Predictions for Saquon Barkley in Week 7 game vs. his former Giants teammates

It has been an interesting first month for Saquon Barkley in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform. Saying that is a mouthful in and of itself a mouthful. Who would have thought? It's still hard to believe he's a Bird sometimes.

Born on February 9, 1997 in the Bronx, he attended Penn State from 2015-2017. He was drafted by the hated New York Giants with the second-overall selection in 2018. So, even though we're glad he's here, we still have to pinch ourselves sometimes.

We've spent a lot of time discussing his return to the state of Pennsylvania, but 'Saquads' is a native New Yorker, and he returns on Sunday. This time he's doing so as the enemy.

Expect a monster performance from Saquon Barkley in what's being dubbed a revenge game.

Giants star Dexter Lawrence has described this one as a 'war'. That's cool. Tell him to bring it on! Philly is a road favorite. MetLife has been a house of horrors for Jalen Hurts. We expect some rough spots again, but we also expect an Eagles victory.

Why? The answer is quite simple actually. We expect Mr. Barkley to ball out! Here's how we see his day unfolding.

Saquon Barkley breaks the Eagles' first-quarter scoring jinx.

Much has been made about the Philadelphia Eagles' first-quarter scoring jinx. It's been a long time. Let's just say conversations about this bring up Julio Jones.

That's right. Philly hasn't scored during the first quarter since Week 17 of the 2023-24 regular season on New Year's Eve. An expected early heavy dose of Saquon will most certainly break that jinx.

The Eagles' talented running back scores as a rusher and receiver.

Well, it wouldn't be a classic revenge game without a couple of highlight-reel moments. He's shined in so many clutch moments, and he'll do so again at MetLife Stadium.

Boston Scott was our beloved 'Giant Killer', but he's gone now. Who's down with passing the mantle to Number 26?

Saquon Barkley breaks two runs of 20 yards or more.

Nick Sirianni likes to put guys in positions to shine versus former teams. He doesn't call the offensive plays, but expect that there will be a conversation post-game about his input.

Saquon has been known to break a few plays as a Giant versus Philly. This time, he breaks a couple as a Bird.

Behind a performance highlighted by Saquon Barkley's 150 scrimmage yards, the Eagles beat the Giants by 14 points.

150 yards from scrimmage... Don't ask us where we got that number from, but that's our prediction. 150 scrimmage yards... We're thinking this one ends in a 34-20 Eagles win and a nice trip back home.

That's our theory. Deal with it if you're a hater. We're fine with that.
