The Saturday underdog post

A thrill of hope.

Players in our charity underdog game, take note: If you want either of the Saturday games as your main pick or backup pick this week, all of your selections for the week must be in to dogpdx23@gmail.com by the start of your earliest game. The Satur-'dogs are:

12  LOS ANGELES CHARGERS vs. Buffalo (Saturday, 5:00 p.m. PST)

2.5  PITTSBURGH vs. Cincinnati (Saturday, 1:30 p.m. PST)

Our latest standings are here. No points were scored last week.

I'll update this post later today (as festivities permit) to note picks and results.

UPDATE, 1:55 p.m.: Nobody went with the Steelers. Maybe it's an "America first" thing.

UPDATE, 6:30 p.m.: Pittsburgh won, convincingly. In the nightcap, nobody's got the Chargers.

UPDATE, 10:15 p.m.: It was close, but the Chargers did not prevail.
