Former Bears WR Tom Waddle narrowed the gap between him and his fellow panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show, recording a 7-5 record against the spread last week (with Jets-Patriots being a push). Waddle's Week Five showing lifted him into a tie for second place with Hall of Famer Dan Hampton at 36-36 for the season. PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush continues to hold a lead in the season-to-date standings at 41-31. Waddle and Hampton each hit on his lock of the week, and Hampton leads the way in that category with a 3-1-1 record for the season.
These picks will be posted each Friday. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record, except for locks.
