The proliferation of the internet certainly allows anyone to conjure up a boat load of stats when looking for opportunities to bet profitably on College Football. In fact, there is so much information out there that if you don't spend a great deal of time analyzing the data it could easily cost you money by jumping on the wrong trend. In handicapping College Football one of the trends/angles that I keep in my toolbox is how effective coaches are ATS. I do this because, unlike the NFL, players can be motivated to perform more readily by an effective coach and thus produce some excellent profit opportunities. Today's report looks at the coaches of the SEC in both favorable and unfavorable ATS roles. I did not include any trends that did not have at least 9 results as, in my experience, anything less than that is not a reliable enough angle/trend to hang you betting hat on.
