"The New York Giants were immediately thrust into the sports betting spotlight when they fired head coach Brian Daboll earlier this week. Interim coach Mike Kafka steps in to fill the void, at least until the end of the 2025 season. The first-time NFL sideline boss will have a seven-game trial to impress the decision makers in the Giants front office."
"His odds have shifted from +1600 to +750 since the market opened yesterday pic.twitter.com/LbbtMp2YPs DraftKings Sportsbook (@DKSportsbook) November 12, 2025 Unsurprisingly, Kafka is not the favorite to receive the job following the current NFL campaign. He places fifth at +900 odds, but that could be improved if he has success over the next two months. Still, at this time, Kafka is looking upwards at a few big-name hires who could be tapped to lead the Giants into the 2026 NFL season."
"Does McCarthy come back to the NFC East? The former coach of the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy is currently the odds-on leader to claim the Giants (potential) head coaching vacancy at +700. The 18-year NFL head coach owns a 174-112-2 record in 288 regular season games. The 62-year-old coach owns an 11-11 record in the postseason, including a win at Super XLV for his only World Championship."
The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll and installed interim coach Mike Kafka through the end of the 2025 season. Kafka, a first-time NFL sideline boss, will have a seven-game trial to prove himself to the front office. General manager Joe Schoen faces pressure and a high-profile head-coaching hire could influence his standing. DraftKings Sportsbook released a top-10 list of candidates and showed Bill Belichick’s odds moving from +1600 to +750, making him a near-favorite. Kafka sits fifth at +900 but can improve with late-season success. Mike McCarthy emerged as another leading candidate with a +700 listing and an 18-year head-coaching record.
