1. Barkley at the Rams Hunting
One of the beautiful duels of the week will oppose the Rams to the Eagles, in Philadelphia. If we trust the two games of last season between the two teams, the Rams have an interest in having the prolific carrier Saquon Barkley. During the regular season clash, Barkley had become the fourth player in the era of the Super Bowl to win at least 300 yards on the melee line (255 by the race and 47 by the pass) in a 37-20 victory. In playoffs, Barkley had reoffended with 205 yards on the ground, 27 by the pass and two affected. Ayoye!
2. The Jacobs sequence

Without making any noise, another ball carrier in the NFL vogue on an excellent sequence. Josh Jacobs, packers, scored a hit on the ground in 11 successful games including the playoffs. His sequence started week 11 last season. Faced with the Browns, he could become the fifth player only in history with at least one touch on the ground in 12 successful games and the first since Ladainian Tomlinson, with the Chargers, in 2004. The record of 15 games in a row with at least one touch on the ground is held by John Riggins (Washington) since 1983.
3. LSU former receivers

In the NCAA, LSU is often considered one of the most beautiful passwriters factories to shine in the NFL. The duel between the Vikings and the Bengals will take action two of the large modern flagships of this program, since Ja’marr Chase aligns for Bengals and Justin Jefferson for the Vikings. In 2019, LSU had won the national championship with Chase and Jefferson, who captured passes from a certain Joe Burrow! Among the players who have at least 50 games in the NFL, Jefferson and Chase display the highest averages of winnings per game in history. Jefferson has won 95.7 yards so far by meeting and Chase, 87.8.
4. Grand Myles Garrett
Browns tear it away, but can still bet on the terrorizing defensive winger Myles Garrett.

Myles Garrett gets too little attention due to the perpetual troubles experienced by the Browns, which have still not won this season. However, he is still one of the most dominant players on the field, all positions combined. Garrett obtained two bags against Bengals and 1.5 against the Ravens this season. If he adds two against the packers, he would bring his total to 108 and thus join the one and only Reggie White with the highest total bags for a player below the 30 years. It will be his 120th career match and only White (123 bags), Demarcus Ware (108.5 bags) and TJ Watt (108 bags) have done their first 120 games better.
5. Rare for charges

The charges do not have a convenient match against the Broncos, but they already have two victories and if they prevail again, they will present a 3-0 sheet for the first time since 2002. It has been a lease! They have so far beat the chiefs and raiders, two rivals of division. Broncos are also division rivals. Since the realignment of the divisons in 2002, only the 2003 Vikings and the 2006 Bears have started a season with three successful victories against division rivals.
