The NFL season is two weeks away. Everyone is optimistic right now, but soon reality will separate the contenders from the pretenders.

As your excitement builds for giving your Sundays, and Monday and Thursday nights to the NFL, how confident should you be in your team’s head coach? Here’s our guide to each of the 32:

Arizona Cardinals

Coach: Bruce Arians

AKA: Coach Kangol
Nemesis: Mike Tomlin
Record with current team: 34-14 in three seasons

Odds Shark under/over win total: 10
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +600 (No.1 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +25000 (31 of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Extremely high

Summary: Nobody has done a better coaching job over the past four seasons than Arians. The two-time coach of the year is 43-17 during that span – which includes his 12-game stint as Indianapolis’ interim coach in 2012 when Chuck Pagano took a medical leave due to leukemia. Arians miraculously breathed life into the previously rotting corpse of Carson Palmer who enjoyed his highest QB rating of his career last season (104.6). The biggest concern is Arians’ health but assuming he’s good to go, the Cardinals are in excellent hands.

Atlanta Falcons

Coach: Dan Quinn

AKA: Coach Retired Pro Wrestler (that’s what he looks like)
Nemesis: Cam Newton
Record with current team: 8-8 in one season.

Odds Shark under/over win total: 7.5
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +7500 (29 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +4000 (20 out of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Tepid

Summary: Not sure what to make of Dan Quinn. The Falcons opened 5-0 before completely collapsing. They became just the seventh team since the 1970 merger to not make the playoff after winning their first five games. That’s embarrassing when you consider Atlanta lost six in a row at one point, falling to teams like Tampa Bay (twice) and San Francisco. At least the Falcons found a running back in Devonta Freeman (14 TDs) and Julio Jones remains awesome.

Lie-detector question: Have you considered cloning Julio Jones?

Baltimore Ravens

Coach: John Harbaugh

AKA: Coach The Sane Harbaugh Brother
Nemesis: Pittsburgh Steelers/ New England Patroits
Record with current team: 77-51 in eight seasons

Odds Shark under/over win total: 8
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +3000 (15 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +4000 (21 out of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Warm

Summary: Since winning the Super Bowl, Baltimore has finished in third place in the AFC North three straight times and won one playoff game. It’s not necessarily Harbaugh’s fault. The talent level has been depleted in recent seasons. Last year’s first-round draft choice Breshad Perriman has yet to play due to injuries. It also hasn’t helped that Joe Flacco hasn’t been anywhere close to the top quarterbacks in recent years.

Last year was Harbaugh’s first losing season. The Ravens plays in the brutal AFC North.

Buffalo Bills

Coach: Rex Ryan

AKA: Coach Loudmouth
Nemesis: Bill Belichick
Record with current team: 8-8 one season

Odds Shark under/over win total: 8
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +6500 (55 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +2500 (17 out of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Cooling rapidly

Summary: No head coach in NFL history has talked so much and accomplished so little (54-58 career record). Well, maybe his father Buddy Ryan (RIP) (55-55). It’s hard not to like Ryan because he’s a refreshing voice in a league full of say-nothing coaches. However, it would help his case a little if he would start winning again. After opening his career with back-to-back AFC championship game appearances, he hasn’t made the playoffs since 2010. It’s been a tough training camp for Buffalo with injuries to rookies Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland and the suspension of defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.

Lie detector question: No need. If you ask, Ryan will answer.

Carolina Panthers

Coach: Ron Rivera

AKA: Riverboat Ron
Nemesis: Von Miller
Record with current team: 47-32-1 in five seasons

Odds Shark under/over win total: 10.5
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +800 (4 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +10000 (28 out of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Lofty

Summary: Rivera has won the NFL’s coach of the year award twice in the past three seasons. That must come as a shock Michael Lombardi. In December 2012, NFL Network’s Lombardi reported that he expected Rivera to be fired.

Rivera’s record prior to that report: 13-19. Since the report: 34-13.

His staff delivered one of the most surprising 15-1 seasons in league history and the franchise’s second Super Bowl appearance. Despite losing arguably its second best offensive player in wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, Rivera, the Panthers were the NFL’s highest scoring team (31.2). Above all, Rivera’s smartest decision has been to let MVP Cam Newton be Cam Newton and ignore a lot of the noise.

Lie detector question: How annoyed were you when he found out that the Panthers were going to release cornerback Josh Norman?

Chicago Bears

Coach: John Fox

AKA: Coach Crash
Nemesis: Aaron Rodgers
Record with current team: 6-10 in one season.

Odds Shark under/over win total: 7.5
Odds Shark odds of winning coach of the year: +4500 (21 out of 32)
Lootmeister.com odds on being first coach fired: +2500 (16 out of 32)

Coaching confidence level: Low

Summary: John Fox is in an exclusive club. He, Dan Reeves, Mike Holmgren and Don Shula are the only coaches to lose Super Bowls with two different teams. Fox and Reeves are the only two to do so without ever winning the championship. Fox was fired/ resigned from Denver only to quickly resurface with Chicago. He improved the defense which went from a dumpster fire to merely average. But even with Jay Cutler playing reasonably well, the Bears have virtually no chance of winning the NFC North as long as Aaron Rodgers is still alive.

Lie-detector question: How much do you hate Gary Kubiak for winning the Super Bowl in his first year in Denver?
