00:00Then finally, the guy that you should be betting on this week, by my estimation, that's Chargers

00:05head coach Jim Harbaugh. If you shop around, Jim Harbaugh right now is around 11-1 to win

00:11this award. I know BetMGM has him at a shorter price. I think BetMGM's price is much more

00:15accurate. He's like 6-1 there. Other domestic sportsbooks have him around like 10-1. There's

00:20an 11-1 out there. This past Monday night was really bad. They lose to the Arizona Cardinals.

00:25Obviously everybody knows it's a bad loss for the Chargers. They're sitting there now

00:27at 3-3, but this is an improvement market. The Chargers last year won five games. They've

00:34already won three. Listen to their schedule over the next few weeks for the Los Angeles

00:39Chargers. They're home against the Saints, who we said in the last segment, Spencer Rattler

00:42going to be starting at quarterback. Last time we saw him, chicken with his head cut

00:46off behind center. Then it's at the Cleveland Browns, which, I mean, that team, good defense,

00:51but what's that offense going to look like? Why can't the Chargers win that game? You're

00:55at Cleveland. They could win that game. Then you're hosting the Tennessee Titans who are

00:59now in fire sale mode after they've now realized that their quarterback, Will Levis, is not

01:03the quarterback of the future. So these next three weeks are big weeks for the Chargers.

01:08If they go 3-0 and it's Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers, sitting at 6-3, I think you're in

01:14really, really good to where Harbaugh is now being seen and being talked about as a coach

01:20of the year contender. If they go 3-0 over these next three weeks, they've already exceeded

01:24their win total from last year of five. That's how big of a jump that this could be for the

01:29Los Angeles Chargers. And based on what we talked about in the other guys, the Vikings

01:33are getting bet against, the commanders are getting bet against. Those are your two kind

01:37of top favorites in Kevin O'Connell and Dan Quinn. If both of those guys take L's and

01:42the Chargers win as a seven and a half point favorite at home against Spencer Rattler and

01:46the New Orleans Saints, I think you are immediately cooking with gas in the coach of the year

01:51market.

01:52Right now, after assessing the entire market and what the other schedules look like, Jim

01:56Harbaugh, 10-1, 11-1, that is your bet in NFL coach of the year right now because I

02:02do think there's the upside and he has the cachet to be a guy that everyone will talk

02:06about with this award down the stretch. So Harbaugh, for me, is the bet. I bet it this

02:11week. I encourage everyone else to go out there and bet it as well. And we'll see what

02:15happens with the games coming up a little bit later on this week.
