Best Bets: BUF-KC | WSH-PHI Player Props: Commanders | Eagles Chiefs | Bills | Travis Kelce ATD: Bills | Chiefs | Commanders | Eagles Matchup Pages: BUF-KC | WSH-PHI
Saquon Barkley Under 125.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Saquon Barkley has been the centerpiece of the Eagles’ postseason success, putting up an extraordinary 491 rushing yards in just three playoff games. While his numbers look unstoppable on the surface, they mask some inconsistencies that could impact his performance in the NFC Championship. Much of Barkley’s recent production has come from a handful of game-breaking runs rather than steady dominance.
For example, in last week’s matchup, Barkley delivered two massive runs of 78 yards and 62 yards, which accounted for 140 of his 205 rushing yards. Beyond those two plays, he averaged a mere 2.7 yards per carry on his remaining touches. This trend suggests that his total yardage heavily relies on hitting home runs, which might not be as easy against a disciplined Commanders defense. While Barkley is capable of another strong outing, expecting him to eclipse 125.5 rushing yards could be overly optimistic, especially in a game where defenses tighten up with a trip to the Super Bowl on

Terry McLaurin Over Alternate Game Total 63.5 (-113)
Terry McLaurin has flourished this season thanks to the emergence of Jayden Daniels as the Commanders’ quarterback. The two-time Pro Bowler not only recorded his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season, but he also set career highs in touchdowns and catch rate, solidifying his status as Washington’s top offensive weapon. That chemistry has carried into the postseason, where McLaurin has been a standout performer.
Across two playoff games, McLaurin has racked up 176 receiving yards on 11 catches, commanding a hefty 24.2% target share from Daniels. As the most trusted target in this offense, McLaurin has consistently produced when it matters most. With the Commanders relying heavily on their passing game against a strong Eagles defense, McLaurin is primed for another big outing.
Given his recent form and importance to Washington’s offense, the over on 64.5 receiving yards feels like excellent value. Expect McLaurin to once again rise to the occasion in this pivotal NFC Championship matchup.
Jayden Daniels Under 54.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
For the Washington Commanders to leave the NFC Championship Game with a victory, they’ll need to find ways to move the ball effectively. While Jayden Daniels has been a game-changer for the Commanders this season, his impact in this matchup is more likely to come through the air than on the ground.
The rookie quarterback has proven to be a dual-threat weapon, racking up 148 rushing attempts during the regular season and 29 more in two playoff games. However, his rushing efficiency has tapered off recently. Over his last two outings, Daniels has managed just 87 rushing yards, averaging a modest 3.0 yards per carry. Facing a stout Eagles front that excels at containing mobile quarterbacks, his ground game could once again be limited.
In their Week 11 meeting in Philadelphia, Daniels was held to 18 rushing yards on seven attempts, highlighting how the Eagles can neutralize his mobility. With Philadelphia’s defense looking even sharper in the playoffs, it’s unlikely Daniels surpasses 54.5 rushing yards on Sunday, making the under a compelling choice for bettors.
The Eagles’ defensive front has been a relentless force this season, and they’ll aim to continue their dominance in the NFC Championship Game. Few players embody their pass-rushing prowess better than Jalen Carter, who delivered a standout performance in last week’s Divisional Round. All signs point to him wreaking havoc once again against the Commanders.
Jalen Carter to Record 1+ Sack +116
Jalen Carter’s impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. While his 6.5 sacks this season might seem modest, his ability to disrupt offensive lines is undeniable. The second-year defensive tackle has racked up 21 quarterback hits, with six of those coming during the playoffs, proving he’s at his best in high-stakes games. Against a shaky Commanders offensive line that has allowed 12 sacks in its last three games, Carter is primed to make a significant impact.
At plus-money odds to record a sack, Carter offers excellent value as one of the most dangerous pass rushers in a game loaded with defensive talent. He’s a strong candidate to deliver another highlight-worthy performance on Sunday.
