NFL Coach of the Year Odds 2025
| Coach | Opening Odds | Odds Before Week 18 | Closing Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Vrabel | +850 | -145 | -285 |
| Mike Macdonald | +2000 | +750 | +300 |
| Ben Johnson | +750 | +3000 | +1800 |
| Liam Coen | +1400 | +1700 | +1800 |
Entering Week 18, oddsmakers viewed Coach of the Year as a three-horse race between Vrabel, Macdonald and Kyle Shanahan.
A Seattle win over San Francisco impacted the odds significantly. Vrabel rose from -145 to -285, with Shanahan falling from +185 to +4000. In tandem, Macdonald moved from +750 to +300.
Sunday’s game saw minimal impact to those prices. Vrabel’s Patriots held serve against the Dolphins, so the prior winner closed at -285.
Only two coaches saw prices change based on Week 18 results. Bears head coach Ben Johnson, the preseason favorite, rose from +3000 to +1800.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen moved from +1700 to +1800, despite a blowout win over the Titans.
At BetMGM, Vrabel earned 12.9% of bets placed and 26% of money wagered to win the award. No other coach saw more than 13% of money wagered to win.
