aeneas1 manage to knock off Elvis 88.51-75.91 despite coming up short of projections

Both teams fell short of their projected point totals, but aeneas1 did enough to knock off Elvis. Predicted to lose 99.60-98.50, aeneas1 earned an 88.51-75.91 win over Elvis. Elvis earned a 19.66-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Jameis Winston, who passed for 208 yards and a touchdown for 10.76 points, and DJ Moore, who caught 9 passes for 89 yards (8.9 points). But aeneas1 held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the New England Patriots defense (37 points) and Larry Fitzgerald (11.4). aeneas1 (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against CardinalFan, while Elvis (0-2) try to earn their first W against Xheryk.

Coach Talk

aeneas1
Hey, it's good to be confident, aeneas1. It takes a special kind of moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still earning a W. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Elvis
Luckily, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Elvis. Starting O.J. Howard in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 88.51 points... we'll all assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
