Red Alice come up short of projections, succumb to Flash in 92.30-71.40 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Red Alice dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Flash rolled to a 92.30-71.40 victory. Flash earned a 4.00-point lead on Thursday behind Jake Elliott and never looked back. Drew Brees (21.87 points) and Logan Thomas (12) did their part for Red Alice in the loss. Flash (2-5) will look to keep it rolling against Gareth, while Red Alice (3-4) attempt to get back in the win column against Prof Irv.Prac.Fields.
