NFL Prop Odds: Most Rushing Yards
(The Spread) – Which NFL running back will have the most rushing yards in 2011? Check out the odds.
Arian Foster led the league last year with 1,616 rushing yards on 327 carries. Jamaal Charles was second with 1,467 and Michael Turner was third with 1,371. The Titans’ Chris Johnson finished fourth with 1,364 and Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jaguars rounded out the top 5 with 1,324 yards.
Adrian Peterson was sixth with 1,298 yards, but he’s currently listed as the favorite to rush for the most yards in 2011 at 5/1. Johnson, who is currently in the midst of a holdout, has the next best odds at 11/2 while Turner is 13/2. Foster, who is currently dealing with a hamstring injury, is 15/2 to finish with the most rushing yards this season.
Charles rounds out the top 10 with odds of 10/1 while Jones-Drew and the Rams’ Steven Jackson are 12/1, respectively. Frank Gore, who is reportedly angry with the 49ers over his contract, is 16/1 to rush for the most yards in 2011, as is the Ravens’ Ray Rice.
There are three running backs that have odds of 18/1: Ahmad Bradshaw of the Giants, LeGarrette Blount of the Buccaneers and Rashard Mendenhall of the Steelers. Two long shots to keep an eye on this year are Darren McFadden (20/1) of the Raiders and LeSean McCoy (22/1) of the Eagles, assuming Michael Vick doesn’t steal the latter’s carries.
