Bill Belichick's odds to join the Dallas Cowboys have gone up precipitously after an embarrassing playoff loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Belichick's odds to coach "any other NFL team" (the Cowboys included) shot up to +175 at DraftKings from its low of +800 earlier this week. That's the favorite on the odds board besides Belichick not coaching any NFL team (+150) when Week 1 commences next season.
Previously, the Falcons had been the substantial favorite at +150, with "no team" clocking in at +175.
Other teams besides the Cowboys that may encompass "any other NFL team" include the Jaguars or Seahawks, but both of those teams seem unlikely.
Several reports had indicated prior to the start of the playoffs that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy may be let go should Dallas exit the playoffs unceremoniously.
It can't get more unceremonious than a double-digit blowout in which the opposing team — a +7.5 underdog — is up 32 points late in the fourth quarter. The Packers had also been as long as +285 on the moneyline.
Teams that took a substantial dip on the Belichick odds board as a result of the Cowboys blowout include the Commanders, Chargers and Titans.
The favorite for the Commanders' job is Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, whose unique scheme has allowed a once offensively limited team to rank No. 8 in overall offense, according to EPA/play.
Meanwhile, the favorite for the Chargers job is Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
While Belichick is still the favorite to land the Falcons job, those odds are now lower and more competitive with the overall field.
