Our first taste of Saturday Football takes place in D.C. with the Commanders playing host to the Philadelphia Eagles who are looking to be the first NFC East champion to repeat as division winner since 2004. Let’s dive into my Same Game Parlay for Saturday, the first part of a doubleheader. Also be sure to check out our full Eagles vs Commanders predictions.
Saquon Barkley to record 80+ rushing yards (+104)
Chris Rodriguez to record 50+ rushing yards (+146)
Parlay odds: +407
Saquon Barkley to record 80+ rushing yards (+104)
Saquon Barkley is trending in the right direction at the right time. He’s coming off back-to-back games of 20+ rush attempts, while also finding the endzone. Much like the last two weeks, the game script should be well in Barkley’s favor. His rush attempt line is set up to 17.5 with vig on the over. On Monday Night Football versus the Chargers, we finally saw Barkley break a long rush for 50+ yards – Just the 2nd time this season. Last week, versus the woeful Raiders, he had eight rushes of 6+ yards, ultimately finishing with 78 yards through 3 quarters, as Tank Bigsby and the rest of the backups finished the game.
He was listed on the injury report earlier in the week with a stinger, but has no injury designation heading into Saturday. Expect another full workload for Barkley in a division-clinching game on the road.
Chris Rodriguez to record 50+ rushing yards (+146)
We’re going with two legs for our Eagles vs Commanders Same Game Parlay. Chris Rodriguez returns to the Commanders backfield after being sidelined with a groin injury last week. In his place, Jacory Croskey-Merritt ran for 96 yards on 18 carries – Slight concern that Merritt may eat into Rodriguez’s workload. Yet, I’m a firm believer that Rodriguez will be in the neighborhood of 12+ carries after a full week of practice. My confidence in the Eagles ability to put the Marcus Mariota-led Commanders in a pass-heavy game script is low; therefore, I am backing Rodriguez to have a solid game on the ground.
