Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is looking to make an impact in the running game during the 2024 season. Jacobs played with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He missed some games due to injury. The former Raiders running back has also been banged up at times in training camp.
When he was signed in the offseason, Green Bay decided to release running back Aaron Jones. Fans were looking forward to the possibility of having a tandem of Jacobs and Jones in the backfield, but the Green Bay Packers front office had other ideas.
The Packers run game could be an interesting dimension in the offense this season. Is it possible that head coach Matt LaFleur and offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich want to use a three-down running back or do they want to use a running back by committee system?
FanDuel Sportsbook Releases Over/Under Rushing Yards Totals For Green Bay Packers Running Back Josh Jacobs
Tork Mason/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
For the 2024 season, the over/under rushing yards total for Josh Jacobs is 925.5 rushing yards. The over is -112 odds and the under is -112 odds. Last season, he rushed for 805 yards with the Raiders in 13 games. During his first five seasons, he has gone over the 925.5 rushing yards total three times.
The only other time Jacobs did not reach this total was in 2021 when he rushed for 872 yards in 15 games played. Another thing to consider is he was the main running back with the Las Vegas Raiders for the first five seasons of his NFL career.
This time around, he will be splitting carries with either A.J. Dillon, rookie Marshawn Lloyd, or Emanuel Wilson. Jacobs will have an impact in the running game, but because of the way the offense is run, bet the under 925.5 total rushing yards at -112 odds.
Total Rushing Touchdowns
The over/under total rushing touchdowns for the 2024 season according to FanDuel Sportsbook is 7.5. The over/under odds are both -112. He had six total rushing touchdowns with Las Vegas in 2023. Jacobs has gone over that mark three out of five times in his NFL career.
Josh Jacobs had seven rushing touchdowns in his rookie season. Even though he may not rush for 1,000 yards this season, Jacobs will be the primary running back down at the goal line. Bet the over 7.5 total rushing touchdowns for him at -112 odds.
