Brandon Anderson predicts that the Philadelphia Eagles will adopt a run-heavy offensive strategy against the Washington Commanders. He believes that with Jalen Hurts recovering from injury and potentially limited in mobility, the Eagles will focus on their strong running game. Anderson notes that Washington's defense ranks in the bottom 10 against the run and recalls that Saquon Barkley rushed for over 100 yards in the first quarter against them in the last game. He expects the Eagles to capitalize on this weakness.

Evan Abrams advised against betting the over on Saquon Barkley's rushing attempts or yards. He noted that Barkley's rushing line is set at 22 attempts and 113.5 yards, which is a high number to reach, even though he has projected him higher than that. He considers these lines too high for a confident bet.

Mark Dankenbring stated that Saquon Barkley is an interesting MVP candidate, particularly if the Eagles overtake the Lions for the top seed. Barkley is the only new player on the offense, the team is averaging over two more points per game than last season, and he could potentially reach 2,000 rushing yards.

Pete Prisco highlights that Saquon Barkley has a real shot at breaking the rushing record, as four of the Giants' last six games are against teams with poor run defenses. He anticipates Barkley having many opportunities to accumulate rushing yards.
