Mike Tomlin has been pushing all the right buttons in Year 18 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he has his team in first place in the AFC North heading into Week 12 after beating the Baltimore Ravens.

However, his team isn't the only one who has started fast, as Dan Campbell and Jim Harbaugh each have their clubs firing on all cylinders in the 2024-25 Coach of the Year odds. See who else stands among the sideline's elite in the latest NFL odds.

Favorites to win NFL Coach of the Year 

Mike Tomlin (+225 to +300)

Mike Tomlin caught some flack when he benched Justin Fields for Russell Wilson after a 4-2 start, but four straight wins have the Pittsburgh Steelers in command in the AFC North. 

Barring a complete collapse, Tomlin's incredible streak of non-losing seasons will continue in style despite bottom-of-the-barrel expectations going into this campaign.

Dan Campbell (+350 to +400)

Last season, Dan Campbell led the Detroit Lions to their first divisional title since 1993, and after narrowly missing a Super Bowl appearance, he now has Motor City operating at full throttle in 2024.

The Lions have started strong at 9-1, putting them on pace for the best season in franchise history.

Jim Harbaugh (+440 to +500)

Jim Harbaugh has eschewed style for substance with the Los Angeles Chargers, and it's worked.

The Chargers boast the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL, propelling them to a 7-3 record. They'll be hard-pressed to reel in the Chiefs in the AFC West, but a playoff appearance is looking more and more likely.

NFL Coach of the Year betting splits

  • With odds of +2,000, Dan Campbell captured the most pre-Week 1 action at BetMGM, generating 14.1% of tickets and 17.1% of the handle.
