SMOKINHIPPYKILLERS manage to top Dallas Hitmen 182.62-164.69 despite coming up short of predictions

Coach Talk

SMOKINHIPPYKILLERS
Mission accomplished, SMOKINHIPPYKILLERS. Putting together a team that won by nearly 18 points this past matchup... we'll tip our cap to the GM of Dallas Hitmen, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards the Dynasty League VII championship.
Dallas Hitmen
Fortunately, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, Dallas Hitmen. Starting B.W. Webb in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on.
