🏈 Hurts' Even-Keeled Demeanor Helps Lead Eagles

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts knows part of success is never getting too high or too low. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Jalen Hurts has been through tough times and that has taught him to never get too high or too low … The Giants need Daniel Jones and the receiving group to lead the team to the playoffs, but are they up to the task? … and more! Emotion is coursing through the city of Philadelphia's sporting heart right now, for there is no other way to be. Not when an Eagles season that doubles as a dream continues to unfurl, seemingly bringing fresh delights on a weekly basis. Not when some moderate summer optimism has transformed into a swashbuckling juggernaut of a campaign that sits at 11-1, with a bunch of big-time performances stashed away and a run toward the Super Bowl firmly in view. Because, if not them, then who? Philly has waited for this and expected to be waiting a while longer, only to find happiness in a winning combination of an effervescent young coach, a stout and sturdy defense and a calm young quarterback that they didn't always believe in. They do now, and Jalen Hurts is the man of the town, a two-time winner of the National Football League Player of the Week award, probably a future recipient of one of those monstrous QB contracts with all the zeroes and a storybook scripter in overcoming adversity. So, with all that emotion in the City of Brotherly Love and perhaps the most heartstring-tugging game of the season coming up this weekend against the New York Giants, what sort of buzz must be rushing through Hurts' soul? "I am emotionless right now," he told reporters. Excuse me?

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Navy vs Army: Army (+1.5) to lose by less than 1.5 points, or win outright From FOX Sports Analyst: Geoff Schwartz The Under has hit in 41 of the last 50 games featuring at least one service academy, including 16 straight in the Army-Navy game. Both offenses generally attempt to run the ball to generate offense. Army has only 92 pass attempts this season, while Navy has 122. Both teams have completed only 43% of their handful of pass attempts per game. With this style of play, these squads kick field goals and punt more than they go for it on fourth down. The point total for this game is just 33.5, and that is insanely low. However, it would have hit in four of the last five games between these football teams. The Black Knights are better on offense. They are 17th in red zone touchdown rate and rarely get into third and long situations. Their offense tends to stay on track. Navy’s defense, though, has been surprisingly good against the run, but the Midshipmen rank 117th in allowing explosive rushing attempts. They also rank 71st in defensive points per drive and are susceptible to allowing deep pass completions. I can see Army hitting an explosive pass play in this game. The wager I’m eyeing for this game is Army +1.5. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
