I'm not a bettor, but if I were, I'd take the Gators and -3!

The Quad The New York Times College Sports Blog December 7, 2008, 9:02 pm Florida vs. Oklahoma: Who Is Favored? By Pete Thamel <http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/author/pete-thamel/> ATLANTA - Oklahoma and Florida don't play for more than a month, but at least one early betting line is in. The sports analyst Danny Sheridan said in a telephone interview on Sunday night that he'd make Florida a 3-point favorite in the national title game matchup with Oklahoma. He said that he'd set the over-under in the game at 72. Sheridan, who sets lines for USA Today, also passed along these impressive statistics. As dominant as both teams have been on the field this year, they've been equally impressive for bettors. Florida is 10-1 against the line this year. (The Gators' game against The Citadel didn't have a spread.) Oklahoma is 10-2. When setting lines, Sheridan stresses that he's not predicting the winner. He's simply figuring the perception of the game with the betting public. "This will be one of the most bet games in history," Sheridan said. "It will do well in the ratings and it will do well in the betting. That's no surprise, as they're two teams that can score." Is 3 points too many or too few? Can a national title game really have more than 72 points?
