Looking forward to the 2020 NFL season, it’s time to start breaking down how individual players will do statistically. Today we focus on Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz‘s projected passing numbers and how they match up against future odds at BetMGM sportsbook.
Carson Wentz’s stats history
Wentz made it through all 16 games last season for the first time since his rookie campaign of 2016, and he led the Eagles to the NFC East Division title. He ended up completing 63.9 percent of his passes for a career-high 4,039 yards with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also was sacked a career-high 37 times last season, and his 93.1 QB Rating was his lowest since 2016. On the ground, he rushed for 243 yards (3.9 yards per attempt) with one TD.

Carson Wentz’s projected stats and odds
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday, April 18 at 5:10 a.m. E.T.
Passing Yards: 3,899.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110
Passing Touchdowns: 26.5 / OVER: -120 / UNDER: +100
It’s risky to bet the over on Wentz, only because he has made it through all 16 games just twice in his four-year NFL career. The good news for Wentz is that he has a decent stable of pass catchers in WRs Desean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and TE Zach Ertz. After that, however, the receiving corps is a little questionable, so Wentz’s production is also connected to D-Jax, Jeffery and Ertz staying healthy. The Eagles figure to have a strong run game with RBs Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, too. If Philly’s offense is a little more balanced, it will hurt Wentz and his potential to go “Over” in passing yardage. Look at it this way, he has eclipsed the target yardage total just once in four NFL seasons. He also has managed to hit 27 or more touchdown passes just twice in his career, and he barely inched over the line last season. Bet the UNDER on both props.
