Los Pollos Hermanos fall short of predictions, succumb to Low Ballers in 172.85-98.80 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Los Pollos Hermanos didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Low Ballers rolled to a 172.85-98.80 victory. Low Ballers never trailed in this one after earning a 13.40-point lead on Thursday behind Justin Jackson (14.5 points) and Chris Jones (8.5). Todd Gurley II (24.4 points) and Tarik Cohen (9.2) did everything they could for Los Pollos Hermanos in the loss. This marks the second time this season Low Ballers have knocked off Los Pollos Hermanos, after winning 180-167.15 in their last matchup. Low Ballers will look to clinch the championship next week, while Los Pollos Hermanos attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Low Ballers
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Our squad took that to heart this past week and nearly quadrupled Los Pollos Hermanos at the quarterback position (55.15 points to 14).
Los Pollos Hermanos
Los Pollos Hermanos will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 23 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
