Commanders-Eagles | Bills-Chiefs
Commanders at Eagles (-6, 47.5)
Saquon Barkley OVER 24.5 rushing attempts (-120)
Solak: While taking the over on Barkley's rushing attempts is a lot less fun than chasing an over on his line of 124.5 rushing yards -- one of the highest rushing prop lines we've ever seen -- I think this is the smarter play. The Washington Commanders' defense proved in Week 16 that it can stack the box and cause some issues for even the Philadelphia Eagles' mighty rushing game; once Kenny Pickett checked in at quarterback, Barkley had only 41 rushing yards on 22 carries after totaling 109 on his first seven.
