FOX Sports Betting Analyst Patrick Everson wrote about how bettors were all in on Deion Sanders' squad and tweeted about the monumental amount of tickets and money that poured in on the Buffaloes this week.

There's also one bettor who is elated that Colorado covered Saturday.

This gambler put down a huge (cue Dr. Evil voice) $1 million dollars on the Buffaloes to cover the 2.5-point spread against the Cornhuskers.
