The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated themselves to serious AFC contenders with a hard-fought 27-20 loss at Kansas City in the divisional round of the 2022 playoffs.Twenty games and 11 losses later, Doug Pederson has jumped to the front of the line as the favorite to be the first NFL head coach fired this season. Pederson was +400 at SportsBetting.ag before Monday night’s abysmal 47-10 loss at Buffalo.With the Jaguars now 0-3 and having dropped eight of their past nine overall, Pederson is now the overwhelming “favorite” at +150. Jacksonville has now been outscored 85-40 this season as it prepares to open its AFC South slate at Houston this week followed by a home game against Indianapolis in Week 5.A source told the Florida Times-Union that Jaguars owner Shad Khan was “angrier than I have ever seen” following the Bills game. “He is usually a reserved, kind gentleman. Not tonight.”Pederson vaulted ahead of Dallas’ Mike McCarthy, who was the +300 favorite earlier Monday but shifted to +450 after the Jaguars’ blowout loss.FIRST NFL COACH FIRED ODDS*Doug Pederson, Jaguars (+150)Mike McCarthy, Cowboys (+450)Brian Daboll, Giants (+800)Zac Taylor, Bengals (+900)Matt Eberflus, Bears (+1000)Kevin Stefanski, Browns (+1000)Antonio Pierce, Raiders (+1200)Nick Sirianni, Eagles (+1400)Dennis Allen, Saints (+1400)Robert Saleh, Jets (+2500)Todd Bowles, Buccaneers (+2500)Dan Quinn, Commanders (+2800)Dave Canales, Panthers (+3300)Kevin O’Connell, Vikings (+4000)Jonathan Gannon, Cardinals (+5000)Sean Payton, Broncos (+5000)Sean McVay, Rams (+6600)
