5 NFL Head Coaches Who'll Help You Win Big Against the Spread

Leaders are important in every type of business. This is especially true in the National Football League.  Only 32 head coaching spots are available, and many go to absolute extremes to ensure success.

In the world of a professional sports bettor, it’s an angle that is often used to make a final determination on a side to wager on, but is something the public often discounts.

Many financial analysts will only invest in companies with top-flight management making the tough decisions.  It’s no different than guiding a team through camp and onto a 100-yard football field each week.

Let’s take a look at five current NFL coaches that can build your retirement.

Mike Tomlin

He was named the 16th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history on Jan. 22, 2007 and has made bettors happy in plenty of situations.

Don’t miss out on the possibility of getting points under his direction, as he’s compiled a solid 9-4 ATS (against the spread) mark as an underdog.

An opportunity presents itself to take advantage of this ATM machine in Week 1, as Pittsburgh is currently getting 2.5 points when they travel to Baltimore.

Mike Smith

Step inside an Atlanta Falcons locker room during a week with revenge on its mind and you could likely hear a pin drop.  Complete focus is on the minds of many.

Smith has accumulated an impressive 33-15 regular season SU record in his first three years on the sidelines, but bettors are more enthused about his 15-9 ATS mark in seeking revenge.

He’s likely stayed up at night thinking about the team’s 48-21 home playoff loss to the Packers last year and can’t wait for the rematch in Week 5.

Mike McCarthy

He has led the Packers to a Top 10 ranking in total offense each of his four seasons as the top dog in Green Bay, including two of the four highest-scoring teams in franchise history.

McCarthy is at his best when prepping for a division contest, as he’s compiled a 20-11 ATS mark versus NFC North competition.

Bettors will need to wait patiently until a Week 3 contest on the road against the Chicago Bears to start cashing checks.

Andy Reid

He will be entering his 20th year as an NFL coach and 13th as the head man in Philadelphia.

Reid is one of 11 coaches in NFL history to win 60 percent or more of his games with at least 200 games to draw from.

One of the best money-making trends in the league today is playing the Eagles out of the bye week, as the man with the mustache is 13-4 ATS in that situation.

The Dallas Cowboys are in trouble on October 30 when traveling into Lincoln Financial Field in Week 8.

Bill Belichick

Losses are going to happen in the NFL, and some individuals are better than others in handling the situation.

There’s no one better than three-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick, who is 31-18 ATS after tasting defeat.

New England rarely loses, but when they do, don’t miss out on getting down early on the Patriots the following week.
