Here are our players' Week 2 underdog picks

I start today's post with a report from the Underdog Treasury: Beakie, a player in our last game, is sitting it out this year. But she's chipped $25 into the charity pool in memory of her mom and with best wishes to our players. Thank you, Beakie! Along with our players' entries and a $25 donation from me, the fund is now $625. Let's give it a week or so more, to see if any additional players or contributors emerge, before setting this year's prizes. But they'll be a lot like last year's, only a bit larger. All proceeds to charity.

Okay, here's what the players really wanna know, which is who picked whom this week!

6.5  CHICAGO at Houston - Shoeshine Boy, Linda

6.5  MINNESOTA vs. San Francisco - Mojo, Air, Oredogger, Buster Dog-las, pitter patter, PdxTrojan, andypdx

UPDATE, 4:50 p.m.: Many victorious 'dogs this day! Most of our players score points this week, although no one had the two best 'dogs o' the day. Complete standings after Da Bears' night tussle in Space City.

UPDATE, Monday night: And Atlanta won in Philadelphia! Shoulda, coulda, woulda...
