Best Bet to win NFL Coach of the Year: Kevin O'Connell (+3000)
More than any other award, Coach of the Year is narrative-driven.
It is very often won by coaches who exceed preseason expectations, and those coaches are often new or relatively new to their respective teams.
Unsurprisingly, then, the early odds are dominated by coaches in their first or second years with an organization.
2024 Coach of the Year Kevin O'Connell does not really fit that mold, but he is leading a very good and perhaps underrated roster.
More importantly, Kyler Murray is likely to be the starting quarterback, and O'Connell getting Murray's career back on track in the same way he helped Sam Darnold would be a great story for CoY voters.
The Vikings are likely undervalued in futures markets.
Betting on O'Connell at 30-1 odds is a good way to get value on the Vikings overachieving preseason expectations.
