The Thanksgiving week selections by the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show didn't give them much to be thankful for, as all three had losing records. Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton had the best record of the panelists in Week 12 at 5-8. Season to date, PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush continues to hold a lead in the standings. All the panelists struck out on their locks of the week, and Arkush holds the season-to-date lead on locks with a 7-4-1 record.
These picks will be posted on Friday afternoon each week. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record.
