Ain't never caught a rabbit

They billed it as Super Wild Card Weekend, but it was neither super nor wild. Leading up to it, I gave in to the hype, remarking about how many upsets there had been the last couple of years at this stage of things. I think I jinxed the underdogs.

Only one 'dog won, the smallest one, netting 3 points for three of our stronger players. Four of the five 'dog losses were blowouts, not really worth wasting time watching. And not that it matters in our game, but none of the losing 'dogs even covered their spreads. Now, that thar is boring.

But the one 'dog victory shifts things around a bit near the top of the board in our charity game. Here are the standings with just two weeks to go:

Last week rank	This week rank	Player	Point total
1	1	Mad Dog	60
3	2	Meow	56.5
4	3	Eric	56
6	4	DB	54
2	4	No Chance in Hell	54
5	6	Micah	52
7	7	Buster Douglas	49.5
8	8	Mojo	43.5
9	9	JC	41
9	9	pdxTrojan	41
11	11	Gordon	40
12	12	PDXileinOmaha	38.5
13	13	Evil O	35.5
14	14	TJ	31
15	15	Kosar19	26.5
16	16	SteveO	24.5
17	17	CrimsonCrud	24
18	18	Bad Picker	22.5
19	19	Paul	19.5
20	20	Drew	11.5
21	21	Annie B.	6.5

The players will have four games to choose from this coming weekend, assuming that none of the contests are so close as to be pick-'ems in the eyes of the Las Vegans. Once again, ALL picks will be due on Saturday at kickoff time for the first game, 1:30 p.m. PST.
