The 2020 NFL season is still months away, but it isn't too early to look ahead to who might be the next NFL Coach of the Year.
December 9 The Steelers lost their first game of the season and Mike Tomlin is no longer the odds-on favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year as a result. He is still favored at +200 odds, but Brian Flores, Kevin Stefanski, and Ron Rivera all have +500 or better odds as well. The oddsmakers over at FanDuel Sportsbook have released their odds for 2020 NFL Coach of the Year and it's no surprise who the two co-favorites are sitting atop the betting perch. NFL Coach of the Year 2020/21 Predictions and Betting Odds Mike Lukas - May 27, 2020 New NFL head coaches typically get a five-year contract, but most are canned before their deals expire, so it is always interesting to speculate on the fate of these underappreciated (and often overpaid) team leaders. The 67-year-old is one of the top coaches in the NFL and is in a prime position to put the league on notice, even in the competitive NFC South. Tampa Bay is +1200 to win the Super Bowl for a reason, and Arians is the right man to guide this team as it climbs out of the basement of the league and into relevancy.
BetMGM has futures odds for the award. Below, we break down the candidates and pinpoint the best bets.

2020 Coach of the Year best bets
Belichick (+1000) is the favorite for a reason. The Patriots have had unprecedented success and, if they continue to be good without QB Tom Brady, it will only add to Belichick's legacy. He could tie Don Shula by winning the award for the fourth time.
The award is about performance vs. expectations, and a coach gets credit if his team far exceeds expectations. Which teams are in position to do that?
For that reason, the Cowboys' McCarthy (+1400), beginning his first year with Dallas, is one of the favorites to watch.
However, if there is one pick that makes sense, it is Kingsbury. The Cardinals are vastly improved on defense and many believe QB Kyler Murray can have a second season that rivals what Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson have done. The Cardinals, coming off a five-win season, could be a surprise. If they win 10 games or more, KINGSBURY (+1600) is a good bet.
The Bucs' ARIANS (+2000) is another good bet because of the addition of Brady. Tampa Bay won seven games with QB Jameis Winston throwing 30 interceptions last season.
Likewise, with the addition of Philip Rivers at quarterback, the Colts' REICH (+1600) is another good bet. They already have the defense and if Rivers can be what he has been in his career, the Colts could dominate the AFC South.
