Saquon Barkley has reached unprecedented heights this season. While enjoying the best season of his NFL career, he's reached 2,005 rushing yards, a franchise record. He is also nearing the all-season record. That one distinguishes a combined total of the regular and postseason.
Reaching the Conference Championship for the first time, the Eagles' MVP and Offensive Player of the Year finalist has also set a record in the sports betting world.
Saquon Barkley has set the record for the highest betting line for a rushing total on DraftKings Sportsbook.
In six seasons with the New York Giants, Barkley made the playoffs just once. However, this year is his Cinderella Story. He's already equaled that total with one season in Philadelphia.
Sunday he will reach new heights by playing for the NFC's crown and a Super Bowl berth. This week, he'll have a myriad of sports bettors behind him.
DraftKings Sportsbook announced this week they are setting the highest betting line for rushing total in the history of their platform. The line is set at 130.5 yards.
THE HIGHEST RUSHING TOTAL IN DK SB HISTORY 🚨

Saquon Barkley’s rushing line is set at 130.5 against the Commanders in the NFC Championship

Here's the kicker. Barkley has already eclipsed that number in both of Philly's games vs. Washington this season.
In Week 11, he notched 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns during a home game. He then scored two more touchdowns and finished with 150 rushing yards though most of those were gathered in the first half. .
The line is reasonable. Barkley has run for over 130.5 yards in eight of the 18 games he has played in this season.
While oddsmakers can't predict the future, this gives us an idea of what they expect. As Eagles fans, let's hope he hits on the OVER.
If that wasn't enough, the Eagles now have the best odds to make it to the Super Bowl, and Saquon Barkley has the best odds of anyone playing in the NFC Championship Game to score a touchdown (-230). Let's not jinx anything though. The Eagles have a worthy opponent visiting.
