Las Vegas - If you're wondering why the line on the Rockets/Thunder game is dropping and has even been taken off the board at some sportsbooks, it's James Harden. Apparently, The Beard could miss season opener if video of him allegedly at strip club is recent enough to violate COVID-19 rules. Not sure if he was masked or maskless? Gotta study that video for another few hours!

Did you hear about the guy in New Jersey who collected $12,000 and change on a $100 bet? Before the NFL season started, FanDuel offered odds on when a team would grab their first win of the year. A bettor threw down a full Benjamin on the Jets to win their first game in Week 15 against the Rams at 120-1. So, I have a few questions.

Who is this guy/gal and does he/she want a job at America's Line???

You know that I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but did this actually happen???

Not quite as bizarre as the 'Elvis is alive and living in Michigan' theory, but C'MON. Are we buying this???NOT shooting poison arrows, just asking for a friend. This guy, or gal, looks at the Jets schedule and says, YEA, they're absolutely gonna lose their first 13 games. Then they're gonna travel to Los Angeles as a double digit underdog and beat the FIRST PLACE Rams. C'MON MAN! Talk about NOSTRADAMUS!!! Yell at me and lemme know what you're thinking. As always, it's ben@americasline.com.

Looking at the New Orleans Bowl and not really interested because of too many injuries and question marks. Georgia Southern is the favorite, but the starting QB, Shai Werts, is listed as questionable/doubtful with a shoulder injury. And he's their LEADING rusher. The backup QB, Justin Tomlin, is gone, so the Eagles might be down to the third-string QB, Miller Mosley. Louisiana Tech has pitch & catch problems as well. QB Luke Anthony is gone, and the leading WR, Adrian Hardy, is opting out to prepare for the NFL draft. Gimme a hard pass.

In the Montgomery Bowl between Memphis and Florida Atlantic, we're thinking about a VERY light Leaning Tower of Pisa to the Tigers and QB Brady White. These are the minor bowl games, and unless you've been following these teams all year long, keep your wager MINOR!
