Here are the Week 13 underdogs

As usual, the players in our charity pro football game have a lot to ponder as they pick their respective underdogs for this week. And time is of the essence, because there are three games on Thursday, and one on Friday afternoon. Here are all the options (with the underdogs in caps):

12.5  LAS VEGAS at Kansas City (Friday, noon PST)

10  CHICAGO at Detroit (Thursday, 9:30 a.m. PST)

7  SAN FRANCISCO at Buffalo

6  CAROLINA vs. Tampa Bay

5.5  CLEVELAND at Denver (Monday, pick still due Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST)

5.5  TENNESSEE at Washington

5  JACKSONVILLE vs. Houston

3.5  ARIZONA at Minnesota

3.5  MIAMI at Green Bay (Thursday, 5:20 p.m. PST)

3.5  NEW YORK GIANTS at Dallas (Thursday, 1:30 p.m. PST)

3  PHILADELPHIA at Baltimore

3  PITTSBURGH at Cincinnati

2.5  NEW ORLEANS vs. Los Angeles Rams

2  ATLANTA vs. Los Angeles Chargers

2  NEW YORK JETS vs. Seattle

Picks of the Thursday and Friday games are due by kickoff time, and players, if you select one of those four as your main or backup choice, all your picks for the week must be received by the kickoff time of your earliest game. All other picks (including Monday's contest) are due at 10:00 a.m. PST on Sunday. Picks must go to dogpdx24@gmail.com.

Our latest standings are here, and boy, are they ever tight. Excellent competition! Good luck, everybody, and a happy holiday weekend to you from the crew at Underdog Central.
