Skip's Team defy predictions, knock off G7, 83.46-70.26

Skip's Team beat their projected point total, earning an 83.46-70.26 victory over G7, who fell short of projections. Skip's Team earned an early 12.00-point lead on Thursday. G7 came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by the Jacksonville Jaguars defense (13 points) and Gerald Everett (11). Not to be deterred, Skip's Team rallied later that afternoon, as Philip Rivers (25.16 points) and Derrick Henry (16.8) put them back in the lead once and for all. Skip's Team (2-5) will look to sustain their momentum against Royal Pita, while G7 (4-3) meet Dirty Dan's Seahawks in an effort to right the ship.
