 NFL Pick'em: Stand by your man

Holly isn't changing her tune -- it's her hubby's Panthers all the way.
Week 7 was dismal for Page 3's NFL Pick'em. More than half of our celebs lost their lock-of-the-week and no one cracked double digits.

As the only participant to pick the Dolphins to upset over Rams, Heather Mitts' loyalty to boyfriend/Miami quarterback A.J. Feeley helped her squeak by with this week's best record, going 9-5.

Allegiance also paid off for Wilma McNabb who placed second in Week 7 and jumped to first-place overall. Mama now leads James Blake by one point.

Not so much for Holly Robinson Peete, who's Panthers lock-of-the-week fell to the San Diego Chargers.

Quotable: Remember in "The Godfather II" when Fredo went against family? Remember what happened to him? I will NEVER pick against the Panthers! No matter what place I am in. Even at 1-4 they are my LOCK this week. -- Holly Robinson Peete

The rules:
  • Games are picked straight up
  • Poolers pick one lock-of-the-week, indicated by an asterisk*
  • Every other game is worth +1 if won and 0 points if lost
  • Lock is worth +2 points if won and -2 points if lost
  • Five points added to overall score for a perfect week
  • In the event of a tie, pool will extend to postseason
