The extremes, computed rather than remembered
Every entry below is the top row of a real query over ingested charting data — nothing is hand-picked or copied from a list. Each record names the table it came from and the exact seasons that were searched, because a record only means as much as its window.

Has anyone ever gone clean on chalk?
Take the simplest possible card: every week, pick every single favourite. No cleverness, no contrarian angle, just the closing price. Across 337 full regular-season weeks (2006–2025) and 5,057 priced games, here is how that card has actually finished.
Perfect weeks
0
Not once in 337 weeks has every favourite won.
Favourite hit rate
66.3%
3,353 of 5,057 favourites won outright — good, and nowhere near good enough.
One game short
6
6 weeks missed by exactly one result, and 24 more missed by two.
This is not bad luck. Adding up each week's own market-implied chance of a sweep, the books collectively expected about 0.93 perfect weeks over that entire span — and the friendliest week ever priced still only gave chalk a 3.1% shot. A perfect week is not a thing you are unlucky to have missed. It is a thing the sport has essentially never offered.
The 6 weeks that got within one game
Every one of these has a single named culprit — the one favourite that didn't hold.

Source: situational_games, de-vigged closing lines (2006–2025). A "week" here is a regular-season week with at least 10 priced games, so short bye-heavy slates can't sneak in as an easy sweep. Think you'd have called one? Try a real past week →
Windows differ by source and that matters: play-by-play charting covers 2020 on, Next Gen Stats 2016 on, PFR advanced charting 2018 on, and closing-line history 2006 on. A "record" here is the best inside that window, not the best in league history. How these numbers are built →
