Former Bears WR Tom Waddle fared best among the three panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show last week, going 7-7 against the pointspread. As a result, he retains his lead in the season-to-date standings. PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush was the only one of the three to correctly pick a lock of the week, and that lifts him into a tie with Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton on season-to-date, both at 3-1, as Hampton missed his first lock last week, having selected the Falcons to cover against the 49ers.

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.
