Vrabel Among NFL’s Best In September
While the Titans’ run of success came to a brief halt in 2022, the same can’t be said of head coach Mike Vrabel’s success on the field during the NFL’s opening month of the regular season. That’s because the sixth-year head coach has the sixth-best winning percentage among qualified coaches, at 11-6, in the month of September. While you should never blindly bet these types of trends, it can be helpful if you use them intelligently on apps like FanDuel Sportsbook Tennessee.
Vrabel ranks just behind No. 5 John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens (33-17/66%) and ahead of coaches like Mike McCarthy of the Dallas Cowboys (34-19-1/63.89%), Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid (51-29/63.75%) and Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots (60-35/63.16)/Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks (36-21/63.16%) by that metric. Sean McVay of the L.A. Rams is the NFL’s current standard-bearer when it comes to September win percentage, with a record of 16-4 (80%), while Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers is No. 2 in the league, at 10-3/76.92%.
As for the 2023 season, oddsmakers at BetMGM Tennessee see Vrabel and the Titans as the No. 2 contender for the AFC South crown, at +300, ranking behind the Jacksonville Jaguars (-155). Vrabel will look to flip those odds, beginning with the Titans’ season opener against the Saints in New Orleans on Sept. 10.
