The Detroit Lions are arguably the best team in football right now.
They are leading the NFC and the NFC North at 9-1 as head coach Dan Campbell has completely turned the ship around in the Motor City.
Now, because of Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers losing on the road to the 3-8 Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, Campbell is the favorite to win Coach of the Year.
According to ESPN BET, Campbell is the favorite to win the award at +275.

After what Campbell has done over the last couple of seasons, he might have a case for why he should have already won the award.
But after making the NFC Championship Game last season, this Lions team looks to be even better.
They look like a Super Bowl team, thanks to how they play week in and week out.
Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff looks like an MVP as he continues to utilize All-Pro pass-catcher Amon-Ra St. Brown and Co.
Additionally, the running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs could be the best in the league.
It helps when you have an elite offensive line.
Defensively, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn leads a gritty unit that has overcome the loss of star edge-rusher Aidan Hutchinson.
This week, the Lions are set to travel to face the Indianapolis Colts in Indy this Sunday afternoon.
Another big win and the Coach of the Year odds will undoubtedly continue to skyrocket for Dan Campbell.
