According to the oddsmakers and many other sources, Sherrone Moore is expected to succeed Jim Harbaugh as the next head coach of Michigan football. The online sportsbook, SportsBetting listed Moore as the favorite out of a list of 30 potential candidates, opening with odds of -300. However, after receiving multiple bets in the last two hours, Moore’s odds have shifted to -700, indicating that there is an 87.5% chance that he will secure the position. Although there are several strong candidates on the list, it seems that Moore is the frontrunner. Still, anything can happen, so we’ll have to wait and see.
This morning, oddsmakers adjusted and reopened odds for the five remaining NFL head coach vacancies. Although Brian Callahan was reported to have moved to the Titans last night, the markets for the Chargers and Falcons closed within 30 minutes of offering the new odds.
SportsBetting had opened Bill Belichick -300 for the Atlanta job, while Jim Harbaugh had -400 odds for the Chargers position. Both odds jumped to -500, and the sportsbook confirmed that it was still accepting action on both at those numbers.
As of now, the Commanders, Panthers, and Seahawks coaching odds are the only markets remaining. Additionally, there are early Super Bowl LVIV odds available. Surprisingly, the two favorites for this year’s title game are also the favorites for 2025.
Just when we had finished processing the shock of Seattle’s announcement that Pete Carrol would not return as head coach next season, the bomb dropped.
Nick Saban is retiring from his post at Alabama.
Goodness gracious, let’s hope we don’t see any Bill Belichick news today or the football coaching chasm might implode.
SportsBettingquickly set odds for both vacancies in the collegiate and NFL ranks.
There are 22 names on the Seahawks list (although the last two are just for fun), led by former Seahawks defensive coordinator and the mastermind behind the Legion of Boom, Dan Quinn.
A whopping 36 candidates and their respective odds adorn the Alabama next coach list.
Saban disciples Dan Lanning and Lane Kiffin have the best and third-best odds, respectively, while former Alabama player and coach Dabo Swinney is second on the board.
Oh, and to get a Harbaugh mention in here it’s worth noting that his odds to leave the NCAA for the NFL continue to improve (NFL opened -150 last week).

The Browns-Texans game was the first to open a few hours ago, and Cleveland came out as a 2-point favorite but the spread quickly moved to -2.5. Just a few minutes later, it was back to -2, and currently we’re down to -1.5 with the majority of the early wagering on Houston at SportsBetting
The Eagles-Bucs matchup was next and Philadelphia surfaced as a 2-point favorite with a total of 41.5. The spread has shifted to -2.5, currently, and with nothing but OVER money coming in, the game total has ballooned to 45.
The Packers-Cowboys contest was the third betting line to go up. Dallas was installed as a 7.5-point favorite, but the underdog bettors quickly pounced and moved that numbers to -7. The total went from 48.5 to 49.
Finally, the Rams-Lions (Stafford Bowl) popped on the board with Detroit set as a 2.5-point favorite. The spread has crossed over the key number and is now at -3.5. The game total was bet up quickly from 47 to 51, currently.

According to SportsBetting, a non-transfer player (Jalen Milroe) is leading the pack as the favorite, but it’s a quarterback’s world as the first 21 players on the list are all QBs. You’ll have to scroll down to the 50/1 mark to find non-QBs like Travis Hunter and Trevor Etienne.
The top three players with the best odds to win the trophy are quarterbacks returning to their teams from the current season (although Ewers could still declare). But, don’t overlook the two transfer portal stars, Dillon Gabriel and Will Howard, who round out the top five.
