Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles look to get their offense back on track and in the process maintain their hold on first place in the NFC East when they take the field Sunday afternoon in Minnesota against the Vikings.
The Offensive Player of the Year last season when he rushed for 2,005 yards is averaging just 54 yards per game through six games this season. Personnel does not seem to be the issue as basically this same group exerted their will on opponents weekly last season, but a lack of production by Barkley and the entire Eagles’ offense has league personnel pointing to everything else including play calling and execution.
Personnel is the issue with Minnesota’s offense, and it all has to do with availability. Word on the street is J.J. McCarthy (ankle) will be back on the field this weekend but neither he nor QB2 Carson Wentz (shoulder) are healthy. Add in the fact that at least three-fifths of the offensive line are hobbled, and you start to see why Minnesota’s offense has sputtered at times this season.
The Eagles are looking to bounce back from last Thursday’s beatdown at the hands of the Giants, 34-17, while the Vikings hope to build on their 21-17 victory last week in Cleveland.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports): Saquon Barkley Over 69.5 Rushing Yards (-111)
After four consecutive games going Under his rushing prop, I am buying into Saquon Barkley bouncing back in a big way against the Vikings. Quinshon Judkins went for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries against Minnesota, Kenneth Gainwell totaled 99 yards and two touchdowns on 19 attempts, and Bijan Robinson amassed 143 rushing yards on 22 carries. Minnesota has had its problems stopping the run this year and that should excite Barkley and Eagles fans this Sunday.
