Category: Coach Hot Seat

How good are all of the Big Ten head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t.

How do all of the Big Ten head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total?

If you like to invest, here’s the breakdown of all 14 Big Ten head coaches – there wasn’t any turnover this year with all 14 returning. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current Big Ten teams.

Who covers – and sometimes more importantly – who doesn’t?
