As always, my game administration skills may be a little rusty here in Week 1. If anything above looks amiss, please let me know right away at dogpdx26@gmail.com.

Nobody chose:

10  ARIZONA at Los Angeles Chargers

3.5  ATLANTA at Pittsburgh

1.5  HOUSTON vs. Buffalo

IMPORTANT NOTE: With one pick added as of 9:00 this morning, the list is now complete.

Good luck, players!

UPDATE, 2:15 p.m.: The Jets win, picking up a point and a half for Roger Goodell. The Saints make it as interesting as it can get, but they and the other early Sunday 'dogs lose. On to the afternoon games we go.

UPDATE, 5 p.m.: The biggest 'bowser on the board wins, but nobody in our game has it. The Commanders make it interesting, but break hearts, losing on special teams. The G-Men go for it in the nightcap.
