One market that has been seeing a lot of changes lately is the NFL Coach of the Year. The question remains: will this year’s winner be a repeat or a new face? The current front runner for the award might surprise you. Let’s dive into the latest odds from DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 8th.
Matt Eberflus of the Bears is currently leading the pack with odds of +900 (bet $10 to win $100). Following closely behind are Jim Harbaugh of the Chargers and Robert Saleh of the Jets, both at +1100 (bet $10 to win $120). Matt LaFleur of the Packers is not far behind with odds of +1200 (bet $10 to win $130).
Last season, Kevin Stefanski of the Cleveland Browns took home the award for the second time in four seasons. However, according to the early odds, he is not among the favorites this year, with the longest odds at +7000.
In March, Jim Harbaugh was favored to win the award after his national championship win at the University of Michigan. But the tides have turned, and Matt Eberflus of the Bears is now the favorite to win. Heading into his third season as head coach, expectations are high for Eberflus, despite his current record of 10-24.
The Bears are looking towards a promising future with the addition of quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick and former Heisman trophy winner. The team has also acquired new weapons like veteran WR Keenan Allen and No. 9 pick Rome Odunze. With these changes, guest host Danny Parkins believes the Bears have what it takes to make it to the playoffs this year.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how the Coach of the Year race unfolds. Stay tuned for updates and follow FOX Sports for the latest NFL news and updates.
