Nick Saban might be the greatest college football coach of all-time – or close to it – but do his teams cover the spread?
How do all the SEC 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 everything you need to know about all 14 current SEC head coaches and how they do against the lines.
One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current SEC teams. Two exceptions for the new guys – Billy Napier’s time at Louisiana and Brian Kelly’s era at Notre Dame are counted.
Who covers – and sometimes more importantly – who doesn’t?
