Not the biggest ever but I think that Stanford/USC was about -43 with Stanford winning outright.

Oklahoma in 1985 or give or take a year or 2.

They were -76

I remember Nebraska favored by the same number against Pacific.....

also Im not sure of the year, but early to mid 90's.....Florida State was -71 over Cincinnati.....I think Cincy covered....it was like 66-7 or something like that....

Craziest thing I ever saw regarding a point spread was before the Hollyfield/Lewis fight in the 90's....just happened to be checking out some lines a few minutes before the fight. The odds for a draw dropped from like 1500/1 to 1000/1 about 5 minutes before the fight and you guessed it....the fight ended in a draw. Thought that was fishy as hell and still kicking myself for not throwing down something like $10 on that play.

2010 Olando Magic at Atlanta Hawks playoff game. Orlando -2.5. Some crazy shit after they beat them by 44 in game one and 17 in game 2. Now that is some crazy HCA. Had to be the easiest series in basketball history. I think if you took Orlando 1st half 2nd half and game you won every bet in the 4 game series.

Actually, ATL was up at the half in game 2.

That 2nd half wager vs ATL was the gravy of the 2010 NBA playoffs.

About 2 years ago Florida was playing The Citadel. It was either -61 or -63, I can't remember, I think that was the weekend I was in a wedding or something, but I think it was -63 and Florida covered.

this year, Ohio St was giving 44 to New Mexico with and O/U of 48. Playing both New Mexico and the over looks like a safe way to take a big chance. If NM scores a FG, can't lose both. Far greater chance to win both.

Final score? 45-0

:ohno:

Totally remember this game. Think I just took the dog, but was so tempted to play both. What a ridiculous final score !

That Patriots/Ravens game a few years back when the Patriots went 18-1. Was crazy that any NFL would lay another 21.5 points!

...and I stupidly bet the Patriots 'cause I'm a moron...

this year in Nov will be an insane spread with Georgia State at Alabama. possibly the #1 team in FBS vs the very worst team in FCS.

line maybe -65?

there were a lot of crazy lines that year. I was riding the Pats until they made me stop, which was either just before or just after the Raven's game.
