Norm's Late Thoughts
I hate taking an NFC team against an AFC team but I like Green Bay to cover vs Pittsburgh
December 13, 2009
Very Strong
· None
Strong
· Cincinnati plus the points vs Minnesota
· Denver plus the points vs Indy
Those both agree with selections I posted on Friday
Regular
· NY Giants pk vs Philly
· KC minus the point vs Buffalo
· Tampa Bay plus the points vs NY Jets
· Houston minus the points vs Seattle
· San Diego plus the points vs Dallas
The Kansas City and Tampa selections disagree with selections I posted on Friday…For me I’m going to stick with my selections but I’ll probably make them very light plays.
The Houston and San Diego plays agree with selections I posted on Friday
Late Thoughts
I like NY Jets/Tampa to go UNDER. With Clemens starting at QB for the Jets, they will run the ball and play defense. Tampa must protect their unraveling rookie QB…Looks like a pretty low scoring game to me.

November 29, 2009
Late NFL Selections from Handicappers Around the Nation
Strong Plays
Tennessee minus the points vs Arizona
Regular Plays
Bears plus the points vs Vikings
Jacksonville plus the points vs San Francisco
There is also general agreement on:

If you can get Houston on the money line I think you can get some good value and have a solid chance to cash in.
November 28, 2009

This disagrees with a selection that I made so this is a game that I’m going to stay away from this one
Regular Plays

· Georgia plus the points vs Ga Tech
· UCLA plus the points vs USC
There is some agreement out there with our selections on: Arkansas and Troy
There is also some disagreement on our BYU selection but I am going to stay with it.

· None
Strong Play
· Pittsburgh minus the points vs KC
Regular
· Oakland plus the points vs Cincy
· St. Louis plus the points vs Arizona
· San Francisco plus the points vs Green Bay
· Washington plus the points vs Dallas
The last two (SF and Wash) disagree with selections that we’ve already posted…I do respect the handicappers who like these games but I will still go lightly with my thoughts that Green Bay and Dallas will cover.
My Late Thoughts
· Baltimore plus the points vs Indy
Indy won a huge game last week. I just don’t know if they can get themselves back up for Baltimore here. Indy is still very weak in the secondary and Baltimore looks rejuvenated in the last few weeks.
November 21, 2009
Very Strong Play
LSU plus the points vs Mississippi
This disagrees with one of my double plays...But I really respect the handicappers here so I will be staying away from this one today

Of all these picks the three I like the most are the last 3. I also agree with the Arizona/BYU and Missisiipi State selections
Norm’s Late Thoughts
· San Jose plus the points vs Utah State
While I admire the way Utah State is turning it’s program around, San Jose has played a rugged schedule and is now dropping back down in class…this is a good value play

Norm’s Late Thoughts
I think Arizona and Chicago will run up the score. I expected the total to be higher in this game (as a matter of fact that made me a little leery). So let’s take this game OVER the total

There’s very little on this card…But the more I’m think about it the more I’m elevating the Bears game to go under…this was a single play for me but I’m going to elevate it to a double play today

Give me Syracuse minus the 11 points vs Akron (Win)
Our late plays on college and pro football begin the last weekend of this month with the arrival of the first full weekend of college football (August 29-31).
Each Saturday and Sunday morning by 9:30am we'll post two pieces of information:
1) Late consensus plays from some of the top handicappers in the country. These plays will be rated: very strong, strong and regular.
There'll usually be 4-7 plays each Saturday, 1-4 plays per Sunday and occasional plays on weeknights posted by 5pm.
2) My late thoughts. Each weekend day I'll have my latest opinions (usually on 2 or 3 games per day) based on continued evaluation of games, discussions with people around the country and the latest injury and/or suspension news. Seldom will weather play a role in these thoughts though a late snow, rain or wind storm could factor in these late opinions.
ONLY members of The Clubhouse will have access to these late plays from top services and my late thoughts. I hope you continue to believe in the value of the information we offer at a very very low cost (especially compared to what many handicappers charge).
Thanks for your membership and let's have a profitable
