What a time to be a sports fan in Philadelphia.
The baseball-crazed city just saw its beloved Phillies reach the World Series for the first time since 2009. Now the City of Brotherly Love has hopes that its 8-0 Eagles will pull off the NFL equivalent.
One of the main reasons the Eagles are the toast of football town is wide receiver A.J. Brown. The fourth-year Ole Miss product has had a bonkers first season for the Birds and has been flying especially high lately.
Here are the best props for MNF from DraftKings sportsbook, including what should be a mammoth night from Brown.

Top 3 prop picks for Eagles vs. Commanders on MNF
Eagles players have been kind to prop bettors and fantasy footballers alike this season, and we’ll keep riding the gravy train until it runs cold.
Jalen Hurts has been a dual-threat quarterback all year but has been doing most of his damage through the air as of late. A.J. Brown has been the beneficiary of many of Hurts’ dimes.
That trend should continue against a Washington Commanders secondary that makes a habit of getting torched.
1. A.J. Brown 2 or More Touchdowns (+650)
The Tennessee Titans transplant has lived up to his billing this year and picked up exactly where he left off in the Music City. Brown has piled up 718 receiving yards and leads the team in receptions and touchdowns with 43 and 6, respectively.
The 25-year-old has been en fuego lately. He has over 200 yards and four scores in his last two contests. He’ll face a Commanders team that ranks 18th against the pass (217.4 YPG). His hot streak will end at some point, but probably not against Washington.
2. Jalen Hurts Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-115)
Hurts has proved everyone wrong this year by showing that he can do it with his arm just as much as his legs.
Once dismissed as a one-trick-pony rushing quarterback, the third-year pivot has put on an air show since Week 1. Hurts is smack dab in the middle of the MVP conversation and has the numbers to back it up.
Through Week 9, he’s averaged 255.3 passing yards per game and thrown 12 TDs to two picks. He’s also rushed for six scores but hasn’t reached paydirt on the ground since Week 5.
This will be the second time Hurts has faced Washington this season. The last time he tossed three touchdowns with 340 yards passing. He’s thrown six TDs in his previous two games and should keep the production humming against an inferior squad.

3. First Touchdown Scorer – Dallas Goedert (+1000)
Dallas Goedert has been one of Hurts’ favorite pass catchers lately and has been peppered with targets over the last few weeks. The talented tight end has 14 receptions on 15 targets over the previous two games and is coming off his best performance of the year.
Last week he had 100 receiving yards and a score against Houston. You get the feeling that the touchdowns will keep coming down the stretch.
You have to think that the Eagles will score the first touchdown in this one. At +1000, there’s some decent value in taking a flyer on Goedert.
