Coach Talk

My Cousins' Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Hyde Mafia SWEEP at the wide receiver position (45 points to 19).
Hyde Mafia SWEEP
Mitchell Trubisky threw one interception and not a single touchdown? It may be that spooky time of year, but that type of showing is just a little too ghoulish for our liking.
