aeneas1 come up short of projections, succumb to Elvis, 90.06-78.29

There's no sugarcoating it, aeneas1 underperformed, at least based on projections, as Elvis earned a 90.06-78.29 win. Elvis never trailed in this one after nabbing a 13.43-point lead on Thursday behind Alex Collins (7.83 points) and Michael Crabtree (5.6). DeSean Jackson (20.21 points) and DeAndre Hopkins (18) were the leading scorers for aeneas1 in the loss. Elvis (2-0) will look to add to their success against Xheryk, while aeneas1 (0-2) will attempt to get some positive momentum against CardinalFan.
