Barkley Comes Out Hot In Week 1
Saquon Barkley Rushing Yard Total
- Over 97.5 -114
- Under 97.5 -114
This should be an easy lean on Saquon Barkley to go over his 97.5 yard rushing total. He ran for a career high 2,005 yards last season for an average of 125.3 yards per game. In doing so, he went over 97.5 rushing yards in 10 of 16 games last season.
Fast track to Week 1 of this season, he gets a mouthwatering matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, who allowed the fourth most rushing yards to opponents last season in 137.5 yards per game. Not to mention, the Cowboys leader on the defensive line, Micah Parsons, was just traded away to the Green Bay Packers.
