In the current landscape of sports and sports betting in America, it seems like nearly everything has a bet or betting odds tied to it, especially when it comes to the NFL.

During the Super Bowl, many sportsbooks allow you to bet on the color of the Gatorade that will be poured on the head of the winning coach.

During the Super Bowl halftime show in 2021, sportsbooks allowed you to bet on the shoe color of the first person to appear on stage.

When it comes to Jim Harbaugh‘s coaching future, odds currently exist on where he will take his next job.

Harbaugh has been the coach for the University of Michigan football team since 2015, but many have sensed that he will be making a comeback to the NFL in 2023, as evidenced in the betting odds above.

The odds-on favorite among NFL teams is the Denver Broncos, closely followed by the Carolina Panthers.

Both of these teams currently have interim head coaches, as they both fired the head coach whom they began the 2022 NFL campaign with.

The fact that Harbaugh has been linked to Denver makes a lot of sense.

First off, Denver has Russell Wilson as their quarterback, a star player who hasn’t quite found his footing in Denver this season.

Wilson could use Harbaugh’s coaching expertise to his advantage, and hopefully regain the MVP-caliber of play that was displayed during his time in Seattle.

Denver’s defense is also one of the league’s best.

If Harbaugh joins the Broncos, they will instantly vault in position, and their odds to win the Super Bowl will increase significantly.
