Oh, sorry about that -- I left out the <cfoutput>'s. ..
Try this -- may not get you all the way there, but it's a start.
<cfset dfmt = "mm/dd">
<cfoutput>
<cfloop index="x" from="0" to="21" step="7">
<option value="">
#Dateformat(dateadd("d",-x,now()),dfmt)#-
#Dateformat(dateadd("d",6-x,now()),dfmt)#
</option>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
