Painster beat projections, defeat Emperor Pelicans in 143-108 rout

Painster stepped up and beat their projected point total, cruising to a 143-108 win over Emperor Pelicans. Painster pulled out to an 11-point lead on Thursday behind Michael Gallup and never relinquished it. Lamar Jackson (145 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 40 Rush Yds) and Aaron Jones (134 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 58 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Emperor Pelicans in the loss. This marks the first time this season Painster have taken down Emperor Pelicans, after falling 128-118 in their last matchup. Painster will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinal round next week, while Emperor Pelicans seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Painster
Props to you, Painster. Nice job fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by a whopping 35 points this past matchup.
Emperor Pelicans
Well, Emperor Pelicans, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Starting Josh Jacobs in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 143 points... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
