFL. It's mountain after mountain in the heart of that defense. The Vikings will have to throw to keep up with this Eagles offense.
