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.

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?
