NFL Betting Running Back Odds: Most Rushing Yards Leaders
Most rushing yards, who will lead the NFL?Statfox: It's hard to argue with those betting on Adrian Peterson (+200), despite the short odds, since he is the most explosive running back in the NFL. His jitterbug moves in the hole and ability to hit full stride in two steps separates him from the pack.
The best running back in the NFL in November and December (of last season) was DeAngelo Williams. For the year, Williams averaged 5.5 yards per carry and was over six the last two months. Why Peterson ranks over Williams is because the Carolina ball carrier will lose carries to Jonathan Stewart.

Matt Ryan will be throwing a lot more this season so don't expect Michael Turner to lead the NFL in rushing attempts this season. At +500, there is better value out there we believe.
Do you have any other running backs that could sneak away with rushing title?Statfox: If the offensive line was better, I'd take Steven Jackson right now. He's second only to Peterson and is a home run threat, which piles up yards. Nevertheless, the new coaching staff in St. Louis leaves too many unanswered questions. If Frank Gore is a great long shot at +2500; however, durability is always and issue with the San Francisco back. This will be critical year for Gore's future, as he averaged 5.4 yards per carry his first two years and 4.2 the last couple. Maurice Jones-Drew is another very good choice and is any conversation about "do-it-all" backs. You have to admire his 4.8 yards per carry and will be the featured back with Fred Taylor gone.
My choices in order are Peterson, Jones-Drew and Jackson.
