Former Bears WR Tom Waddle led the way in Week 16 among the panelists on the "Pro Football Weekly on TV" show with a 9-5 record (the Lions-Raiders game was a push). Waddle moved into a first-place tie with PFW publisher/editor Hub Arkush for the season-to-date lead with 111-96 records against the spread. All three panelists hit on their lock of the week, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Hampton holds a half-game lead over Arkush in season-to-date locks.
These picks will be posted each Friday. No Thursday games will be included. Pushes are dropped from each panelist's record, except for locks.
