War Pony grabbed a 32.60-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from Deshaun Watson, who passed for 298 yards and 2 touchdowns for 25.9 points, and Carlos Hyde, who ran for 67 yards (6.7 points). But Warm Bodies held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Chris Godwin (37.4 points) and Baker Mayfield (32.85). Warm Bodies (1-11) will look to add to their success against Mutinous Apes, while War Pony (8-4) will attempt to develop some positive momentum against Hooligans.
