Savannah State getting 70 1/2 points (largest spread ever)

OK, so you're planning to plop down a few bucks on a college football game -- legally, of course -- and trying to decide whether to stick with the favorite or take the points.

Well, here's a tough one.

If you go with No. 6 Florida State in Saturday's game against lowly Savannah State, you'll be starting with a 70½-point deficit.

That's right, SEVENTY AND A HALF!

"Without a doubt," said Mike Colbert, vice president of risk management for Las Vegas-based Cantor Gaming, "this is the biggest line I've put up in 10 years doing this."

No kidding. From all indications, this is largest point spread ever for a Division I game.

The Cowboys did everything they could to not run up the score. But they still beat the spread.

That may determine whether the spread is beat or not.

Maybe the boyz will come from Diamond Jaimie's bank. Forget Las Vegas. Does anybody know on which team Wall Street has put our money?

But it sure was fishy how the game was ended early. FSU would have covered had it been a full game.
