Bakin' A Dookie 💩
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With great production from our ball-carriers, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week.

Will Trade 4 RBs
Don't get too discouraged, Will Trade 4 RBs! Listen, I've been at it long enough to know that occasionally free points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. And then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay; it really would've required some extreme wizardry to come up with an extra dozen points for you this past matchup.
