Saquon Barkley has highest rushing yards over/under in DraftKings history ahead of NFC Championship

Saquon Barkley has highest rushing yards over/under in DraftKings history ahead of NFC Championship

Oddsmakers are expecting a mᴀssive game from Saquon Barkley on Sunday. 

DraftKings Sportsbook has set the Eagles running back’s rushing yards line at 130.5 against the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia. 

It’s the highest rushing total in DraftKings history, the sportsbook reported, foreshadowing a potential mᴀssive performance for Barkley as the Eagles look to secure a Super Bowl berth. 

Barkley is in the midst of a historic year, rushing for a league-leading 2,005 yards with 15 total touchdowns during the regular season. 

In two playoff games, Barkley has a whopping 324 yards with two scores. 

He’s been particularly magnificent in both games against Washington this season, a trend he’s hoping to continue at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. 

During a 26-18 win over the Commanders in Week 11, Barkley ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

In a Week 17 loss to Washington, which snapped a 10-game winning streak, Barkley again had two touchdowns, this time with 150 yards on the ground. 

He easily hit the over on his rushing yard props in both games. 

Betting on the NFL?

DraftKings bookies also strongly believe Barkley will get into the end zone on Sunday, pegging his anytime touchdown scorer line at -230, the lowest odds of any player during this weekend’s action. 

The Eagles are a 6-point favorite over the Commanders and -285 on the moneyline as of this writing. 

Philadelphia is a slight Super Bowl favorite at DraftKings (+180), just ahead of the Chiefs (+220), Bills (+260) and well ahead of the Commanders (+800).
