Elite RB in a Prime Spot
Barkley has been one of the best running backs in the league this season, and this week he faces the worst rushing defense in the NFL. The Panthers have allowed 1,652 rushing yards to opposing RBs this year while giving up 4.89 yards per carry, the fifth-worst mark in the league. This isn’t a matchup to shy away from, even with the line creeping up.

Potential for a Heavy Workload
Philadelphia is a 12.5-point favorite in this game, meaning the game script should favor a run-heavy approach. If Carolina can keep the game somewhat competitive, Barkley will likely see his usual high volume of touches, giving him ample opportunities to break big plays.
Defensive Weaknesses
Carolina has also allowed 13 rushing touchdowns this season, further highlighting their struggles against RBs. Just last week, they let Bucky Irving run for 152 yards and a touchdown. Barkley is more than capable of producing a similar performance.

My Opinion: Barkley is in an elite spot against a vulnerable defense. If this game stays remotely close, he should have no trouble clearing 105.5 rushing yards. Deposit Match on UNDERDOG
