Pai Mei fall short of projections, succumb to RT17, 448.91-340.63
There's no way around it, Pai Mei didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as RT17 secured a 448.91-340.63 victory. Pai Mei grabbed a 25.20-point lead on Thursday, but RT17 held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Keenan Allen, who caught 16 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown for 81 points, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns (45.1 points). Dalvin Cook (79.17 points) and P.J. Walker (40.99) did everything they could for Pai Mei in the loss. This marks the first time this season RT17 have gotten the best of Pai Mei, after falling 397.69-394.49 in their last matchup. RT17 (7-4) will look to maintain their momentum against GREEN LEGION, while Pai Mei (6-5) attempt to get back in the win column against Adi's Team.
Projected to score 7.26 points, the Packers defense scored 81.8% more than that amount by scoring 13.2 points in a 34-31 loss to the Colts. They allowed 34 points, surrendered 420 yards, and forced 2 turnovers to beat their projection by the highest percentage of any player on RT17 this week. The Packers will battle the Bears next week.
