Before betting any NFL props for Thursday Night Football in Week 2, you need to see the Eagles vs. Vikings NFL prop predictions powered by SportsLine AI.
Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each player prop. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each player's historical data then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponents defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a player is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Its under bets cashed at a 67% clip in Week 1, bringing a commanding $4,277 for $100 bettors.
For Vikings vs. Eagles on Thursday Night Football, the model has evaluated the NFL player prop odds and provided Eagles vs. Vikings prop picks for every available prop market. You can only see the AI player prop predictions for Philadelphia vs. Minnesota here.
Top NFL player prop bets for Eagles vs. Vikings
After analyzing Vikings vs. Eagles and examining the dozens of player prop markets, SportsLine AI says Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts falls well short of his over/under for total passing yards of 249.5. The runner-up for AP NFL MVP honors last season, Hurts earned a $255 million contract extension this offseason. His combination of down-the-field accuracy and athleticism make him one of the most difficult matchups in the NFL.
However, he's still not really a volume passer. Hurts attempted just under 31 passing attempts per game in 2022 and averaged only 246.7 yards per game. In Week 1, he went 22 of 33 for 170 yards and has thrown for fewer than 220 yards in four of his last five starts dating back to last season including the playoffs.
Now, he'll take on a Minnesota defense that only allowed 4.8 net adjusted yards per pass attempt in Week 1 and that held three of its last four regular-season opponents to under 200 yards passing. The model is predicting that Hurts finishes with just 185.9 yards on average and rates the Under as a five-star pick for Thursday's action after hitting on 67% of its Under plays in Week 1.
