This season, he's already over halfway to his 2021 total with his NFL-best 570 scrimmage yards through the first four weeks. Last year was a slog as Barkley finished with 856 scrimmage yards, his first season under 1,000 when playing at least 10 games, as he shook off the rust from the ACL injury.

The revival of Saquon Barkley as an NFL superstar is one of the biggest reasons for the team's hot start under first-year head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants are 3-1 this season for the first time since 2011, the last time they won the Super Bowl, with quarterback Eli Manning. And few players have been as impactful in 2022, he argues, than the running back for the New York Giants: Speaking of the NFC East, Garrett Podell's Star Power Index identifies which players have the most influence in the game today. I don't think the Cowboys are destined to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this year, but in the weak NFC, they are going to have a shot to make a run. They are an NFL-best 16-5 against the spread over the last two seasons - and if you're not a gambling person, that basically just means that Dallas has exceeded expectations. The Cowboys have done both, as they have won five straight road games, and covered the spread in each one. DeMarcus Lawrence and the defensive line have been dominant, Micah Parsons looks like a Defensive Player of the Year favorite and Donovan Wilson is a rising star. The Cowboys have allowed just 15.5 points per game, which ranks third in the NFL, and own the second-highest pressure rate this season.

Everyone is intrigued by the Steelers' QB change, but Breech thinks Pittsburgh is 'throwing Kenny Pickett to the lions' by giving him his first start against the Bills, who are favored by two touchdowns in Week 5.

The guys are all of the mind that Teddy Bridgewater isn't necessarily a big step down from Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback in Miami, with Breech suggesting the -2.5 line barely favoring the Dolphins over the Jets is 'a huge overcorrection.' Sully even thinks Bridgewater was throwing downfield better than Tagovailoa off the bench in Week 4, which is why he likes the Fins.Tyler Sullivan and John Breech joined Will Brinson on Wednesday's 'Pick Six NFL Podcast' to preview some of their best bets for the Week 5 slate.
