Back-and-forth battle ends with BlackAndYellowLife coming back to beat Fins4Life in 182.40-148.70 rout

What a whirlwind! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, BlackAndYellowLife earned a convincing win over Fins4Life, rolling to a 182.40-148.70 victory. Fins4Life pulled out to an early 19.10-point lead on Thursday. BlackAndYellowLife came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by stellar showings from Aaron Rodgers (26.55 points) and Mike Williams (24.1). Not to be deterred, Fins4Life rallied later that night to take a 7.75-point lead behind Golden Tate (12.9 points). But BlackAndYellowLife came back again on Monday night with their back against the wall, as the Pittsburgh Steelers defense (20.85 points) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (20.6) put them back ahead once and for all. BlackAndYellowLife (2-1) will look to maintain their winning ways against HurricaneOne-17Champ, while Fins4Life (1-2) attempt to right the ship against 'Fin Gal.
