3. Derek Barnett averages one sack per game the rest of the way.

Those of you who are hoping for an explosion for Derek Barnett and are wondering if you’ll ever see it will get your wishes granted down 2019’s stretch. Now, much of that will be because of subpar competition, but here’s the prediction.

He won’t register a sack versus the Cowboys, but he’ll get at least one in every other game and average one or more sacks for the remainder of the season. Then, we’ll spend the offseason debating whether or not he’s arrived or if he benefited from Philly’s schedule getting easier down the stretch.
