Josh Allen 49.5 Rushing Yards — LOWER
There’s no question that Allen has been an offensive machine this season, and we don’t expect that to change on Sunday. However, the Ravens should have some success containing Allen on the ground. Baltimore allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2024, and Allen hasn’t gone higher than this mark since Week 15. Plus, in his last outing against the Ravens, he had just 21 rushing yards.
Saquon Barkley 113.5 Rushing Yards — HIGHER
It feels wrong to pick “higher” on a projection that is already so high, but Barkley is no ordinary player. He has surpassed this mark in four of his last five games, and he’ll likely do it again as he faces a Rams defense that surrendered the 12th-most rushing yards to opposing running backs during the regular season. Plus, we can’t forget what happened the last time Barkley faced Los Angeles. In that contest, he broke out for an absurd 255 rushing yards.
Kyren Williams 0.5 Rush + Rec TDs — LOWER
The Eagles have been exceptionally stingy against opposing running backs in 2024, and this week will be no exception. The Eagles allowed just five rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs during the regular season, which was the second-lowest mark in the NFL. They also didn’t surrender a single receiving touchdown to the position. Williams did find the end zone when he last faced the Eagles, but the fact that Philadelphia is allowing just one running back touchdown every 3.4 games can’t be ignored.
Justice Hill 22.5 Receiving Yards — HIGHER
We could be in for a shootout between the Bills and Ravens, and Hill should benefit. A few different factors make “higher” such an intriguing pick here. First, Zay Flowers (knee) is not expected to play Sunday, leaving a handful of vacated targets within Baltimore’s offense. Second, the Bills have been gashed through the air by running backs this season, allowing an NFL-high 750 receiving yards to the position during the regular season. Third, Hill is no stranger to feasting against Buffalo. He totaled a season-high 78 receiving yards when he faced the Bills earlier this year. Even if he goes for just one-third of that mark, “higher” will still pay out. This is a juicy projection that Underdog users should jump all over.
