Minnesota is coming off a season where it went 7-9. Despite that, the Vikings are in the midst of a playoff window, given their high-octane offense and rebuilt defense.
A bounce-back year could theoretically propel Mike Zimmer into Coach of the Year conversations, but according to our friends at BetMGM, the market does not consider him to be among the favorites right now.
Zimmer is +2,500, tying him for 13th in terms of the best odds to win the award. Zimmer has the same odds as Sean Payton of the Saints, Arthur Smith of the Falcons, Joe Judge of the Giants, Vic Fangio of the Broncos, Matt Nagy of the Bears, Mike Vrabel of the Titans and Matt Rhule of the Panthers. Former Vikings offensive coordinator and Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is the odds-on favorite at the moment.
