NFL Betting Trends: Second Road Game

Everyone knows that teams usually play two consecutive road games about twice per season. Yet, no one knows how to handle this predictable trend.

The first thing you’ll notice is that the current head coaches in the NFL are 190-146 (56.6% ATS) in their second straight road contest. That percentage itself is what most bettors strive for.

Of course, it’s foolish to bet blindly on some trend. Some head coaches are more successful in their second away game than others. Check out the chart I compiled:
