Greg Ward Over 2.5 Receptions (-102)

One of the heroes from December 2019 is taking that same energy into December 2020.

Greg Ward has made December his month, as he is starting to come alive for the Philadelphia Eagles down the stretch. Since the switch to Hurts, Ward has been a touchdown machine, hauling in three receiving touchdowns since Hurts took over in the second half of the Packers game. He’s starting to be a go-to guy on critical downs and when the Eagles need a big play.

In two of the last three games, Ward has gone over the 2.5 reception mark for the bettors out there. Overall, he’s gone over 2.5 receptions in 10 out of 14 games. He’s also found himself making a quick connection with Hurts, as he was a former college quarterback and knows what goes through the mind of quarterbacks. They just seem to clique, as you see end zone celebrations the two have planned out.

Ward seems to come alive with the season on the line, and expect him to be involved throughout this rivalry game.
