seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin catches a pass from quarterback Russell Wilson for a touchdown in the third quarter of the Nov. 20, 2016, game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Duke staff took last week off from predicting Sunday Night Football to spend time with family and friends over Thanksgiving break, but they’re back and ready for their final matchup as the semester slowly comes to an end.
Since no predictions were made for the Steelers/Packers game, and it’s the holiday season, the staff collectively agreed to give everyone a win for the week — we all know the Steelers would have gotten the majority vote anyway.
News Editor Raymond Arke keeps his lead at 9-2, while Sports Editor Adam Lindner and Asst. Photo Editor Bryanna McDermott remain tied for second with 7-4 records.
