Here are the Week 12 underdogs

As usual, the players in our charity pro football game have a lot to ponder as they pick their respective underdogs for this week. And they had better think quick, because there are three games on Thursday, and one on Friday afternoon. Here are the options (with the underdogs in caps):

11  WASHINGTON at Dallas (Thursday, 1:30 p.m. PST)

10  NEW YORK JETS vs. Miami (Friday, noon PST)

8.5  LAS VEGAS vs. Kansas City

7.5  GREEN BAY at Detroit (Thursday, 9:30 a.m. PST)

7  SEATTLE vs. San Francisco (Thursday, 5:20 p.m. PST)

3.5  BUFFALO at Philadelphia

3.5  CAROLINA at Tennessee

3.5  CHICAGO at Minnesota (Monday, pick still due Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST)

3.5  LOS ANGELES CHARGERS vs. Baltimore

3.5  NEW YORK GIANTS vs. New England

2.5  CLEVELAND at Denver

2.5  TAMPA BAY at Indianapolis

1.5  HOUSTON vs. Jacksonville

1  CINCINNATI vs. Pittsburgh

1  LOS ANGELES RAMS at Arizona

1  NEW ORLEANS at Atlanta

Most of the big 'dogs play in the early games. And there are seven home 'dogs out of 16 this week.

Picks of the Thursday and Friday games are due by kickoff time, and players, if you select one of those four as your main or backup choice, all your picks for the week must be received by the kickoff time of your earliest game. All other picks (including Monday's contest) are due at 10:00 a.m. PST on Sunday. Picks must go to dogpdx23@gmail.com.

Our latest standings are here, and note that PDXileinOmaha moved up with a Monday night victory. Good luck, everybody, and a happy holiday weekend to you from the crew at Underdog Central.
