PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush posted a sparkling 11-5 record against the spread in Week Three to storm into the lead among the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show with a 26-18 season-to-date record. Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton is two games back at 24-20. Arkush and Hampton both hit on their lock of the week, and Hampton leads the way in that category with a 1-1-1 record.
These picks will be posted each Friday. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record, except with respect to the locks.
