Whether you need help with that mortgage payment, want to buy your significant other some expensive jewels, or just want to pay off your student loans, there's one surefire way to make money in today's economy:
Bet on Tom Herman as an underdog.
The Houston head coach scored his second win of the season as an underdog with a 36-10 thrashing of 14.5-point favorite Louisville on Thursday night.
Dating back to his tenure as offensive coordinator of Ohio State, Herman has now won 11 straight games when entering as the underdog.
| Year | Team (Spread) | Opponent | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Ohio State (+2) | Michigan State | 17-16 |
| 2012 | Ohio State (+1) | Wisconsin | 21-14 |
| 2014 | Ohio State (+4) | Michigan State | 49-37 |
| 2014 | Ohio State (+4) | Wisconson | 59-0 |
| 2014 | Ohio State (+7.5) | Alabama | 42-35 |
| 2014 | Ohio State (+6) | Oregon | 42-20 |
| 2015 | Houston (+13.5) | Louisville | 34-31 |
| 2015 | Houston (+1.5) | Navy | 52-31 |
| 2015 | Houston (+7.5) | Florida State | 38-24 |
| 2016 | Houston (+13) | Oklahoma | 33-23 |
| 2016 | Houston (+14.5) | Louisville | 36-10 |
These are all straight-out wins, not just a loss that covers the spread. For those unfamiliar with betting, THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
Combining the point spread of his five wins with Houston when the opposition was favored, the Cougars entered those contests as a 50-point underdog total. The results from those five games is in favor of Herman by an absurd 193-119 scoreline.
Results like that show why he's the most coveted name on the coaching market as the offseason looms.
