The Washington Redskins held the Oakland Raiders to just 128 total yards en route to a 27-10 victory in last week’s installment of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Washington running back Chris Thompson put up a career-high 150 receiving yards, while safety Montae Nicholson recorded his first career interception on the first possession of the game. Only two Duke editors chose Washington to win, sending news editor Raymond Arke and opinions editor Shivani Gosai to the top of the leader board.
Next, the Indianapolis Colts face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4’s Sunday Night Football matchup on NBC at 8:30 p.m. Check below for the staff’s expert — and not-so-expert — predictions for the game.
Will the rest of the staff catch up to Arke and Gosai, or will the pair leap further ahead after Week 4 of NFL play?
