End up like a 'dog that's been beat too much
It's time for the big daddies of pro football to narrow it down to the final four teams, and so it's the next-to-last weekend in our charity underdog pol. Here are this week's selections:
7 ARIZONA at New Orleans - George, Annie, Robert, Michael K., Hank, jmh
7 NY JETS at San Diego - Sidney
6 BALTIMORE at Indianapolis - Kevin, Bad Brad, Doug, Mark, Andy, Rick
2.5 DALLAS at Minnesota - Gordon
My records show no pick by Genop (or his mom), Michael W., Dan, or Flynn. Please let me know if I've missed something, but if not, they sit out. (Gary's retired.)
The standings are here. This weekend could well decide some things, or maybe not. Enjoy the games, everybody!

No pick from the current third place holder, genops's mom? My goodness, that creates an opening for some of us to gain some yardage! I hope I can run past Hank today.

I don't know: I have a strange feeling that Minnesota's going to knock Dallas's block off, and I couldn't tell you why.

Wow, Arizona has sure got NO right where they want them -- hard not to be pretty darn overconfident when you're up 45-14!

That "opening" genop's mom gave me, closed rather quickly. And to think, I was going to clean the gutters for her!

That's the way of the underdog pool -- if the 'dogs don't win, no players advance.

I'm starting to appreciate my cat!

Well, since that was probably the death of any chance I'd have had to place, I'm pulling for Sidney to finish strong! Go Jets!

(Indianapolis, IN) -- Aw, fiddlesticks. Yeah, go Jets!
