Only the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans attracted more action Sunday.

David Payne Purdum of ESPN.com reports:

On Sunday, a line of bettors 100 or so deep stretched all the way to the back of the SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas. On Saturday, every seat was taken at the South Point sportsbook as LSU and Alabama collided in a classic. Bookmaking in Las Vegas, at least for now, is booming.

"The [LSU-Alabama] game was a loser," Caesars Sportsbook senior oddsmaker Alan Berg told ESPN. "We got beat up on straight bets. A high percentage of them were LSU money lines.

"While we lost on that game," Berg added, "we won more on Wyoming-Boise State than we lost on LSU."

Payne-Purdue also revealed that prior to kickoff at an MGM sportsbook in Nevada, a bettor placed a $40,000 money-line bet on Alabama (-200). It was the largest bet on the game at MGM sportsbooks.
