Hurts, McCaffrey Currently Co-Leaders in Rushing Touchdown Odds

In the ongoing battle for rushing touchdown supremacy, two names currently dominate the conversation: Jalen Hurts and Christian McCaffrey. Both are now tied as co-favorites with odds at +950. While Raheem Mostert made waves with his remarkable four scores on Sunday for the Miami Dolphins, it&#8217;s the strategies of the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers that are capturing the most attention.
Hurts&#8217;s name on this leaderboard is an anomaly. Quarterbacks, traditionally, aren&#8217;t supposed to come anywhere near the league leaders in rushing touchdowns. Their forte is, naturally, passing. Yet here we are. It&#8217;s a testament to the changing dynamics of the game.
There&#8217;s been significant debate around the &#8220;push" tactic – where teams push the quarterback closer to the end zone during short-yardage situations. When the Eagles get to the one-yard line, it&#8217;s almost guaranteed that Hurts will find the end zone, thanks to this controversial strategy. Critics argue it&#8217;s unfair, but it&#8217;s a tactic available to every team, making it hard to label as illegal.
The question then arises: Are the Eagles using this strategy to make a point? With national commentators constantly berating the &#8220;push" move, perhaps Philadelphia is on a mission to exploit this to the fullest and embarrass the NFL. Could we see Hurts notch up 25 rushing touchdowns in a season? The odds seem to be veering in that direction.
Then there&#8217;s Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey has been nothing short of sensational playing for the San Francisco 49ers this season. Kyle Shanahan seems to have abandoned his previous 50-50 split in the backfield, now favoring McCaffrey as his primary weapon. Three touchdowns in, and McCaffrey is already showcasing why he&#8217;s considered one of the best in the league.
Yet, McCaffrey&#8217;s history of injuries remains a concern. But when he&#8217;s in form, the 49ers are indisputably an elite team with a dominant back.
As we dissect the leaderboard, it seems apparent that the NFC&#8217;s rushing touchdown title will likely be a battle between Jalen Hurts and Christian McCaffrey. The upcoming games will undoubtedly shed more light on this exciting duel.
