Eagles vs Bengals Prop Betting for Week 8

Prop Bet #1: Saquon Barkley Over 80.5 rushing yards

-115 at BetMGM

The Philadelphia Eagles The offense has dealt with injuries this season, especially to pass-catchers DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown. While both players are now back, the Birds have focused on their running game. And why not, when you have Saquon Barkley in your land?

The former New York Giant ranks third in the NFL with 658 rushing yards. He averages an astounding 6.1 yards per carry and also has five touchdowns. The Eagles’ running offense is second in the NFL because of Barkley.

In six games since 2024, the 27-year-old has hit Over five times in rushing yards. His only poor outing was in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 47 yards. Last Sunday, he returned in a revenge game against his former team, cooking them for 176 yards on the ground.

The Bengals’ run defense is 21st in the league. Barkley will thrive here again and play a big role in the outcome in Cincy. This bet is a no-brainer given the way it plays out.

Prop Bet #2: Ja’Marr Chase Anytime TD

-110 at BetMGM

Ja’Marr Chase is the WR1 for Joe Burrow and is proving his worth once again this season with 39 receptions for 620 yards and six touchdowns. In other words, he had a TD in almost every appearance.

Although there were three games where he didn’t find the end zone for Cincinnati BengalsChase enjoyed two contests with two touchdowns each. Last weekend against the Browns, the former LSU standout managed five carries for 55 yards and a score.

Maybe the odds look so good because Chase has never played with the Eagles in his career. This is the first meeting between the two teams since 2020, a year before he was drafted. Given how important Chase is to Burrow in this offense, I like this bet at -110.

Prop Bet #3: AJ Brown Over 77.5 receiving yards

-115 at BetMGM

Brown is one of the best wideouts in the entire league and showed it in the season opener, hauling in five receptions for 119 yards and a TD. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury that kept him out for three games after that, but Brown has hit the ground running since his return.

WR had six catches for 116 yards in his first game back from injury against Cleveland. He then compiled five receptions for 89 yards last weekend in New York. He hit the Over in receiving yards in every contest in ’24.

The former Mississippi star may not always have a ton of receptions in a game, but he is averaging 20.2 yards per catch, which would be a career high. The Bengals’ pass defense also ranks 21st in the league. I think Brown will get here and hit the Over comfortably.
