Favorites to win NFL Coach of the Year
Kevin O'Connell (+190 to +195)
Many sportsbooks had O'Connell on the outside looking in, but three straight wins have bumped the Minnesota Vikings head coach to first on the odds board.
After losing Kirk Cousins to free agency and first-round pick J.J. McCarthy to a season-ending meniscus tear, the jury was out on the Vikings playoff chances. Still, a 4-0 start has seen O'Connell's offensive schemes work to Sam Darnold's benefit.
Time will tell if the magic lasts in Minneapolis.
Dan Quinn (+450 to +550)
Boasting successful stints as a defensive coordinator in Seattle and Dallas — and having led Atlanta to a Super Bowl berth in 2016 — Dan Quinn now has the 3-1 Washington Commanders setting their sights on the NFC East crown.
The Commanders started fast under Quinn, with an assist from first-year OC Kliff Kingsbury — who has second-overall pick Jayden Daniels firing on all cylinders to begin his rookie year.
Mike Macdonald (+550 to +700)

NFL COY FAQs
Kevin Stefanski took home COY honors as the Cleveland Browns made the playoffs for only the second time in the last 20 years.
The last time the Coach of the Year winner also won the Super Bowl in the same season was all the way back in 2003, when Bill Belichick's New England Patriots finished the regular season 14-2 and successfully defeated the Carolina Panthers for the Lombardi Trophy.
