Slim Pickens top projections, knock off Spokane Sith in 130.46-109.72 rout

Slim Pickens showed up, cruising to a 130.46-109.72 win over Spokane Sith, who fell short of projections. Spokane Sith nabbed a 6.90-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Slim Pickens after that. They were led by Christian McCaffrey (39.7 points) and Russell Wilson (27.96). JuJu Smith-Schuster (13 Rec, 189 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Ezekiel Elliott (121 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 22 Rec Yds) did everything they could for Spokane Sith in defeat. This marks the second time this season Slim Pickens have knocked off Spokane Sith, after winning 155.42-122.64 in their last matchup. Slim Pickens (4-8) will look to sustain their momentum against Cutlass Conglomerate, while Spokane Sith (7-5) take on Mananas in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Slim Pickens
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by a stellar display by Russell Wilson, we doubled up Spokane Sith at the quarterback position this past week (27.96 points to 13.92). Wilson went 22-for-31 for 339 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 30-27 win over the Panthers.
Spokane Sith
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Dan Bailey might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
