540 Boyz come up short of predictions, lose to The Bowery Boys in 149.70-127.22 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, 540 Boyz underdelivered, at least based on projections, as The Bowery Boys cruised to a 149.70-127.22 victory. 540 Boyz nabbed a 31.20-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from Eric Ebron, who caught 9 passes for 105 yards and 2 touchdowns for 31.5 points, and Julian Edelman, who caught 7 passes for 57 yards (12.7 points). But it was all The Bowery Boys after that. They were led by James Conner (34.5 points) and Deshaun Watson (23). The Bowery Boys (4-1) will look to rack up another win against Holy Smokers, while 540 Boyz (1-4) will try to get back on track against Underperformers Inc..
