Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is in good standing amongst sportsbooks ahead of the 2020 NFL season.
McDermott was a finalist for the NFL’s Coach of the Year Award last season. It eventually went to Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
Looking ahead, McDermott is in the early discussion again. According to BetMGM, McDermott has the fourth-best odds among all coaches to take home the hardware next season at +1800.
The opening favorite is the Patriots’ Bill Belichick at +1000. He’ll have some big mountains to climb with in order to win the award, but with quarterback Tom Brady skipping town, any successes the Pats have next season will now be directly linked to Belichick.
Behind him is a two-way tie for second and a three-way tie for third. McDermott slides in as the lone coach at +1800.
Here’s part of BetMGM’s current odds for Coach of the Year:
Bill Belichick +1000
Mike Vrabel +1400
Mike McCarthy _1400
Kyle Shanahan +1600
Frank Reich +1600
Kliff Kingsbury +1600
Sean McDermott +1800
Bruce Arians +2000
Andy Reid +2000
Sean Payton +2000
Brian Flores +2000
Mike Tomlin +2000
