Saquon Barkley rushing yards total prop bet for Sunday's game against the New York Giants came in at 84.5 Over/Under.
Barkley faces the team that drafted him second overall in the 2018. In 74 games with New York, Barkley rushed for 5,211 yards — the fourth most in Giants history — and had 47 touchdowns (35 rushing, 12 receiving). He was the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He signed with the Eagles as a free agent this year.
Barkley rushed 18 times for 47 yards in the Eagles’ Week 6 win over the Browns, adding two receptions for seven yards.
Prior to that game, Barkley rushed 10 times for 84 yards in the Eagles’ Week 4 loss to the Bucs, adding two receptions for 32 yards. He rushed 17 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ Week 3 win over the Saints, adding four receptions for nine yards.
Barkley says he has no hate towards his former team, though one would be foolish to think he won't have some added motivation on Sunday.
"Nah. I do know my mindset on that: I don't have to prove anything to them," Barkley told reporters this past week. "I'm thankful for the opportunity for this organization — [owner] Jeffrey [Lurie] to [general manager] Howie [Roseman], to everybody getting me here. So that's the people I gotta prove it to — and my teammates — and at the end of the day, the most important thing is winning, whether I go have 300 yards or if I have 10 yards.
This one was a flat -3 Eagles with little movement as of Saturday. We have a significant underlay as the Eagles should be -7 here.
