Saquon Barkley's total rushing yards prop bet for Sunday's big game between the 49ers and Eagles came in at 79.5 over/under. Christian McCaffrey's total was listed at 59.5.
McCaffrey combined for 2,126 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground and through the air, making him the only NFL player this season with 2,000 or more yards and 15 or more touchdowns. His 102 receptions mark the first time a 49ers player eclipsed 100 in a season since wide receiver Terrell Owens topped the century mark in 2002.
Barkley rushed 19 times for 68 yards in the Eagles’ Week 17 win over the Bills.
Key Matchups
San Francisco offense vs. Philadelphia defense. The 49ers have one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL but stalled in Saturday’s 13-3 home loss to Seattle. San Francisco could have secured the top seed in the NFC, but dropped to No. 6 with a lackluster performance that saw Purdy throw for just 127 yards and McCaffrey finish with a season-low 57 yards from scrimmage against a strong Seahawks defense. The 49ers will face another big test from a Philadelphia defensive unit that allowed just 14 passing touchdowns and held opponents to a 56.8 percent completion rate, both of which led the league.
Philadelphia defense vs. McCaffrey. The Eagles are stout in the middle of the defensive line with Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, and they and Philadelphia’s entire unit will be tested against McCaffrey. Davis led all interior defensive linemen during the regular season with 34 run stops while Carter batted six passes when he wasn’t stuffing the run. Overall, though, the Eagles ranked just 22nd in defending the run, allowing opponents to rush for 124.4 yards per game.
