Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush narrowed the gap between season-to-date leader Tom Waddle among the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show, both going 6-6-2 against the pointspread in Week Six. (The Baltimore-New England and Indianapolis-Washington games were pushes, which are dropped from the season-to-date records.) Meanwhile, Hampton extended his lead on the lock of the week, with another dead-on pick improving his season-to-date record to 5-1.
These picks will be posted on Friday afternoon each week. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record.
