Football Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - Morgantown, WV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bears linebacker J.T. Thomas was arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana after he was pulled over early Monday morning going the wrong way on a one-way street.
Thomas was stopped at 3:55 a.m. in Morgantown, according to West Virginia MetroNews Network.
The criminal complaint says Thomas pulled a bundle from his glove compartment after he was asked to provide his registration and it contained two plastic bags of a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana, according to the report.
The Bears released a statement later Monday saying they were aware of the incident and "are currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the arrest."
Thomas played college football in Morgantown for West Virginia but did not appear in a game for the Bears during his rookie season. He was in Morgantown for the weekend raising money for his foundation, West Virginia MetroNews Network reported.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
