Jim Harbaugh Chargers Betting Impact As Head Coach
  • Jim Harbaugh is the head coach for the Los Angeles Chargers.
  • Past Chargers odds and futures bets will likely shorten as a result.

NEW YORK – Per Adam Schefter, Jim Harbaugh accepted a position as the new head coach for the LA Chargers. Joining the AFC West, Harbaugh reenters the NFL to give legal NFL betting sites serious consideration for the Chargers 2024 futures odds.

Harbaugh and the Chargers will have to face Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes (at least) twice a year. This is a position where LA has never been the favorite against Mahomes.

With the underdog status, the Chargers have had their struggles, having lost the last five games against KC, failing to cover in three.

Going under their season win total in five straight years, the Chargers hope Harbaugh can break this streak and hit a win total projection of 8.5 games.

Chargers Regular Season Win Total Projection

  • 2023: 9.5 (Under)
  • 2022: 10.5 (Under)
  • 2021: 9.5 (Under)
  • 2020: 8.0 (Under)

While Harbaugh is decorated, one of the accolades he doesn’t have is a Super Bowl championship. The Chargers Super Bowl odds will likely be a strong play early on into next season due the media influence. So, legal sports betting sites in the US may set Harbaugh’s odds to win a Super Bowl with the Chargers at +2200.

Early Super Bowl odds for the Chargers to win in 2025 (Super Bowl 59) were +3000 at time of writing.

Past Chargers Super Bowl Odds (During Preseason)

  • 2023: +2500
  • 2022: +1400
  • 2021: +3000
  • 2020: +6000

Moving The Coaching Carousel

With the announcement official, the Chargers locked in Harbaugh before he even visited the Atlanta Falcons. As Bill Belichick has interviewed twice, the odds on the Falcons next head coach may be pulled from sportsbooks. Belichick was around +150 to becomes the Falcons next coach. Falling into favorite status will be the adjustment, if NFL sportsbooks relist those lines again.

Aside from the NFL, the odds for Michigan football’s next head coach will open up at college football sportsbooks that take advantage.
