Mike Tomlin is the betting favorite for Coach of the Year

Mike Tomlin has never been the NFL’s Coach of the Year. This season could be his best chance.

After coaching the Steelers to a victory over the Ravens on Sunday, Tomlin is the betting favorite to win the Coach of the Year award, which is determined by a panel of Associated Press voters.

Tomlin’s odds are +225 at DraftKings. Lions coach Dan Campbell is next at +350, followed by Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell at +400, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh at +450, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon at +500 and Commanders coach Dan Quinn at + 650.

In a sense, Tomlin has become a victim of his own success in winning Coach of the Year. Voters usually give the award to the coach whose team was the biggest surprise of the year, but Tomlin’s Steelers have been so consistent that it’s never that surprising when they have a good season.

This year, few expected the Steelers to win the AFC North. But they are 8-2 and favored to beat the Browns tonight to make it 9-2, and they are starting to pull away from the Ravens in the division. If they win the division, Tomlin could finally get the Coach of the Year award that has eluded him thus far.
