Following a dramatic win on Thursday Night Football, Lions coach Dan Campbell became a bigger NFL Coach of the Year favorite by shifting from +120 to -185 odds at DraftKings.
The Lions are tied with the Chiefs for the league’s best record 12-1. Detroit also clearly leads the league with a +183 point differential. The next-closest team is the 10-3 Bills at +129.
While the point spread does not impact voting, it does measure performance in regards to expectations. Detroit is 9-4 ATS, which speaks to Campbell’s ability to keep his team focused despite being favored in all but one game.
Mike Tomlin of the 10-3 Pittsburgh Steelers, who lead the AFC North, is the second favorite with +450 odds.
Kevin O’Connell of the 11-2 Minnesota Vikings is next with +500 odds.
The Lions are also Super Bowl favorites with +260 odds and host the Buffalo Bills this Sunday as two-point favorites.
