One betting market that has seen a lot of fluctuation over the past few months has been the NFL Coach of the Year.

Will this year’s award winner be a past winner? Or will it be a new contender?

The current favorite to win the award might surprise you.

Let’s get to the action.

Here are the latest Coach of the Year odds from DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 8.

Matt Eberflus, Bears: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)

Jim Harbaugh, Chargers: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)

Robert Saleh, Jets: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)

Matt LaFleur, Packers: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)

DeMeco Ryans, Texans: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)

Raheem Morris, Falcons: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)

Jonathan Gannon, Cardinals: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

Dan Campbell, Lions: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

Shane Steichen, Colts: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)

Dave Canales, Panthers +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski won the award at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, marking the second time he has won in the past four seasons. He also won in 2020-21.

Stefanski is the 12th head coach in NFL history to win COY multiple times.

However, according to the early betting odds, he is not among the favorites this upcoming season, as he currently has the longest odds to win the award at +7000.

Back in March, new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who is fresh off a national championship at the University of Michigan , was favored to win the award.

Harbaugh is no stranger to the award, having won in 2011-12, after he led the San Francisco 49ers to a 13-3 record and an NFC West title in his first season with the organization. However, in recent weeks, there has been a major shift in the odds, as Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is now the favorite to win at +900.

Will the Bears make the playoffs in Caleb Williams’ first year?

Heading into his third full season as head coach for the Bears, oddsmakers have set expectations high for the head coach. Through his first 34 games as an NFL head coach, Eberflus has just a 10-24 record. He has the second-lowest winning percentage in franchise history (0.294) behind John Fox (0.291).

After winning five of their final eight games last season, the Bears have their sights set on a brighter future. That future will include No. 1 overall pick and former Heisman trophy winner quarterback Caleb Williams.

Not only did Ryan Poles and management draft their quarterback of the future, but they also surrounded him with brand new weapons, including veteran WR Keenan Allen and No. 9 pick Rome Odunze.

Bears HC Matt Eberflus is the favorite to win Coach of the Year

On Monday’s episode of “The Herd”, guest host and Chicago’s own Danny Parkins had this to say about the Bears and Eberflus’ chances of winning the award.

“I think the Bears are going to be a playoff team this year, and the hype and the expectation is 100% deserved,” Parkins said. … “I don’t think he is going to win Coach of the Year or be the first coach fired. Those two extremes would not be where I would put my money.”

“The last Bears coach to win Coach of the Year was Matt Nagy. … That was the 2018 year where they won 12 games.”
