The littlest dog
Good news for me in this past weekend's installment of the Underdog Pool, in which I and some others try each week to pick an underdog that will win a pro football game: I picked Dallas over Da Bearss on Sunday, and I was right, earning 3 points in the season-cumulative standings. However, there were two other underdog winners -- Tennessee and Green Bay -- who earned more points (4.5 each), and so I have dropped behind a gang of four who are currently tied for the lead, a point and a half ahead of me.
The amazing part of this is that I know next to nothing about the game, and am relying mostly on the wisdom of readers of this blog. If I hadn't chickened out and gone with Dallas, I was ready to pull the trigger on Tennessee, and I should have. The Pack over San Diego was kind of daring, but readers had me well aware that it might happen. To those who have been steering me in the right direction, I'm most grateful.
We'll talk about next weekend's games tomorrow or Thursday.

I picked Dallas also;along with the Cardinals who lost to Baltimore by just three points. It looks like Tony Romo and T.O. are one of the better teams this year. Maybe even a playoff team. Green Bay is the big surprise for many. In fact, if they win against the Bears, I suspect the Bears will be out of the playoff picture.

Post the schedule, I think I am close to Sebastian and this is driving me nuts. I was 2-1 out of my top 3 like him.
I feel sorry for the Saints, at least the Chargers have an easy division to win.

Not buying what I was saying about GB huh? I don't blame you. I was waffling!

By the way, Philly is a perfect example of why I can't pick anything until the end of the week.
Monday: Philly RB Westbrook knee MRI, possibly out. Disturbing, as he's the best player on the team
Thurs: Westbrook probable now. Sebastian laying off Det, worried about a Philly homestand.
Sun: Westbrook puts up a ludicrous 221 total yds and 3 TDs. Philly routs Det 56-21.
