I don't have the exact number, but I'm pretty sure it is close to 85% of games where the spread does not matter......

lets not be to suprised, when dogs win it is a 100% cover. dogs have been all over the win column. correct me if i'm wrong (and thats plenty often) but the only time the spread doesn't matter is when the dog wins!

 

[phoenix566]

If the favorite wins by 30 and the spread is say 6.5, then the spread didn't matter.

It is probably better phrased as "85% of the time the winner of the game also covers the spread"

I don't know if it's just me ,but: Ya if all the dogs are winning easy,what the hell does the spread have to do with anything?? This is redundant at best.
Spanky...Luck to all...
