Sean McDermott has done almost everything as Buffalo Bills head coach, except lead them to the biggest game of all. Buffalo Bills Super Bowl odds are looking strong again for this season, though, as the team aims for its fifth consecutive AFC East title and a first Super Bowl appearance since the 1993 season.
But weāre asking another question at OntarioBets.com: How have McDermottās Bills fared against the spread during his tenure as he enters his eighth season in charge?
The short answer is that he has done reasonably well ā but read on for more detail. These are the types of trends that customers at the best sports betting apps in Ontario might follow throughout the 2024-25 NFL season.
| Category | Percentage | Rank (Among Active Coaches) |
| Against The Spread (Overall) | 53.7% | 11th |
| Against The Spread (Home) | 52.0% | T-12th |
| Against The Spread (Away) | 56.0% | T-10th |
| Against The Spread (Favorite) | 55.0% | 7th |
| Against The Spread (Underdog) | 52.0% | T-15th |

Remember, you can find hundreds of wagers on NFL games each week, plus futures bets galore, at Ontario sportsbooks. However, this analysis is a feature of OntarioBets.com for you.
We looked at statistics on the nfeloapp.com website for how NFL coaches have done against the spread in several categories. We eliminated any coaches listed who are no longer in charge of their teams (in other words, the list does not account for coaches entering their first year in their current jobs) so there are 25 coaches in our comparison.
McDermott, 50, is ranked in the top half of the pack at No. 11 overall against the spread, with Buffalo covering 53.7% of the time during his tenure. See our Buffalo Bills betting guide for more details on how to wager on the team as we find out how his record of success holds up this season.
To get into more detail, we broke down NFL head coaches ATS in several subcategories. McDermott is in the top 15 in all of them, but where his teams have really exceled is in the favoriteās role. The Bills have covered as a favorite 55% of the time under McDermott, ranking him seventh among active coaches. The statistics include playoff games.
Conversely, the Bills have not fared as well as an underdog. In that scenario, McDermott is tied for 15th, but even then, he has a 52% success rate.
