The Thursday night 'dog deadline is kickoff time; all other picks are due Sunday by 10:00 a.m. PDT at dogpdx24@gmail.com.

Our current standings are here, and as anyone can see, only a handful of our players have scored any points so far. And so there's still time for new players to join the game. If you're interested, send an email of interest to dogpdx24@gmail.com for details. Basically, you pick one underdog a week to win its game outright; if you're right, you get the number of points that the 'dog was favored to lose by (to the left of each all-caps underdog on the list above). The three players with the most points at season's end get to name eligible charities who get the pool. All proceeds to charity. The entry fee for the season is $25.

Okay, players, good luck sorting through all those lovely options this week.
