'Dog lang syne

It's the last week of the regular season in pro football, and the players in our charity underdog game have spoken:

16.5 ARIZONA at San Francisco - Usual Kevin, Juicen, John Cr., Coastal Storm, Gary
16 KANSAS CITY at Denver - Biggest Cubs Loser, Jeremy, Annie
10.5 ST. LOUIS at Seattle - PDXileinOmaha, Gordon, pdxmick, Eric W.
10 MIAMI at New England - Bob
7 PHILADELPHIA at New York Giants - Cinderella Story, Tinknocker, Paul, Rudie, Will, Pete Rose, Broadway Joe, Dr. D
6.5 INDIANAPOLIS vs Houston - genop's gal, Michael K., Carol, George, NoPoGuy, Drewbob, JMH, John Ch.
5 CAROLINA at New Orleans - Bad Brad
3.5 DALLAS at Washington - Grizfan, Tung
3.5 MINNESOTA vs. Green Bay - genop, Bayou Baby
3 BALTIMORE at Cincinnati - DB Cooper, Dave A., Lucas

Quite a few of our players were AWOL as of early this morning, when this post was written. (It is being posted by a robot.) Maybe they've just forgotten what day of the week it is -- we've found it a bit of a challenge ourself. When we get back to the screen a little later, we'll post whatever selections came in over breakfast.

For most of the Big Daddies, it's the last game of the year. But there are still several unknowns about the playoffs, and the teams affected by those uncertainties will no doubt be watching the scoreboard and battling hard. We'll be playing the underdog game for three more weeks, but none of those beasts will be anywhere near the 16-pointers on the fields today. Enjoy the last Sunday of 2012, and the games, everybody.

UPDATE, 2:27 p.m.: There, we finally have the morning picks (and there were quite a few) added to the pack.

UPDATE, 2:30 p.m.: And in the early games, Indy and Carolina come through for our players.

UPDATE, 2:56 p.m.: JMH's pick corrected. He chose Indianapolis this morning, not Philadephia.

UPDATE, 4:03 p.m.: Ditto for John Ch. We had a little spreadsheet alignment problem there.

UPDATE, 4:45 p.m.: The Vikings do two of our players a favor with a win -- as well as helping themselves and the 49ers.
