On the Line: Panel panics as guests take lead

Mark Lytle?s 7-3 mark last week lifted him past previous leader Dale Stubblefield ? who is now tied for second with Pat Zechman, whose surge continued with a 9-1 week.

?My lead disappears in three week?s time, and the guests ? the GUESTS?! ? are in first place?? moaned Duane Sherrill, who stands tied for fourth, five games out of the lead. ?We?ve got to do something. If we can?t out-pick them, we?ve got to get a guest in here that will pick himself out of the lead.?

Filling that role this week is Art Larson, whose advice to the regular panelists to take Goodpasture last week was so impressive (Goodpasture lost, by the way), he was invited to show his skills with a 10-game, all-NFL slate this week.
