Gary Andersen covering the spread

[Doctor Krieger]

I read on another board tonight that Andersen has covered the spread in 21 straight games (@UW and USU) dating back to the 2011 season...Absolutely crazy. Do you think any coach has covered as many games in a row as him?

I wonder if he knows this stat as well.

If so, not many...

I'm sensing a Pete Rose situation, although I have no problem betting on your own team.

Gene Stalling didn't cover at a very high percentage rate of the games he coached.

Another night road game ahead for Wisconsin. Should smash Illinois but crazy things can happen. Gotta cover like 10.5 to keep the streak alive.

Guess which defense is LAST in the nation in sacks and last in the nation in interceptions?

Illinois.

Safe to say that Stave will have tons of time to pick his receivers. Is Abbredaris officially playing? Since he is wearing a no hit jersey in practice are the coaches doing that to psyche Illinois?

I believe Ameer Abdullah rushed for 225 against Illinois.

If it is just 10.5, I bet Wisconsin.

The spread for the Illinois game has gone to 14 points... they better be ready to put up some numbers.

No doubt Coach Andersen has been coverlicious as of late, but he has not covered 21 straight. Utah State was 11-2 ATS last year including a non-cover of -38 in their 45-9 win to end the regular season against Idaho. They also didn't cover against Colorado State earlier in last year's season.

Utah State was also 6-7 ATS in 2011 includimg a bowl loss as a 2 point favorite and a non-cover in their final regular season game.

This year, Wisconsin pushed with Ohio State according to the consensus +7 line.

With all that said. He is a great coach and I wouldn't try to make a living betting against him right now. He has what I like to call spread awareness. A great trait that all boosters and fans enjoy.

The spread's got stink on it imo.
Maybe not so much at 14, but at 10.5 for sure.
Be careful.

I don't gamble, so I don't know what his spreads were like in Ute State. But it can't be hard to cover when you're running over cream puffs amiright?

Coach Helfrich has covered in his 1st 6 games as HC.

Think that falls this week. Line is up to -40 vs WSU.

I see a win by 4 or 4 and half tds.

 

[BigAppleBadger]

Think Gameday would let you bring a sign to the effect of "Coach H... please cover this week (-40), I need to pay rent!"
