NFL Coach of the Year Odds: History

Since 2012, only Bruce Arians and Ron Rivera have nabbed the NFL Coach of the Year award multiple times. Arians won in 2012 and 2014, while Rivera won in 2013 and 2015. In 2022, Mike Vrabel, coach of the Tennessee Titans, won the award after finishing with a record of 12-5.

Futures & Outright Betting in the NFL

Betting on the NFL Coach of the Year falls under Futures betting. Here is an example table for the NFL Coach of the Year odds.

Coach

Odds

Nick Sirianni (Eagles)

+150

Brian Daboll (Giants)

+450

Kevin O’Connell (Vikings)

+1200

Mike McDaniel (Dolphins)

+1600

Doug Pederson (Jaguars)

+1800

Brandon Staley (Chargers)

If a bettor wagers $100 on Nick Sirianni to win the NFL Coach of the Year and goes on to win, the bettor wins $150 based on these odds on the favorite.

On the other hand, if the bettor places a $100 bet on Brandon Staley to lift the title, then the bettor will win $2,000 because he is clearly less favored in the NFL Coach of the Year odds.

NFL Coach of the Year Odds: How Odds Change

As with any other long-term market, the NFL Coach of the Year odds is constantly in flux. Having said that, it is also true that the Coach of the Year odds are comparatively more stable than most other futures markets since this category isn’t directly tied to the numbers produced on the gridiron.

Team performance still matters, of course, but it is not everything. It’s the case that the Coach of the Year does not have to manage the Super Bowl champs. 

NFL Coach of the Year Odds Strategy

Weigh up the odds versus real life

Finding value in a market that rarely stays the same at closing as it was when opening becomes crucial. Is there an up-and-coming coach who is doing better than expected? Have you discovered a vulnerability with a team that could mean one of the early favorites has inflated odds? See if you can spot the value in the market.

Experience counts

The NFL is a grueling league and takes a lot of physical, emotional, and mental effort to win. There’s no surprise that the coaches who have been around the circuit and seen it all end up winning this title the most. Be wary of any shiny new names you might find enticing - game changers in football are once-in-a-generation phenomena.
