Saquon Barkley's had two long touchdowns when the Philadelphia Eagles last played the Los Angeles Rams in last season's NFC Divisional Round. Barkley has the shortest odds to find the end zone at -145 when these two teams square off again in Philadelphia in Week 3, but is he the best value on the board?

Top Rams-Eagles anytime touchdown scorer props
- Jalen Hurts -135
- Blake Corum +500
Jalen Hurts -135
I'm sure a lot of people remember Barkley dashing toward the end zone in the snow in last year's playoffs against the Rams, and he'll be getting a good amount of action to score vs. Los Angeles again. But I don't think Barkley (-145) should be a heavier favorite in this market than Hurts (-135) in any Eagles game going forward, unless the tush push gets banned. A remarkable 11.7% of Philadelphia's offensive snaps against the Chiefs in Week 2 were tush pushes. Unless that rule gets changed, the Eagles are going to continue to utilize a clear advantage they have over the rest of the NFL. Over the Eagles' last 16 games, Hurts has scored a touchdown in 13 contests, while Barkley has found the end zone in nine matchups. This price is just too low for Hurts.
Blake Corum +500
Corum had a career-high 44 rushing yards last week against the Titans and scored his first career NFL touchdown. Corum looked explosive against the Titans, and he seems to be taking that Year 2 leap. Rams head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that his ideal split would be starting tailback Kyren Williams getting 65% of the snaps and Corum receiving the other 35%. If Corum ends up continuing to get more playing time, that +500 is a screaming value with Williams priced at -105 to find the end zone.
