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.
