The Philadelphia Eagles swept the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs on Sunday thanks in large part to Saquon Barkley, who ran for 119 yards on 25 carries. However, the only thing missing from Barkley’s stats was a touchdown, much to the dismay of bettors who made him the day’s ticketed player at several sportsbooks.

It turned out to be a particularly painful bet after watching Barkley slide into a seemingly clear path to the end zone on Philadelphia’s final drive.

With a game-best -165 odds, Barkley’s all-time touchdown contest was the most popular of the day at BetMGM, followed by Marvin Mims (+260) and Josh Allen (-130), both of whom also didn’t score with the former Broncos. Bills game.

What’s worse, Barkley didn’t have to go down because the Eagles were already 12 points ahead. Another touchdown would have given them just a three-point lead and effectively ended the game as if they had run out of time. Barkley said after the game that his teammates let him hear him go down.

He’ll hear it from bettors too.
