Only asking this b/c the pats currently have covered every game they played. But has any team in college or pro ever covered every game they played that year? My guess would be no way but does anyone know?

[rm18]

I think Utah did Alex Smith's senior year

That was the team that came into my mind first as well Rm. They finished off that season with a blowout win against Pitt in that fiesta bowl too.

[biggamer3]

PAts will do that this year IMO

[rm18]

they can go undefeated, but impossible to cover all the spreads

[WestsidePete]

what about the 1995 Nebraska team??

[BigBollocks]

Green Bay 97 or 98 might have... Last year, Ohio State came close.

I know they didn't cover their last three against Illinois, Michigan, and Florida, but had OSU gone 10-0 against the spread prior to that last year? I still remember all those interception returns for touchdowns they had to cover against Penn State

[LLXC]

I remember UNLV covering a lot of basketball games...but a lot more BB games than football.

[Rollins08]

How about if a team has ever not covered in any game?

[HedgeHog]

Of the teams mentioned, '95 Nebraska came the closest with 1 spread loss. In their fifth game, as a 28.5 fav over Wash St, they only won by 14. 2003 Utah had 2 spread losses.

[Al Masters]

In the season that that the bears won the super bowl,1986.

The pats covered 11 straight.

[LT Profits]

None of the teams mentioned in this thread so far did it. My guess would be that NO ONE has ever gone either undefeated or winless ATS for an entire season.

[Doc JS]

Not impossible, but certainly a statistical improbability.

[HedgeHog]

Not impossible, but certainly a statistical improbability.

To go 19-0 ATS (regular season and playoffs) would be 1 chance in 524,288 or roughly 1/2 Million to 1.

[Tchocky]

I remember Hubie Smith saying his Knicks usually covered.

[WestsidePete]

what about the TB Bucs first football season for zero covers...they lost every game..did they cover any game ??

1976 Buccaneers (0-14)
The Bucs' debut season was football's equivalent of the 1962 Mets -- but without the wit of Casey Stengel to make things a bit more entertaining. The Bucs were shut out five times and averaged fewer than nine points per game. Their defense was almost as futile, and the Bucs' margin of defeat was 20 points per game. Tampa Bay's quarterback, Steve Spurrier, threw only seven touchdown passes all season. His longest completion was 38 yards.

[HedgeHog]

'76 TB had some covers. Perhaps the Bucs best shot at a win that year was when they lost 23-20 at home vs Miami (TB was a 14-point dog).

Of the teams mentioned, '95 Nebraska came the closest with 1 spread loss. In their fifth game, as a 28.5 fav over Wash St, they only won by 14. 2003 Utah had 2 spread losses.

2004 Utah was undefeated against the spread
