ForWhomTheBellTolls come up short of expectations, succumb to O'Well, 139.92-96.71
ForWhomTheBellTolls fell short of expectations, as O'Well secured a 139.92-96.71 victory. ForWhomTheBellTolls jumped out to a 28.28-point lead on Thursday behind a outstanding performance from Drew Brees (127 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD). But O'Well held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Deshaun Watson, who passed for 224 yards and a touchdown and ran for 30 yards for 39.96 points, and Odell Beckham Jr., who passed for 49 yards , had 35 receiving yards and scored 2 touchdowns (21.46 points). This marks the second time this season O'Well have gotten the best of ForWhomTheBellTolls, after winning 154-141.52 in their last matchup. O'Well (6-7) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while ForWhomTheBellTolls (7-6) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.
The Jaguars defense (0 Pts Allowed, 265 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) scored 19 points in a 6-0 win over the Colts in Week 13. Their scoring output more-than-doubled their 8.82-point projection and was much higher than their 8.23-point season scoring average. The Jaguars defense will face the Titans next week.

O'Well
Hey O'Well, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 43 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 153.51. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
ForWhomTheBellTolls
ForWhomTheBellTolls will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 13. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
