Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (the Tush Push helped inflate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>his numbers) and Josh Allen weren\u2019t too far behind with 15. Christian McCaffrey was tied with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostert for the league lead with 21 scores but only 14 came from the ground. So who has the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>best chance to lead the league in 2024? We\u2019ll break down the usual suspects and see if we can<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>uncover a diamond in the betting rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christian McCaffrey 49ers +600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian McCaffrey was a touchdown machine last season finishing with 14 rushing scores and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a league-high 1459 rushing yards while sitting out the final game of the year. CMC ranked first<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in red-zone carries with 63 and second in carries inside the ten with 34. There is no question he<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>is the 49ers go-to-guy. Kyle Shanahan will want to put the ball in the hands of his best player so<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>expect McCaffrey to get a lot of touches. The big question is can CMC stay healthy. If he can,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>he could be a shoe in for this title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Derrick Henry, Ravens +650<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ravens new running back already has two rushing TD titles from 2019 and 2020 and has<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>reached double-digit scores in six straight seasons. In Tennessee, Henry was handed the ball<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>often. Will that be the same with Lamar Jackson at the helm? King Henry takes over as the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>goal-line specialist from Gus Edwards, who scored 13 times last season. Baltimore led the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>league in rushing and finished second with 26 rushing touchdowns last season. All signs point<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to the same game plan, but with Derrick Henry in the backfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rushin\u2019 Longshot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gus Edwards, LA Chargers +5000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned Gus Edwards is coming up a 13 touchdown season after scoring 13 rushing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>scores in his first five seasons in the NFL. Edwards will play the same role under new Chargers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>coach, Jim Harbaugh, who loves to run the ball. Edwards has a familiar face as former Ravens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>offensive coordinator Greg Roman takes over in LA. He\u2019ll have every opportunity to score<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>inside the five, and while his odds are long, it could pay off if Edwards runs wild with the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Odds For Most Regular Season Rushing Touchdowns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian McCaffrey SF +600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Derrick Henry BAL +650<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Hurts PHI +1000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bijan Robinson ATL +1400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh Allen BUF +1400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breece Hall NYJ +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan Taylor IND +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Montgomery DET +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saquon Barkley PHI +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raheem Mostert MIA +1600<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last season, Raheem Mostert led the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns and for betting enthusiasts, he was +4000 to do&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":24353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[146],"class_list":["post-25236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25237,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25236\/revisions\/25237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
