The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles welcome the Denver Broncos in Week 5.
The pregame narrative: The defending Super Bowl champs haven’t looked great by all accounts, but they have the chance to improve to 5-0 in the early goings of the season. Meanwhile, the Broncos are 2-2 and looking to keep pace with the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West.
Check out my Broncos vs. Eagles +310 same-game parlay predictions for Week 5, featuring Jalen Hurts and Bo Nix.
Broncos vs. Eagles SGP predictions
SGP: Over 38.5 points | Hurts over 39.5 rushing yards | Nix over 212.5 passing yards (+310)
Over 38.5 points (-220): Last week, both squads turned in a positive offensive performance. The Broncos had no resistance, winning 27-3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Philadelphia scored 31 points in the first three quarters before almost choking away the lead to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The weird part is, the Eagles had zero passing yards in the second half and only recorded 200 total yards in the contest.
But that’s been their thing this season. The offence has been limited moving the ball, but has been very efficient nonetheless.
- Third fewest yards per game (251.5)
- Seventh most points per game (27.0)
That probably is worrisome to most, but to me, that shows an elite offence being able to score in bunches even when things aren’t clicking.
There’s plenty of evidence stating better times are ahead in Philly.
Denver is top 10 in yards per game (354.5). The offence should be able to get into scoring position enough to also contribute healthily to the over on this alternative line.
NFL SGP picks
Hurts over 39.5 rushing yards (-114): One thing Denver does extremely well on defence is pressure the quarterback.
- 30.5% blitz rate
- Tied for the most QB hurries (21)
A quarterback hurry tracks any instance where a QB is forced to throw earlier than intended or is chased out of the pocket.
If that’s the case here, Hurts will once again be more willing as a runner than a passer.
He averages 10.3 rushing attempts per game, leading to 44.8 yards.
Hurts is 3-1 against this milestone and should be ravaiding pressure frequently against Denver’s frontline.
Nix over 212.5 passing yards (-114): If this game turns into a bit of a shootout like I expect it to, this line would be no problem for Nix.
He’s facing the slightest of sophomore slumps, averaging just 215.3 passing yards per game.
But he’s coming off his best performance of the season against the downtrodden Bengals.
- 29-for-42, 326 yards
- 7.8 yards per attempt (season high)
He did play a monstrous 81 offensive snaps, and the Bengals’ defence is very bad, but I still expect it to be a confidence booster for the entirety of Denver’s offence.
Baker Mayfield had to play from behind a lot last week and the uptick in passing led to 289 yards. The Broncos could be in a similar situation as 4-point underdogs on the road.
