Definition of Over/Under Player Regular Season Rushing Yards

What does the term "over/under player regular season rushing yards" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by this term?

One of the most popular types of NFL season-long props to bet on is regular season rushing yards.

With this line, you are betting on if a player will finish the regular season above or below the rushing yards total that the book has set for them.

For instance - let's take a look at an actual line for the upcoming regular season:

Breece Hall

Over 922.5 Rushing Yards, -110
Under 922.5 Rushing Yards, -110

This is a very simple bet - either you think that Breece will rush for over 922.5 yards in the season, or you think that he will not meet that mark.

Here is another example:

Nick Chubb

Over 1,045.5 Rushing Yards, -110
Under 1,045.5 Rushing Yards, -110

-

Taking the Under on these types of lines carries with it additional risk, and you need to factor that into your calculations when making a bet.

For instance, there are a number of different factors that could help to contribute to a player going under their total, including:

1) Injury
2) Change in usage
3) Gamescript through the season

The first two are obvious. The third? What happens if the running back is on a really bad team that is often playing from behind? This means that the team will be throwing more and running less.

Season-long props can offer tremendous value for those who are willing to do the research.
