Here are the Week 19 underdog picks

Wild things run fast, and this weekend's slate of underdogs in American pro football lives up to the "wild card" moniker borne by this round of action. Players in our charity game had a couple of big ones, a chihuahua, and three in between to pick from, and here's where they have come out:

10  PITTSBURGH at Baltimore - Meow, Mojo, Andypdx, Oredogger, Gordon,  Zen Cohac, Kosar19

8.5  DENVER at Buffalo - Linda, pdxTrojan, Stephen F., Buster Dog-las, Annie B., Bad Picker, Cliff

4.5  GREEN BAY at Philadelphia - SteveO

3  HOUSTON vs. Los Angeles Chargers - pitter patter

3  WASHINGTON at Tampa Bay - Portland Pandemonium, PDXileinOmaha, Shoeshine Boy, John, Roger Goodell

1.5  LOS ANGELES RAMS vs. Minnesota in Arizona - Air

We get Houston and Pittsburgh today, the Rams Monday night, and the other three pooches tomorrow. I'll try to post here about the action as time permits over the weekend. Our standings going into this weekend are here. Good luck to all our 'dognosticators as this antepenultimate week of our contest gets rolling.

UPDATE, Saturday evening: Houston wins, moving pitter patter up into the "money."

UPDATE, Satutrday night: Pittsburgh's Super Bowl dreams get Lamarred, and seven players get the donut for the week.

UPDATE, Sunday afternoon: The Broncos did not prevail. Seven more ciphers.

UPDATE, Sunday evening: Green Bay fell to the Eagles. Today's last game in progress, then one tomorrow. 

UPDATE, Sunday night: The Commanders take command and move Shoeshine Boy into a tie for the lead in our standings. But Air, his co-leader, has the Rams tomorrow night.
