Eagles vs Seahawks MNF Prop Bets: Tyler, the Creator

Prop bet #1: Swift swoops in

After back-to-back demoralizing losses, the Philadelphia Eagles need to right the ship in this MNF clash, and that starts with getting more from the running game. Philadelphia will hope to have Jalen Hurts under center, flanked by D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell, to rally from two sluggish weeks.

Typically, I’d point to the Hurts anytime TD prop, but his availability remains in doubt due to an illness, so I’m turning to Swift instead. He’s a touchdown threat regardless of whether Hurts plays and, with five scores to his name so far this year, he’s capable of finding the end zone as a rusher or receiver. 

Philadelphia failed to score an offensive touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend but should find this a more favorable matchup. The Seattle Seahawks gave up 173 yards and two scores on the ground against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14.

That wasn’t a one-off, either. Seattle has allowed seven rushing touchdowns over its last four games.

All of the Swift props are worth a look, but I especially love the anytime TD odds. Among the Philadelphia running backs, he’s had the lion’s share of the red zone work this season and he’s well-placed to punch one in on MNF.

Prop bet #2: Lockett lights it up

Tyler Lockett was one of the Seahawks' few bright spots last weekend with six grabs for 89 yards against the 49ers, and his route-running should give the Eagles fits after some recent defensive missteps. Philadelphia allowed five different Dallas pass-catchers to finish with more than 35 receiving yards, and now star cornerback Darius Slay is sidelined after knee surgery.

Lockett is the kind of steady receiver who can thrive whether it’s Geno Smith or Drew Lock at the controls, and I’m grabbing the Over on his receiving yards prop of 48.5. The trends suggest a busy night for the veteran receiver. He’s gone past 50 receiving yards seven times already this season and he’s had some of his best games at home, including eight catches for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders last month.

Now he’s set to face an Eagles defense that’s coughing up 260 passing yards per game.

In what should feel like a playoff game at Lumen Field with such high stakes for the Seahawks, I trust Lockett to find holes in the visitors’ secondary and nail this Over.

Prop bet #3: No misfires for Myers

Even before Smith’s groin injury, Seattle had been blowing hot and cold for weeks. The Seahawks piled up 35 points against the Cowboys but have fallen short of 17 points in four of their last six outings.

I don’t see Seattle marching up and down the field for touchdowns in this MNF showdown. It feels much more like a game where Pete Carroll will look to take the points on offer, counting on Jason Myers to kick the Seahawks to victory.

Myers has banged through at least two field goals in seven of the Seahawks’ 13 games this year, and he had a record of 11-for-14 in November. 

While the hosts have enough firepower to move the ball against a slumping Philadelphia team, it would be no surprise if they have to settle for field goals on a few of those drives — and with the forecast calling for cloudy but dry conditions in Seattle at game time, I expect solid kicking from both Myers and Jake Elliott.

Lumen Field has been kind to Myers this year. In the team’s six home games, he’s made 17 of his 19 field goal attempts, and I’m wagering on him to deliver in the prime-time spotlight.
