The NFL Coach of the Year is a tough award to predict. It usually goes to a coach whose team overachieves initial expectations, overcomes extreme adversity or is simply dominant all season from start to finish.
Last season it was Cleveland’s Kevin Stefanski who won the award by a tiebreaker over Houston’s DeMeco Ryans. The Browns overcame multiple severe injuries to key players to make the playoffs. The Texans were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL and finished as AFC South Division winners with a rookie quarterback.
Entering 2024, those scenarios are a little more difficult to project, especially when looking for a good value bet.

NFL Coach of the Year best bet
Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers (+1400)
The Packers started 3-6 last season and then caught fire, finishing 9-8 and making the playoffs where they beat the Cowboys in a Wild Card game.
Entering 2024, they are expected to be a playoff team but are not the favorites to win the NFC North. Detroit is +130 to win it, while Green Bay is +200. But with the emergence QB Jordan Love, who threw 18 TDs and only 1 interception over the last 8 regular-season games, and a new defensive coordinator in Jeff Hafley (former Boston College coach) who is expected to shore up their issues, the Packers could be surprisingly good.
They will likely play neck-and-neck in the division with the Lions. Winning 12-plus games is a real possibility.
Eberflus’ Bears have a rookie QB in Caleb Williams — the No. 1 overall pick out of USC — but already had a level of expectations for improved play.
Morris is a good candidate because the Falcons won 7 games last season and added QB Kirk Cousins in the offseason, but that bet at +1000 doesn’t offer the value that LaFleur does at +1400.
Meanwhile, Hoston’s Ryans already exceeded expectations and almost won the award last season. The Texans would have to become a 13-win team for him to win the award.
BET MATT LAFLEUR to win NFL COACH OF THE YEAR (+1400).
