Do you believe that Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew eventually will report to the club and again run away with the NFL regular-season rushing title?

If so, and if you are of a gambling mindset, you can place a wager on the very subject at the Caesars Entertainment sportsbooks in Nevada.

Jones-Drew, though, was not the betting favorite as of Monday at the Caesars books, which includes the Caesars Palace, Harrah’s and Paris hotels on the Las Vegas strip. Instead, Texans RB Arian Foster, who led the NFL in rushing two seasons ago, was a 7-2 favorite, with the Ravens’ Ray Rice the second-betting choice at 9-2.

Jones-Drew, who wants a new contract and didn't show up at Jaguars’ training camp Thursday, was the third betting choice at 5-1.

Here’s the full list of rushing-title odds from Caesars:

Texans RB Arian Foster: 7-2
Ravens RB Ray Rice: 9-2
Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew: 5-1
Eagles RB LeSean McCoy: 8-1
Chargers RB Ryan Mathews: 9-1
Titans RB Chris Johnson: 10-1
Browns RB Trent Richardson: 12-1
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson: 12-1
Raiders RB Darren McFadden: 12-1
Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles: 15-1
Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch: 15-1
Rams RB Steven Jackson: 18-1
49ers RB Frank Gore: 20-1
Falcons RB Michael Turner: 20-1
Bears RB Matt Forté: 25-1

Handicappers analyzing such a wager are charged with 1) determining whether a back will get — and do enough with — the necessary carries to win the rushing title and 2) whether the price is right, among other factors.

Below is a chart with each running back's rushing-title odds and his rushing attempts per game, rushing yards per game and total rushing yards in 2011. (In the case of the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles, who played less than two games a season ago, I used 2010 data.)
