The source expresses skepticism about Saquon Barkley's ability to produce long runs against the Rams, citing historical context and recent defensive performance. Two years ago, the Eagles beat the Rams twice (regular season and playoffs) with 599 rushing yards combined, and Barkley had runs of 62, 70, 72, and 78 yards. However, last year when Barkley played the Rams again, his longest run was 12 yards and the Eagles finished under 100 rushing yards. The Rams allowed only three running back runs over 25 yards all of last season. The source states: 'I don't think this bet's going to hit, Matt.' Instead of betting over 15.5 rushing yards, the source prefers a home-run swing: 30 yards at +450 or 50 yards at 10-to-1, betting that if Barkley breaks out, he goes deep.PositiveRoleOct 1, 2026
Sean Koerner notes that Saquon Barkley is excellent around the goal line for the Giants and is part of a two-man backfield with Najee Harris. In a run-heavy game plan (expected due to rain), Barkley will likely get the majority of goal-line work, though Harris could rotate in for short-yardage situations.NegativeInjurySep 22, 2026

The source projects the Giants will run the football frequently under new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and staff, stating 'They're probably going to run the football a lot' and 'They did already last year and they could get even better there,' suggesting increased carries and usage for the running back position.
