Robin find way to knock off tails 90.48-80.44 despite coming up short of predictions

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, but Robin did enough to beat tails. Predicted to fall short by a score of 108.54-104.61, Robin came out on top with a 90.48-80.44 win over tails. Robin never trailed in this one after nabbing a 10.00-point lead on Thursday behind the Tennessee Titans defense. T.Y. Hilton (19.9 points) and Joe Mixon (19.8) did everything they could for tails in the loss. This marks the second time this season Robin have knocked off tails, after winning 85.36-78.78 in their last matchup. Robin will look to keep it rolling in next week's semifinals, while tails seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Robin
Hey Robin, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 10 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 13 weeks was 95.96. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
tails
You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn nit-picky with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence any critics out there. Keep pushing forward, tails!
