An underdog among dingoes

There's an NFL game being played this evening, although it will be Friday morning on the field. The 49ers of San Francisco are the underdog against the Rams of Los Angeles in a game being played in Melbourne, Australia. Players in our charity Pro Football Underdog contest, if your pick for the week is San Francisco, the deadline for getting it to dogpdx26@gmail.com is 5:35 p.m. today, Pacific Daylight Time.

Once kickoff has happened Down Under, I'll post any 49er picks as an update to this post. The deadline for all the rest of the Week 1 games is Sunday at 10:00 a,m. PDT.

UPDATE, 5:50 p.m.: We have one taker for tonight's game:

3.5  SAN FRANCISCO vs. Los Angeles Rams (in Melbourne, Thursday, 5:35 p.m. PDT) – Gordon

Good luck to him and his 'dog!

UPDATE, 10:55 p.m.:  And the Niners trounce the Rams. That's our first 3.5 points, going to Gordon. The current standings:

            Gordon                3.5

            Everyone else        0

Looking forward to seeing lots of competing picks by the Sunday 10:00 a.m. PDT deadline.
