The Georgia Bulldogs are the 2021 CFB champs. However, they weren't the best bet against the spread.
That badge of honor belonged to the Michigan Wolverines, who paced the nation with an 11-3 clip in head coach Jim Harbaugh's best year to date.
On the contrary, the worst team against the spread were the New Mexico Lobos, who didn't cover a game until Week 8.
The biggest disappointment by a mile were the Indiana Hoosiers. Tom Allen's club went 2-10 ATS in 2021 after leading the country in cover rate (87.5%) the year prior.
