Big Ballers come up short of predictions, succumb to Yobogoya!, 109.45-78.50

There's no way around it, Big Ballers didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Yobogoya! earned a 109.45-78.50 victory. Big Ballers grabbed a 24.50-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 24.5 points from the Chicago Bears defense (10 Pts Allowed, 213 Yds Allowed) and Mitchell Trubisky (228 Pass Yds, 11 Rush Yds). But Yobogoya! held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Carson Wentz (313 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and John Brown (7 Rec, 123 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Yobogoya! (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Doo Doo Browns, while Big Ballers (0-1) face Not Enuf Johnson in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
