'Dognostication, Week 2
Here are the lines for Week 2 of our charity pro football underdog game. Players, please keep in mind that you are betting on the underdog (in CAPS) to win its game outright, without the benefit of the point spread:
14.5 SEATTLE at Pittsburgh
9.5 CAROLINA vs. Green Bay
9 JACKSONVILLE at New York Jets
8 KANSAS CITY at Detroit
7 SAN DIEGO at New England
6.5 CHICAGO at New Orleans
5.5 TENNESSEE vs. Baltimore
4.5 ST. LOUIS at New York Giants (Monday night)
4.5 CINCINNATI at Denver
4 ARIZONA at Washington
3.5 OAKLAND at Buffalo
3 TAMPA BAY at Minnesota
3 SAN FRANCISCO vs. Dallas
3 MIAMI vs. Houston
2.5 INDIANAPOLIS vs. Cleveland
2.5 ATLANTA vs. Philadelphia
The deadline for all player picks is the scheduled kickoff time of the first game, 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Sunday. As ever, you must e-mail your pick to underdog@bojack.org. If you haven't paid your entry fee yet, I must receive it in the snail mail by Saturday in order for your pick of the week to count.
Lots of intrigue here. The Steelers looked bad last weekend, but could they possibly lose at home to Seattle? Detroit -- favored? Da Bearss -- are they or aren't they for real? Good luck, everybody.

The only thing that'll be left of the Seahawks next Monday will be a smashed-up beak and a scattered pile of bloody feathers. The Panthers have a better

...chance vs Green Bay.

The Pack did not have its act entirely together in that wild Thursday night game. The Jets also barely survived.

Sorry Jack, neither Carolina or Jacksonville have the horsepower to win outright, though Carolina is entertaining.
The closest think on that board to a lock, under your rules, IMHO, is Oakland beating Buffalo outright.
The 'Niners are also tempting, but I don't like the venue. And Romo is unreliable. He can't be counted on to screw up totally two weeks in a row.
If Tampa was at home, instead of in the Twin Cities, they might be worth a look, too.

I'm surprised at the spread of Seattle v. Pittsburgh - that has the makings of a really ugly game on both sides of the line.

Pittsburgh - Seattle -- ugly game?
You mean sort of like the Superbowl, where the officiating crew scored more points, and defended better against scores, than either team playing on the field?
