Slinks Mayhem fall to MILLER'S KILLERS in 106.74-68.82 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Slinks Mayhem didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as MILLER'S KILLERS cruised to a 106.74-68.82 win. Slinks Mayhem pulled out to a 5.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all MILLER'S KILLERS after that. They were led by Aaron Rodgers (291 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Cooper Kupp (11 Rec, 110 Rec Yds). The Pittsburgh Steelers defense (18 points) and Lamar Jackson (16.82) were the leading scorers for Slinks Mayhem in defeat. This marks the second time this season MILLER'S KILLERS have taken down Slinks Mayhem, after winning 115.86-108.5 in their last matchup. MILLER'S KILLERS (5-3) will look to get another W against Browns, while Slinks Mayhem (3-5) attempt to get back on track against Jiri's Team.
