Notes on a 'dog day afternoon
The pro football underdog pool is great fun. But it has one drawback: You get to pick only one underdog, and then in all the other games, you wind up rooting for the favorites. My basic orientation is always to root for the underdog, and cheering on the predicted winner in game after game just feels wrong.

No television dog in modern history, not even Lassie, has ever been lambasted and lionized in quite the way Underdog is.

Who did you pick? Buffalo is in pretty good shape once they get Edwards (not Losman) settled at QB.
The Phil/Dal game shoudl be interesting tonight, I am pulling ofr Phila with an outright win and easy spread cover since it will be a low scoring game, I think.
