Zeke’s third straight 100-yard rushing game

Running back Ezekiel Elliott is yet again playing great. He is running with force and has put up back-to-back 100-yard games. So far this season, Elliott has averaged over four yards per carry in every game.

The great production from running back Tony Pollard last week should not take away much from Elliott. Unless Zeke needs a short break or it is a blowout, Elliott should be on the field for the majority of the snaps.

The Saints are ranked eighth in the NFL with 134.3 rushing yards against per game. They’re also giving up 5.1 yards per rush. Betting on Elliott gaining over 100 yards more than a safe bet, with even 130+ being a good bet as well.

The five rushing touchdowns against is tied for second-most in the league. So far Zeke only has two touchdowns on the ground. This is a good opportunity for him to get his first multi-touchdown game of the season.

Zeke is averaging 5.3 yards per carry this season which is the best in his career. He should be able to take this momentum into New Orleans and once again eclipse 100 yards. If anyone thinks otherwise, well then I’m not quite sure how to respond to that.

This game should fall on Dallas’ defense and how they can control quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and Kamara. The offense is in a great position to again put up a lot of points.
