VABoyz manage to beat Crazy Dogs 86-64 despite falling short of projections

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point totals, but VABoyz did enough to knock off Crazy Dogs, earning a 86-64 victory. VABoyz nabbed a 22-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Patrick Mahomes (21 points) and Tyreek Hill (4 Rec, 46 Rec Yds) and never looked back. Joe Mixon (129 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Ezekiel Elliott (87 Rush Yds, 41 Rec Yds) did their part for Crazy Dogs in the loss. This marks the third time this season VABoyz have taken down Crazy Dogs, after winning 79-73 in their last matchup. VABoyz will look to clinch the championship next week, while Crazy Dogs seek to bounce back and lock up 3rd Place.
