Here are the Week 5 underdogs


We are into autumn for sure now, and already it's the fifth week of the Big Daddies of American pro football, the focus of our charity underdog game. Before we get into this week's lines, a note about prizes: With $50 chipped in from me, we have the same-size pool as last time around, and so our prizes will be the same as last time as well:

  • First prize:  $400
  • Second prize:  $125
  • Third prize:  $100
All for charity, of course.

With that happy bit of business completed, here is what the players in our game are looking at this week, with the underdogs in caps:

8.5  TAMPA BAY at Dallas (Thursday, 5:15 p.m. PDT)

7  MIAMI vs. Cincinnati

6.5  PHILADELPHIA vs. Jacksonville in London (Sunday, 6:30 a.m. PDT)

6.5  TENNESSEE vs. Houston

4.5  ARIZONA vs. Detroit

3.5  LAS VEGAS at New England

3.5  LOS ANGELES CHARGERS vs. Denver

3.5  NEW YORK GIANTS at Washington

3  BALTIMORE at Atlanta

3  GREEN BAY vs. Chicago

3  SAN FRANCISCO at Seattle

2.5  BUFFALO at Los Angeles Rams (Monday, pick still due Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PDT)

2.5  CLEVELAND at New York Jets

2.5  INDIANAPOLIS at Pittsburgh

1.5  NEW ORLEANS vs. Minnesota

Picks of the Thursday or London 'dogs are due by their respective kickoff times, and if either of those is your backup game, your main pick is due at that time as well. All other picks must be in by 10:00 a.m. PDT Sunday. The place to send them is, as always, dogpdx26@gmail.com.

Our latest standings are here. Good luck, players, with these mutts!
