We begin another season featuring the selections of the three prognosticators on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show — Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton, former Bears WR Tom Waddle and PFW publlisher/editor Hub Arkush. We are posting their picks for the Minnesota-New Orleans season opener, and on Friday we'll post the remaining games.
Normally these picks will be posted on Friday afternoon each week. Except for Week One, no Thursday games will be included.
