Bell is a safe bet. It's proven technology, so is less of a risk than a coaxial configuration from a contractor who has no experience of such a design. I see Bell doing well across both competitions and although there is a feeling that the U.S wants to keep two key defence contractors going I don't think that will matrelise here. I'm unconvinced Boeing made a real effort here and I think given their current issues they will concentrate on current product line up rather than opening themselves up for an embarrassing competition failure with lack of consumer confidence is a prime factor.
