Note: As usual, this post was composed a few hours ago, and is being triggered by a robot after the close of this week's picks. If additional picks have come in (or changes have been made) after this post was written but before the deadline, they will be added to this post as soon as we can get to it later today.

Good luck to everybody with a 'dog in the hunt today, tonight, or tomorrow. Enjoy the games, everybody!

UPDATE, 11:38 a.m.: Picks by Mac, genop, genop's gal, DB Cooper, and Eric W. added. They all got here this morning before the deadline.

UPDATE, 5:00 p.m.: 'Dog day afternoon! All three afternoon underdogs prevail. Thirteen of our players pick up points from two of them. And so we have 21 contestants on the board, with only one left to play, and that's tomorrow night. Quite a first week.
