The Thurs-'dog's up nort'

Players in our charity pro football underdog contest: If you want tonight's underdog as your pick (or backup pick) for the week, your selection is due by 5:15 p.m. Pacific Time today at dogpdx26@gmail.com. It's Atlanta, for 6 points, at Green Bay. A nice payoff if the upset occurs.

There's still time for new players to join the game. It's all for charity; maybe you will be a hero for your favorite cause. Email dogpdx26@gmail.com for details. 'Dogs rule!

UPDATE, 5:22 p.m.: We have a couple of takers:

6  ATLANTA at Green Bay (Thursday, 5:15 p.m. PDT) - SteveO, Mojo

Good luck, players!

UPDATE, 11:55 p.m.: Well, that was easy. The Birds embarrass the Pack, and SteveO and Mojo get on the board with a nice 6. In seventh place for the moment. Everybody else takes a stab on Sunday.
