Former Bears WR Tom Waddle posted his second strong week in a row, going 8-4 to lead the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show in Week Seven. (The Seattle-Cleveland game was a push.) PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush continues to lead the season-to-date standings with a 55-42 record against the spread, but Waddle moved into second place, only three games behind Arkush. Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton correctly picked his lock for a fifth week in a row, and he leads the way in season-to-date locks with a 5-1-1 record.
These picks will be posted each Friday. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record, except for locks.
