Not counting the LSU days, as head coach of Alabama, Saban is 4-6 against the spread in Atlanta (title games only, not looking at season openers). That doesn't mean we're going to win (see SECC, 2021 edition), but it does mean that he has no particular secret sauce to outperform expectations in this locale/event. They have won a lot of games in Atlanta for the simple reason that they have been demonstrably better than their opponents before the ball was kicked.
