Coaches with Extra Time to Prepare: Complete List
Since my last post, “Betting on teams with extra time to prepare”, my database has grown. I mined a little more data and pulled in the remaining coaches with extra time to prepare for the remainder of the FBS schools. I’ve posted the complete list of coaches below.
Assuming -110 odds, each of the first 51 coaches has been profitable when having extra time to prepare. Something ironic I found was that while Mike London has had great success with extra time to prepare going 10-1 ATS, in all other games, he is an abysmal 9-27 ATS. Charlie Weis is 7-12 ATS with extra time to prepare.
Just a reminder futility can still net you $2 million a year through 2015 to not coach Notre Dame. He’s the best.

I wouldn’t just blindly bet/fade one of these head coaches based just on this chart, but I do think it supports the thought that teams do seem to have success ATS with extra time to prepare (52.68% factoring in each coach above).
But since I know how the gambling brain works and realize you’re already about to search the Ohio State University 2014 football schedule…
- 9/27 – Home game vs Cincinnati Bearcats (previous game two weeks prior)
- 10/18 – Home game vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights (previous game two weeks prior)
Some more tidbits on Urban Meyer:
- Home ATS record: 49-30
- Non conference ATS record (last 10 seasons): 28-11
- Conference ATS record (last 10 seasons): 39-34
So when do game of the year lines come out again???

great to see this about coaches and extra time but to help your readers ,you should have put the team next to the coach to help readres as to who is coaching who eachman enos or quinns of the wolrd are coaching
Thanks for idea. Added in teams to the post.
Looks like if you go by bye weeks, Oklahoma has a pretty brutal schedule this season. They face 4 teams with extra time to prepare. More than anybody in the Big 12. And 3 of those opponents are among the toughest in the Big 12 (OSU, Tech, KSU).
Are you including the opening games to a season in those statistics? Personally I would not because the opening is game is a whole different situation.
