There's no love lost between pro sports teams in New York and Philadelphia, so after running back Saquon Barkley left the New York Giants for the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason, his return to MetLife Stadium was always going to be emotionally charged. Bettors were counting on it and cashed in.

At sportsbooks across the nation, Saquon Barkley's anytime touchdown (-175) was easily the most popular player prop of Sunday, attracting more bets and handle than any other prop at ESPN BET, BetMGM or DraftKings. Barkley cashed the prop about halfway through the second quarter on a three-yard run en route to 176 rushing yards during the Eagles' 28-3 dismantling of the Giants.
