NFL Picks for Week 3 at FanDuel: Predicted Stellar Performance for Running Backs Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs
In the upcoming Week 3 of the NFL season, several running backs are expected to make a significant impact, according to a computer model. Here's a breakdown of the predictions for some of the top contenders.
Jahmyr Gibbs, the rookie running back for the Philadelphia Eagles, had an impressive performance against the Chicago Bears last week, rushing for 94 yards at an average of 7.8 yards per carry. However, the model predicts a slightly lower output for Gibbs this Monday against Baltimore, with a projected 63 rushing yards.
On the other hand, Saquon Barkley, the star running back for the Eagles, is expected to bounce back after narrowly missing the 90-yard mark last week against Kansas City. The model's computer prediction is backing Barkley to go Over 89.5 rushing yards in this weekend's game. In fact, in the model's latest simulations for Week 3, Barkley is projected to finish with 104 rushing yards.
The model also predicts strong performances for other running backs. Travis Etienne of the Jacksonville Jaguars is expected to build on his Week 1 success, with 92 rushing yards projected this week. Bijan Robinson of the Indianapolis Colts, who had 143 rushing yards against Minnesota last week, is predicted to have 92 rushing yards this week as well.
Interestingly, a parlay at FanDuel Sportsbook combining the model's predictions for Gibbs, Barkley, and Robinson could result in a payout of +561, with a $100 bet standing to win $561. However, it's worth noting that no relevant information was found regarding the NFL running back teams parlay offered by FanDuel sportsbook for Week 3 or the odds for these three players.
Barkley averaged 125.3 rushing yards per game last season and led the NFL in rushing yards. Despite not surpassing 89.5 rushing yards in his first two games this season, the model's proven track record - having made over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception - suggests that this weekend could be a turning point for the star running back.
As the Eagles face the Rams in one of two meetings between unbeaten teams on Sunday, the stage is set for an exciting showdown in the rushing yards department. Keep an eye on these predictions as the week unfolds!
