AMMODOG hand Whackers fourth straight loss in 148.00-105.15 rout

AMMODOG cruised to a 148.00-105.15 win to hand Whackers their fourth consecutive loss to open the season. Whackers pulled out to a 3.90-point lead on Thursday, but it was all AMMODOG after that. They were led by Dak Prescott (502 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 12 Rush Yds) and Tre'Quan Smith (4 Rec, 54 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Gardner Minshew II (351 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Mike Evans (7 Rec, 122 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Whackers in defeat. AMMODOG (3-1) will look to maintain their momentum against Lucky Enuf, while Whackers (0-4) meet Hangovers in an effort to earn their first win.

Coach Talk

AMMODOG
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Whackers at the wide receiver position (57.6 points to 26.5).
Whackers
Hey, it's possible that Whackers could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 13 targets as a group in Week 4, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
