Vegas Knows Something We Don’t | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges
Description
Norm Hitzges is back behind the mic, and this time he’s got his eyes on Vegas—and on you, Cowboys fans. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm lays out why the Dallas vs. Giants matchup suddenly feels a whole lot scarier, thanks to some eyebrow-raising betting line shifts. From Dak to the defense, he digs into what’s at stake and why Vegas doesn’t throw numbers around for fun.
But Norm doesn’t stop there—he takes college football to task for its annual tradition of making “Top 25” guesses that feel more like fan fiction than analysis. Notre Dame? Florida State? SMU? Texas? Norm cuts through the noise, calling out reputation bias, early-season delusions, and what it really takes to prove you belong.
With his trademark blend of sharp insight, humor, and a dash of sass, Norm leaves you with plenty to argue about over your next steak dinner—or while you’re refreshing those betting apps.
