The B.O.S.S. succumb to Thick9 in 153.53-114.14 rout

There's no easy way to put it, The B.O.S.S. underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Thick9 cruised to a 153.53-114.14 victory. Thick9 pulled out to a 24.30-point lead on Thursday behind Carlos Hyde and never looked back. Mike Evans (27.7 points) and the Chicago Bears defense (23.8) carried the flag for The B.O.S.S. in defeat. Thick9 (1-2) will look to maintain their momentum against The Empire, while The B.O.S.S. (1-2) try to get back on track against StaffordshireTerrior.
