It's hard to believe, but every week that passes feels like a week closer to the end of Bill Belichick's tenure at Foxboro.

Belichick and Robert Kraft have always had an up-and-down, love-hate relationship, and many are speculating a changing of the guard, and culture, could happen this offseason.

While it's highly unlikely Belichick is removed from his positing during this season, SportsBetting.ag has moved him down the “first coach fired” board to 20/1 (+2000) after starting the season with 50/1 odds.

Belichick's quarterback, Mac Jones, remains the favorite to be the first QB benched this season ("benched" means non-injury and must not start game after starting prior week).

But Desmond Ridder's rough few weeks have him as a close second behind Jones. Bryce Young has the third-best odds to be benched at 6/1.

Veterans Baker Mayfield and Russell Wilson also appear on the benching list. Some players such as Ryan Tannehill and Justin Fields were omitted from this updated market due to current injuries.

Benching and firing odds are subject to change and will be updated in real-time.

Mac Jones +150

Joshua Dobbs +600

Sam Howell +900
