Here are the Week 17 underdogs

It's the next-to-last week of the regular season in American pro football. Our charity underdog game runs into the playoffs, and so there are five weeks left for us counting this week.

A couple of reminders for our players: Once the playoffs get here, the choices get fewer and the spreads tend to be smaller. And here's what we're about: The top three finishers will get to designate these amounts to their favorite eligible charities on January 28:

• First place: $365
• Second place: $115
• Third place: $90

This year's rules (including charity eligibility) are here.

Okay, on with this week's underdogs. Here are they are (drumroll, please):

13.5  WASHINGTON vs. San Francisco

12  NEW ENGLAND at Buffalo

10.5  ARIZONA at Philadelphia

7  CAROLINA at Jacksonville
