Do you remember this? How old are you

[dante1]

because this happened a very long time ago. I was still booking and I remember it clearly, that is unless it is a dream. lol

Can't give you a number but I would say it was at least 25 to 30 years ago. It was a full schedule of NFL games, so it had to be at least 8 or 9 games or maybe more. Can't remember that for sure. This day the entire card was covered by the dogs. Every single game. I don't remember this happening with a full schedule of NFL games more than this one time. But, it did happen. Do any of you remember? If you do, refresh my memory on the year. Because if you witnessed it I am sure you remember it. And am I wrong? Was there another time when every NFL dog covered. Now, obviously I don't mean when it was a Thanksgiving day or another special day like that. Full schedule.

Anybody?

8-9 games is not that hard for all dogs covering, is it?

Well, I have been around a long time and I only remember it happening once. I said 8 or 9 just to be careful, all I know for sure is it was a full schedule. Yep, I only remember it happening once. And I never ever saw a full schedule when all the chalk covered.

I ran football pools at work in the late 80's. Nfl against the spread. One individual would always circle all the underdogs and won his share of weekly pots. One week he was perfect every game was a winner. So it has happened! It happened sometime between 1988 to 1993.
As I think back in time I willing to bet it was 1991

I think you are mistaken, especially if you mean every bowl game. I think I would wager 100 points to your 5 that this is not true. How many bowl games we talking here? Twenty or more, never happened.

That time frame seems very possible. Yes, it did happen I am sure of it. Because I remember marveling at the scores and couldn't believe it. That is when I decided to give pro dogs more weight than favorites. The only time I play against a pro dog is when the dog looks like a great play, that is when they lose. lol
Naturally, not always but it seems like a general rule. The dogs that don't look like they have a chance, they are the dogs I like.

I worked in a lab at that time. One of the chemists started playing two sheets because another chemist won every game one week and was taking shit about how good he was. So the all dog week did happen. It could have been 1989, but more likely 1990 or 1991. 1992 is also possible. 1993 the lab moved so it wasn't any time after that.

In 1985, the NFL home teams covered in 58% of the games.

...who gives a shit about stuff like this?
