Belichick, Mccarthy favoured to win NFL Coach of the Year

-

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a favourite to win his fourth NFL Coach of the Year honour in the eyes of two sportsbook­s.

Belichick, who won the award in 2003, 2007 and 2010, joined Dallas Cowboys coach Mike Mccarthy at + 1200 to win the award, per Fanduel.

The six- time Super Bowl- winning coach was listed at + 1000 to win the award by Draftkings, ahead of both Mccarthy (+ 1400) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians (+1400).

Arians, who has Belichick’s former quarterbac­k Tom Brady under centre for the Bucs this season, joined Indianapol­is Colts coach Frank Reich in being listed at +1400 by Fanduel.

Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury was listed at + 1800 by Fanduel, followed by Sean Mcdermott ( Buffalo Bills), Kevin Stefanski ( Cleveland Browns), Kyle Shanahan ( San Francisco 49ers) and Mike Vrabel ( Tennessee Titans) — all at +2000.

Shanahan was given + 1600 odds by Draftkings, with Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid joining Kingsbury, Mcdermott, Reich, Vrabel and Stefanski at +2000.

If you’re looking for a longshot, Fanduel listed

Jacksonvil­le coach Doug Marrone at + 5000. DraftKings had the Jaguars coach accompanyi­ng Matt Patricia (Detroit), Bill O’brien (Houston Texans) and Adam Gase (New York Jets) at +5000.

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge has hired one of his former players as an offensive quality- control coach, per multiple outlets.

Nick Williams, a wide receiver at Alabama when

Judge was the Crimson Tide’s special teams assistant, appeared to confirm the news by changing his Twitter profile picture to a Giants logo on Sunday.

Williams spent the last three seasons as the wide receivers coach at Southern Illinois. His playing career at Alabama ( 2009-12) overlapped Judge’s tenure (200911) on Nick Saban’s staff and included three national championsh­ips.

He is the son of former Michigan State head coach Bobby Williams.
