Smack down boyz come up short of projections, succumb to Raiders4Life, 209.6-162.4

There's no easy way to say it, Smack down boyz underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Raiders4Life came out on top with a 209.6-162.4 win. Raiders4Life never trailed in this one after grabbing a 13.3-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Drew Brees (62.1 points) and Odell Beckham Jr. (17.4). Michael Thomas (10 Rec, 101 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Calvin Ridley (15 Rush Yds, 85 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Smack down boyz in the loss. This marks the first time this season Raiders4Life have knocked off Smack down boyz, after falling 236-196.7 in their last matchup. Raiders4Life (4-8) will look to add to their success against Outlaws, while Smack down boyz (4-8) attempt to right the ship against larry's Team.
