NORM'S LINES FORMAT - Favorite w/Spread on top - Underdog w/Under-Over in parenthesis

  In Week 12, two of the Elite teams lost. Things are still close, especially for a Elite Spot, but the weeks are dwindling away. I have added a Free Agent List to the web site. I have also changed the NFL NewsFeed to ESPN. Send me any Comments.

  If you would still like the Notes mailed to you let me know and I will start mailing them out to you. It is cheaper and also much quicker to go electronic. The league's url is http://swffl.50megs.com .

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The M. Takers will try to avenge their Week 4 loss to the Sharks. In week 4 this was a 3 point game, but the Sharks have been on fire lately. The Jelly Beans will try to complete the season sweep of the Quiet Storm. The Beans are on top of the standings and the Storm has been ice-cold lately. The Bull Dogs will try tom complete the season sweep of the Black & Blue Attack. The Attack is in the thick of a Championship battle and the Dogs are in a battle for a Elite Spot. The Dream Team will try to avenge their early season loss to the Black Revenge. Both teams are 6-6 and still very much alive. The Good Fellas will try to complete the season sweep of the Body Shop. Both teams still have a very good shot at a Elite Spot.

  Norm was 2/5 this week and is 31/55 (56%) on the season. He retains top billing (my estimates). Spock was 2/5 this week and is 25/55 (45%) on the season. His lines are below:

 S -10 MT(112)     DT -3 BR(121)
JB  -9 QS(123)     GF -5 BS(111)
BB  -8 BD(120)

  Two games were over on Sunday. Two others were pretty much over. One was sort of up in the air.

  The Good Fellas completed the Season sweep of the Quiet Storm. Interestingly, both teams cleared 70 points in their week 3 encounter. This week they did not clear 60 points combined. The Fellas got the majority of their points from McNabb and the PANTHERS. The Storm got the majority of their points from Carney (9 of 16 is a majority).

  The Bull Dogs avenged the early season loss to the Black Revenge in big fashion. The Dogs put up 66 points on Thanksgiving. By Sunday night the surpassed triple digits and had scored their first "Helmet". J. Jones and Harrison supplied 53 of the Dogs' 105 points on Thanksgiving. The Revenge put up 65 points in the loss and would have beaten several teams this week. The Revenge must be on the bad side of the "Scheduling God" again. The teams scored an amazing 325 points (81.25 pts/team/game) in the season series.

  The Body Shop avenged their early season loss to the Dream Team as Bulger and a 28 point lead were too much for the Holt to overcome. Davis and Moss made late long-distance scores to get the Shop back in the game. Droughns and the BRONCOS put the game out of reach for the Dream Team. Pittman and Gates led the scoring for the Dream Team in the loss, but Green barely showed up with only a 2 pointer.

  The Black & Blue Attack completed the season sweep of the M. Takers, as Faulk, Bruce and Longwell easily overcame a 12 point lead on Monday. Westbrook led the Attack on Sunday, and the game may well have ended then, as the Attack left a lot of points on the Bench. The Takers were led by Vick in the losing effort.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Jelly Beans and the Sharks. The Sharks swept the Cedar Lane Series as Walker, Wilkins and a 17 point lead were too much for the Beans, Favre and Driver on Monday night. Manning almost ended the game before it started with 6 TD's on Thanksgiving. The Beans made the game interesting again on Monday, but the Sharks persevered in this battle of neighbors in the Standings and in real life. The "W" moved the Sharks out of just trying to keep a Money Spot into the Championship mix. The Beans have been in that mix most of the season.
