Saban’s absence is impacting the odds in Alabama-Georgia game and national titleThere are only a few football coaches who can move a line.
Nick Saban is one of them, according to SportsBetting.com. Over the last 20 hours, the online sportsbook has seen Alabama drop from a 6.5-point favorite to a 4-point favorite. “Some of the movement is due to an overreaction by the betting public, but we certainly don’t trust Steve Sarkisian standing on the sidelines and making decisions as much as we do Nick Saban, so there had to be an adjustment from our side,” Scott Cooley, the site’s Odds Consultant, said. The Crimson Tide’s national championship odds at SportsBetting.com moved from +275 to +350 following Saban’s positive test news. Cooley said that Dabo Swinney was the only other college coach that would impact the odds. In the NFL, Bill Belichick, Andy Reid and Sean Payton made the list. For the most part, quarterbacks are the only players on the field that can prompt a significant movement in the betting line so it’s interesting to see the set of coaches that are also influential in the world of oddsmaking.
