Forget Week Three — the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" panelists certainly would like to. All three posted losing records last week. Former Bears WR Tom Waddle holds a slim lead in the season-to-date records, but nothing to write home about. Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush both hit on their lock of the week, with Hampton's season-to-date record on locks going to 3-0.
These picks will be posted on Friday afternoon each week. No Thursday games will be included. Links to the current week's Handicapping Inner Circle content will be posted under "Handicapping Inner Circle" on the navigation bar.
