By the 'dogs' early light
Here are the first lines in our charity pro football underdog game this week -- Week 15, crunch time:
14 KANSAS CITY vs. Green Bay
11 JACKSONVILLE at Atlanta (Thursday 5:20 p.m. PST)
7 TAMPA BAY vs. Dallas (Saturday 5:20 p.m. PST)
7 WASHINGTON at New York Giants

3 NEW YORK JETS at Philadelphia
2.5 SAN DIEGO vs. Baltimore
1 OAKLAND vs. Detroit
We'll keep checking for Bengals/Rams, Dolphins/Bills, Seahawks/Bears, and Steelers/Niners. But meanwhile, these should wet your 'dog whistle.
UPDATE, 11:08 p.m.: Here are a couple of additional pooches who just waddled in:
6 ST. LOUIS vs. Cincinnati
3.5 SEATTLE at Chicago
UPDATE, 11:59 p.m.: Players, don't forget that if you are picking either the Thursday game or the Saturday game, your pick must be in by kickoff of the game you are choosing.
UPDATE, 12/14, 11:35 p.m.: And here's another option:
6.5 MINNESOTA vs. New Orleans

Am I the only one that thinks that NE/Den line should be more like 14??!

Or at least 9, Larry. Let's see how the Broncos' stalwart defense handles Brady & his record-setting TE. Tebow will be running around on his home turf again, don't forget. Big challenge for Belichik. The folks in Oakland & San Diego can barely wait.

That Thursday night game looks intriguing at 11pts. Falcons solid & resurging, but inconsistent; Jaguars struggling, but have a great running back and a defense that occasionally performs very well. Will analyze tonight and include somewhere as either an "Upset Special" or list it in the "Gamblers Corner."

Jacksonville is not an "Upset Special" this week. The Jags' rookie QB is going to have a tough time against the Falcons' defensive pressures and coverage at critical times. Still, this should be a better-than-most-expect TNF game, entertainment-wise.
