Wizards defeat Primetime in 113.94-80.64 rout

Wizards rose to the occasion, rolling to a 113.94-80.64 victory over Primetime, who fell short of projections. Wizards earned an early 13.40-point lead on Thursday. Primetime came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by the Buffalo Bills defense (16.68 points) and Leonard Fournette (16.5). Unphased, Wizards rallied later that night, as Ezekiel Elliott (22.7 points) and Dak Prescott (16.78) put them back in the lead for good. Wizards (4-3) will look to keep it rolling against Rabid Otters, while Primetime (4-3) will take on Baker's Dirty Dozen in an effort to right the ship.
