Monday Night Football takes us to SoFi as the Eagles and Chargers face off. The Chargers need to make up ground on the Broncos who lead the division but the Eagles, top of the NFC East stand in their way.
That home team’s hopes sit on the shoulders of Justin Herbert, who needs to be the difference maker here.
I’ve taken a long look at Justin Herbert odds at various sportsbooks to find the very best ways for you to get involved with the Chargers’ QB on Monday Night Football.
Justin Herbert prop pick
Justin Herbert best bet: Justin Herbert Under 214.5 passing yards (-110 at bet365)
When it comes to the numbers the Philadelphia Eagles are right in the middle of the pack against the pass, giving up an average of 218.3 yards through the air per game. Despite Justin Herbert’s credentials, we’re taking the Under here.
He’s exceeded that number in eight of 12 games this season but this feels like one which could see him go Under, especially given that two of those games under that mark have come in his past two outings.
Firstly, we have to consider the left hand in jury that has given him a questionable designation for the game. It won’t impact his throwing given that he’s right handed, but it will be on his mind even if it’s just minor pain.
Then we need to factor in just how bad the Eagles have been against the run this season. Only eight teams have given up more rushing yards per game than the Eagles and this is a team who seem to be getting constantly run on this season.
We know that Jim Harbaugh loves the ground game and we can expect him to focus on it here, especially with Omarion Hampton looking set to return alongside Kimani Vidal in the running back room.
With the ground game in full swing, they can just Herbert to keep the Eagles honest but they might not need to force him to win them the game.
Justin Herbert same-game parlay
Justin Herbert Under 214.5 passing yards
Justin Herbert Over 17.5 rushing yards
Justin Herbert Under 0.5 interceptions
Finish out Justin Herbert same-game parlay with a further two legs. We’re taking Herbert to have Over 17.5 rushing yards.
Yes, he won’t want to risk injuring his left hand further but he’s had 18 or more rushing yards in nine games this season, including five of his past six. The Eagles are giving up an average of 21.3 rushing yards per game too.
The last leg is Herbert to have Under 0.5 interceptions. Herbert has been a pick magnet this year with 10 INTs in 12 games but if he’s going to be throwing less, then it obviously lowers our chances.
It’s also worth remembering that the Eagles only have eight interceptions this season, which puts them firmly in the middle of the pack, and this really isn’t an elite unit.
