Saquon Barkley Over 76.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Barkley lit up the Packers for 109 rushing yards in Week 1, and the Pennsylvania kid who grew up an Eagles fan could be poised to go off in his first home game in a Philadelphia uniform.
The Falcons allowed 70 yards on 20 carries to the usually inefficient Najee Harris in the season opener, so the more dynamic Barkley should have no problem topping those numbers.
Barkley to score two-plus touchdowns at +300 is another intriguing prop bet, as is his anytime touchdown wager (-185) and rushing + receiving yards prop (99.5). But running the ball is Barkley’s forte, especially if the Eagles jump out to a big lead and run the ball to kill the clock.
Kirk Cousins Over 33.5 Pass Attempts (-110)
Cousins is still working his way back from an Achilles tendon injury, which may be why he had such a hard time against the Steelers’ aggressive defense in Week 1. He only threw the ball 26 times, so he wasn’t able to get in much of a rhythm.
In his 13 previous Monday night starts, however, Cousins is averaging 36 pass attempts, partly because he’s often played from behind. Despite his 6-5 career record against Philadelphia, Cousins is averaging 39 pass attempts in 11 games against them.
Cousins should be more comfortable in Atlanta’s offense this week, so look for him to air it out 35 to 40 times, especially if the Falcons go down early and have to abandon the run.
