A man's best friend
Several underdogs come through for our charity football pool players today: the Jets, the Bills, the Lions, and a spectacular win by the Eagles. That moves Andy up to just a point behind our leader, Gary, and things tighten up quite a bit right after that in our standings as well. It appears that bragging rights and charity heroism will go right down to the wire in the five weeks left.
Here are the findings as the big daddies of the NFL wrap up our weekend:
Gary 52.5

The closeness at the top makes the strategy for picks very interesting. No one has a big enough lead to just pick the top dog every week. As if this season weren't interesting enough already ...

The fierce rivalry between Flowers by Dorcas and Flowers by Dorcas Husband should not pass unremarked: pressure mounts during the final three weeks.
