ACL Tech come up short of predictions, lose to A-A-Ron in 132.56-75.42 rout

There's no easy way to say it, ACL Tech underperformed, at least according to projections, as A-A-Ron cruised to a 132.56-75.42 victory. ACL Tech pulled out to a 5-point lead on Thursday, but it was all A-A-Ron after that. They were led by Drew Brees (31.56 points) and Rob Gronkowski (23.3). Demaryius Thomas (6 Rec, 63 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Adam Thielen (6 Rec, 102 Rec Yds) did their part for ACL Tech in the loss. A-A-Ron (1-0) will look to build on their success against DirtyMikeAndTheBoyz, while ACL Tech (0-1) will seek to develop some positive momentum against She's Super Zeaky!.
