- Bet on Jaxson Dart to have over 38.5 rushing yards on Thursday Night Football because of his recent performances as a starter and lack of other offensive weapons.
- Saquon Barkley has not been up to his standard from last season so far this season, but bettors should bet on his over for rushing yards and for him to score a touchdown based on his history with the New York Giants.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The best bets for Thursday Night Football in the NFC East matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants are on Jaxson Dart to go over 38.5 rushing yards (-114 odds) and on Saquon Barkley to both go over 87.5 rushing yards (-114 odds) and to score a touchdown (-168 odds).
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia Eagles | -7.0 (-115) | -450 | O 40.5 (-115) |
| New York Giants | +7.0 (-105) | +335 | U 40.5 (-105) |
Bet on Jaxson Dart Rushing Yards
Jaxson Dart to rush for over 38.5 yards with -114 odds is the single best bet for the Eagles vs the Giants on Thursday.
The most notable reason that Dart’s rushing yards prop at legal NFL betting sites stands is that he has gone for 54 and 55 rushing yards back-to-back to start his career as a starter.
Those rushing yards are not all based on a few long runs, either. Brian Daboll and his staff have made a conscious effort to get Dart rushing the ball. Dart has rushed the ball at least seven times in both of his starts.
Another angle to consider is that Jaxson Dart may not have any other choice but to run the ball against the Eagles.
Star wide receiver Malik Nabers is out for the season, and Darius Slayton is expected to be out. That means the rookie quarterback will be without two of his three leading receivers against the defending Super Bowl Champions.
With few legitimate options and a history of running the rock, bet on Jaxson Dart to go over 38.5 rushing yards with -114 odds at Thursday Night Football betting sites.
Bet on Saquon Barkley to Score and His Rushing Yards Prop
Saquon Barkley has rushed for over 87.5 yards only once out of five games this season. Despite that, Barkley is a great bet to rush for more than 87.5 yards at legal sports betting sites.
The reason to bet on Saquon versus the Giants is simple. This game is personal for the former Giants star.
Barkley has made it known that he wanted to resign with the Giants if they offered him a reasonable contract when he reached free agency.
He used that as motivation last year in his only game against his old team, when he rushed for 176 yards and one touchdown.
Barkley is also releasing a documentary on Thursday. It details his life since he tore his ACL with the Giants and covers how difficult it was for him to leave the team.
Based on the Prime Video preview, it is unlikely that Saquon Barkley is done tormenting his former team.
