NFL Coach of the Year odds were high on Mike Vrabel entering last year, and he delivered, guiding the New England Patriots all the way to the Super Bowl.
Looking forward to a new season, a similar storyline is emerging, with DraftKings favoring Jesse Minter as he begins his first campaign as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Fresh off successful stints as defensive coordinator with both the University of Michigan and the Los Angeles Chargers, Minter is listed at +650 to win Coach of the Year. Meanwhile, former Ravens HC John Harbaugh also headlines the latestNFL odds for the 2026-27 season.

The New Orleans Saints caught fire at the end of last season, winning four of their last five games. With a full season of Tyler Shough under center, Kellen Moore could see this team take a big step forward in his second year as the Saints' HC.
Based on last season's win-loss records, the New Orleans Saints are set to have the second-easiest schedule in the NFL this season. New Orleans could quietly emerge as a contender to win the NFC South, a title it hasn't claimed since 2020.
