Cowboys Odds: Don't Bet on Mike McCarthy as 'Coach of the Year'

FRISCO - Mike McCarthy could do a heckuva job this year - say, winning 12 games - and he still won't win the 2022 Coach of the Year award?

Why not? Because he won 12 games in 2021.

That - more than any particular knock against Dallas Cowboys coach McCarthy - is why the NFL Coach of the Year odds are against him.

Now, the fact that McCarthy is near the betting basement is something short of a positive sign. And of course the Sean Payton gossips are going to have a field day with it ...

Based off Caesars Sportsbook’s odds, its eight coaches listed as co-favorites each have a 6.25-percent chance of winning NFL Coach of the Year in the 2022-23 NFL season. If you were to wager $100 on any of them, you’d win $1,500 and return $1,600.

Or ... if you want to make $3,000, bet on McCarthy!

Or ... if you are a Cowboys fan, simply hope that Dallas wins something more important than individual trophies.
