for a pic from you,
and I felt coach the year odds. Again, for people that don't
know, you are the head Trader at points, Bettis, this is your
job, you set the lines for points bet. Thank God, you
didn't quit that job. Thank God you because you have young
children if Tina, yeah, safety, net. Want you to, you know, I'd
hate for your kids to
go hungry, be taken from you. You know, that it would be sad
story. Like the crimp. I see, right as here at the happy
hour. Absolutely.
We are. We are pro children. Staying with her parents. Just,
I want to be clear on that. Yes. Reverse position.
All right, so Coach of the Year odds, what are you thinking?
So this is my favorite. Bet,
your favorite old Futures, bet Futures bet for the NFL season
is Dan Campbell, the coach of the Detroit Lions win coach of
the year plus fourteen hundred.
And here's why. All right, it's similar to The Baker Mayfield
comeback player of the year which I like as well. Sure
the Lions right now A Plus 3/10
to make the playoffs.
You're telling me that if the Detroit Lions,
the most insipid franchise in North American Sports, if they
make the Playoffs. The Dan Campbell.
Who is beloved? Who wears t-shirts that say anti fragile
telling me mr. Anti fragile is not going to win coach of
the year. If he leaves the Lions to the playoffs and the thing with
this is that one of these lines is going to be better than last
year. I think they've got upside. They're
going to be healthier.
The offensive line is fine and when you keep Jared Goff klain,
he's fine. And so I think that there is definitely scope for
them to make significant Improvement. And the thing with
this award is that if you look at the previous winners,
go, Is like Kevin stefanski is my crabill last year's Matt
Nagy much of the sticker in. Now Chicago Bears fans,
Sean McVeigh and their quarterbacks were you know,
Jared Goff Michener Biscay Ryan Tannehill Baker. Mayfield coach
of the year, goes to coaches who don't get credit, stolen
by Ali quarterbacks. So I'm at will never win this award. He's
gonna have to go 17 and 0 to ever win this award Jared Goff
steals. No credit from Dan Campbell, so if the Lions do
well,
Campbell will get the credit he takes them to the
Laughs. I think he's like a 50/50 chance to win the award.
That would make him more in the plus 700 Ranch. Look, they
absolutely loved him in Detroit. I don't know if you
saw it was a video going around on Twitter
where where the you know the guy dancing Billie Jean right.
You know, they're
and and so the entire Detroit Lions
and I'm forgetting the player now, so I apologize. But
it was singing Billie Jean
in Hutchinson. Oh right. I was the rookie agent. Hutchinson
make sense, okay. Sorry. I'm just Just blanked on it for
a second but
you whatever you drink for an hour like you know what I mean,
you're an old man and you drink for an hour, like you forget
stuff. I
barely know my name.
Anyway, Aidan, Hutchinson seems Billie Jean, and the entire
the entire Detroit Lions team
starts clapping along, getting into it. And what I took from
that Jay other than was like a fun video or anything like
that. Dan Campbell has that team. So tight like they have
all bought in
like you know, we joke about B kneecaps and everything like
that, but that is a team like, it is hard to turn around.
Franchise that has had that much losing and they are all
bought in.
And so the concern is can they make the playoffs because it's
a tough division.
But I'm with you in that. He is a media darling.
They have all bought in they believe it there are. They
believe that there are some nice weapons there in Detroit.
And yes,
like the coach of the year award is always so scared. Like
it's an Arabic Belichick should have wanted every year for like
a decade and he never does because it's all about
expectations. And so if you're expecting To be good. No one
cares. Yes. Everyone thinks that Joe. Detroit Lions are
terrible. Yeah, I kind of like Doug Peterson. Also as a bet
here, but I agree with you because I do think the Jaguars
going to be a lot better. And so I think Peterson is
interesting to me, but
I like the Dan Campbell call. Yeah, it's a narrative driven
award and there's like a. Remember, the Titans type of
vibe? Yeah, this time. That's what this award is all about.
It's about narrative. And if he leads them with his anti
fragile shirt with the singing with everything, it's a story
and the right. Why I think that
He'll be right in position if they make the playoffs which
look they're probably not going to make the playoffs, but not
100% chance. They don't make the playoffs 20% chance by
the way, and even if they, you know, they can get to a twins,
like there's a shot that he gets.
He gets the award again at plus 1400. You like you like
the best?
