The 2020 NFL Coach of the Year award has been handed out annually since 1957 by the Associated Press, which is one reason why it's the most widely recognized outlet handing out the honors.

Sportsbooks have started increasing their betting markets on the upcoming season and one of the most potentially profitable wagers focuses on projecting the winner of this. Last season's winner, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, won for the first time in his 12th season at the helm and had odds of +2800. Cleveland's Freddie Kitchens entered the season as the betting favorite and ended up being fired after a 7-9 finish.

Co-Favorites Lead Wide Open COY Field

There's a clear pecking order on most NFL futures. The Chiefs and Ravens are your Super Bowl favorites. Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are joined by Seahawks star Russell Wilson as the top MVP candidates.

The No. 1 and No. 2 draft picks, Cincinnati's Joe Burrow and Washington's Chase Young, are frontrunners for Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year.

However, when it comes to the guys manning the sideline, there is no clear favorite. New England's Bill Belichick, looking to prove he can win despite losing Tom Brady, is a +1200 (Bet $100 to win $1200) co-favorite according FanDuel Sportsbook. He's won three Coach of the Year awards but needed to finish 14-2 or better every time to get the nod.

Without his quarterback for the past two decades sharing in the credit for all the spoils, Belichick may only need to rack up another AFC East title with Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer at the controls to stake claim to a fourth honor. Expectations for the Patriots are lower than they have been since 2001, when Belichick was coming off a 5-11 first season and Brady was slated to serve as Drew Bledsoe's primary backup.

Belichick would join the late Don Shula as the lone four-time winners of the award.

Mike McCarthy, beginning his first season as head coach of the Cowboys, has been cast as a +1200 (Bet $100 to win $200) co-favorite due to the belief that he might provide a significant enough upgrade over former head coach Jason Garrett that Dallas immediately competes for an NFC title.

After underachieving and stumbling to an 8-8 finish in 2019, Dallas is hoping an offense that has the potential to be one of the NFL's best will be able to flourish. The expectation that Dak Prescott will get a new contract before racking up stats with receivers Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb has helped the Cowboys nose ahead of the Eagles as the NFC East favorite.

After splitting with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, McCarthy has an opportunity to restore his reputation. He crashed with an 11-16-1 run after reaching the playoffs in nine of 10 seasons, winning a Super Bowl. After a year out of the spotlight, he's landed the highest-profile head coaching gig in the NFL and will likely have a longer leash out of the gate than he'll ever have under owner/GM Jerry Jones.

McDermott Worth a Shot with AFC East in Play

Brady's new boss, Bruce Arians, could become the second head coach in NFL history to win Coach of the Year with three different teams, joining the late Chuck Knox, who won with the Rams, Bills and Seahawks. Arians is expected to let it fly with Brady in a wide-open offense and could benefit if the soon-to-be 43-year-old flourishes.

Arians (+1400) went 7-9 in his first season with the Bucs but was victimized by Jameis Winston throwing 30 interceptions which really proved costly since Tampa dropped six games by seven points or less.

Colts head coach Frank Reich (+1400) is also in a strong position to lay claim to this award since he's got a great shot to lead Indianapolis to a playoff berth following a 7-9 run after Andrew Luck abruptly retired in the preseason. Indy fell in seven of the final nine games, running out of gas after being besieged by injuries.

The Cardinals are also expected to improve in the second season under Kliff Kingsbury and former No. 1 pick Kyler Murray, but at +1800, there's a better option than riding with the team expected to bring up the rear in the NFC West regardless of their expected improvement. Bills head coach Sean McDermott has built up some credibility by leading his team to a pair of Wild Card Game appearances in three years and now presides over the AFC East favorite.

Buffalo is hoping to see more consistency from a young group led by third-year quarterback Josh Allen and one of the league's top defensive units but is capable of keeping the Patriots' run of consecutive division titles from reaching a dozen. New England has won the AFC East in 16 of the last 17 years.

The Bills haven't celebrated a division title since 1995, so if they're able to hold serve as the preseason favorite (+130, Bet $100 to win $130), we could see McDermott become the first winner from Buffalo since Knox won in '80. Bills coaching legend Marv Levy never won the AP Coach of the Year award, though he was honored by the Sporting News in 1988.

Other potential best bets include three tremendous options at +2200 or better in Andy Reid, Harbaugh and Pete Carroll since they all have the top MVP candidates to lean on. Reid and Harbaugh (both +2200) have the best shot at finishing 16-0 after combining to go 26-6 in '19.

Carroll(+2600) has a Seahawks team a lot of people are sleeping on that could emerge as the class of the loaded NFC West. If he can take control of the division back from the reigning NFC champion 49ers, he'll get consideration

The best of longshots at +3000 or higher include Matt LaFleur (+3000), who guided the Packers to the NFC Championship in his first season. Jon Gruden, looking to lead the Raiders to just their second winning season since 2002, would garner serious consideration if he can bring Las Vegas a winner immediately. At +3400, you could do worse as far as lottery tickets are concerned.

How to read Super Bowl 56 Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55. However, the Chiefs remain the favorites to win Super Bowl 56 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The Chiefs are listed at 6/1 odds (Bet $100 to win $600), while the defending champion Buccaneers are the third-betting choice at 10/1.

In between Kansas City and Tampa Bay are the Green Bay Packers, who are currently at 9/1 odds.

Here is a quick reference on Super Bowl odds for the upcoming 2021 NFL season.

How to read NFL Las Vegas Odds

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points.

Browns coach odds pro football

The favorite is always listed with a minus (-) sign before the point-spread while the underdog is labeled with a plus (+) label.

Ex. Favorite -10, Underdog +10

On the VegasInsider.com odds page, there is another number associated with the favorite and its listed as -10. This number is simply defined as “vig” or what many in the sports betting industry call vigorish. Another common term is called “juice” and it’s technically the price the bettor has to pay on a straight wager.

Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice)
Ex. Bet $100 to win $90.91 (10% juice)

It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NFL Vegas Odds pages could include -08, -12, -15 and -20. The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category.

The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NFL bets.

Another number that’s posted on the NFL Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites.

All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NFL Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time.

NFL Open Line

One of the best features on the NFL Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NFL or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first.

VI Consensus NFL Line

The VegasInsider.com Consensus NFL Line is just as important as the Open Line and also a key resource on odds platform. The Consensus column could be called a “Median Line” since it shows the most consistent number provided by the sportsbooks on VegasInsider.com. The consensus line will be the same as the open line but once the wagers start coming in, this number is often different than the openers.

How do I bet on the Super Bowl?

We know that you can bet on the Super Bowl and all of NFL Futures or bet on the NFL Draft at any time of the year, but what’s the process? The future wager or the “Odds to Win” bet on the Super Bowl is correctly selecting a team to win an event that takes place at a later time. A bettor will have his wagered money tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager. In the case of the Super Bowl, you’re not a winner or loser until you see zeros on the clock in the final game.

Most sportsbooks offer different ways to read to Super Bowl Odds. In the fractional NFL Futures Odds format below, you simply take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered.

Ex. Green Bay (8/1) to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are listed as an 8/1 betting choice to win the Super Bowl. If you wager $100 on Green Bay to win the NFC and they capture the championship, then you would win $800 (8 ÷ 1 x 100). Your online betting account would then credit your account $900, which includes your win and stake ($100).

The American Format would see Green Bay listed at +800 and for the Decimal Format, the Packers would be 9.00.

If you are in a state where online betting is legal, we encourage you to check out our sportsbook directory to find the most trustworthy and reputable sites and mobile apps to place your Super Bowl bets.
