We learn from Pro Football Weekly that some of you might be able to bet the Florida Gators as a -62 point favorite against Charleston Southern after all.  You might have to go to Vegas though.

Mike Wilkening of Pro Football Weekly writes:

"Lucky's Race and Sports Book, which operates 12 sportsbooks in Nevada, including two in Las Vegas, has installed Florida as 62-point favorites, Dan Shapiro, the director of marketing for Brandywine Bookmaking LLC, the company's oddsmaking arm, told me Wednesday night. And get this: Florida opened as a 60-point favorite at Lucky's before the line moved to 62.

"It's safe to say that this is one of the biggest pointspreads in college football history, and it could be the biggest, though that's unclear of this writing. I do know this: We have lines on college games going back to 1990 thanks to our library of Jim Feist's Football Workbooks, and anything above 50 points is very rare.

"I have no insight into Charleston Southern, and everyone knows Florida is loaded, so a Gators' rout seemed assured. But for those betting the Gators, you'll need no ordinary rout to cash."

Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com says:  "A lot of people are talking about the Gators line but few can bet it online."

Wilkening also offered up this piece of trivia:

"Florida State was a 50-point favorite against Cincinnati in 1990; the Seminoles scored 70, but the Bearcats managed 21 of their own, giving Florida State backers a special type of heartburn."

Yeah that one had to have hurt!
