Welcome to Philly, Saquon.

The former New York Giants running back, playing in his first game with the Eagles last week against the Packers in Brazil, dazzled ...

to put it mildly.

Barkley scored three times rushing for TDs of 11 and 2 yards, while catching an 18-yard touchdown on his way to a 132-total-yard performance, 109 of which were on the ground.

Barkley carried 24 times in the Eagles win, for an average of 4.5 yards per attempt, including a long of 34 yards.

The Falcons in their season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers gave up 137 rushing yards, 70 of them were to Najee Harris on 20 carries.

Atlantas rush defense was in the middle of the pack last season, giving up nearly 120 yards per game.

Barkley should be able to reach the Over here on Monday night.

Hurts threw for 278 yards in Philadelphias win over Green Bay last week, along with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

It was the best Week 1 performance, in terms of passing yards, of Hurts career.

Last year, the Eagles QB averaged 226 yards per game through the air, including six games where he didnt reach the 200-yard plateau.

The Falcons pass defense was good last year, ranking eighth in passing yards allowed per game at 202.9.

In his only other start against Atlanta, which was in Week 1 of the 2021 season, Hurts threw for 264 yards.

Oh, he also tossed three touchdowns.

So if youre looking for a Hurts Over prop, consider Over.

1.5 touchdown passes at +110 or better.

Last Sundays season- opening loss to the Steelers was one of the worst performances of Cousins career.

The veteran quarterback, playing in his first game with Atlanta, threw for just 155 yards on 16 completions, along with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Only seven times in his 12-year career as a starter has Cousins ever thrown for less yards.

So dont expect him to make a habit out of it, especially with a career average of 262.4 passing yards per game.

Last season, Philadelphias pass defense was the second-worst in the league, giving up 252.7 yards per outing.

In last weeks win, the Eagles allowed 260 passing yards to Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love, including a 70-yarder to Jayden Reed.
