So is Portis overworked because the coaches want him to be overworked, and we're wasting Betts' talents? Or is Betts only getting 4-5 carries per game because we play a lot of close games and Betts represents a significant downgrade from Portis that needs to be corrected?

I think the coaches know that Betts doesn't really add much to the offense when he is in there. He can do 2 things, run straight ahead and catch swing passes. He's not a threat on the stretch plays, he can't block anyone and isn't much of a threat to catch the ball anywhere else other than the flats.
He played himself into a nice contract a couple of years ago when Portis was hurt and good for him, but he's just a guy-nothing special.
