Our latest standings are here. Good luck to the players who are riding on today's mutts.
NOTE: This post was corrected to fix a clerical error (the omission of Meow's and Andy C.'s picks).
UPDATE, 1:15 p.m.: No winners for us in the early Sunday games. Everybody missed the Giants' win. Andypdx and Stephen F. still have 'dogs going.
UPDATE, 4:25 p.m.: Cleveland does not prevail. Andypdx is in the nightcap for the lead in our standings.
UPDATE, 10:38 p.m.: What an entertaining game between Atlanta and Washington! Atlanta took it to overtime, but came up short. Our standings are unchanged. Lines Tuesday.
Well, I'm glad everyone is having the same trouble as I am... how do bookies get things so right so often?
