  • Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has covered in 59.3% of games as an underdog.
  • Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has covered the spread in 60% of all career games.
  • Lions head coach Dan Campbell owns a 62.5% ATS cover rate as a market favorite.

When evaluating NFL odds, bettors should remember head coaches perform differently when they’re a favorite vs. an underdog.

This can equip bettors with an advantage and allow them to take advantage of certain spreads.  

Here, I’ll break down each head coach’s record as a favorite and an underdog. All data comes courtesy of Bet Labs.
