SAWTOOTHS come up short of predictions, still manage to defeat Vultures, 118.35-111.55
Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, but SAWTOOTHS did enough to take down Vultures, securing a 118.35-111.55 win. SAWTOOTHS nabbed an early 5.55-point lead on Thursday. Vultures bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Kirk Cousins (21.35 points) and the Arizona Cardinals defense (18). Unphased, SAWTOOTHS pulled it together later that afternoon, as T.Y. Hilton (25.6 points) and the Washington Football Team defense (23) put them back ahead for good. This marks the second time this season SAWTOOTHS have knocked off Vultures, after winning 160.65-137.8 in their last matchup. SAWTOOTHS improve to 6-8 for the season, while Vultures fall to 6-8.
The Football Team defense overachieved for the third time this season, scoring 23 points against their 6.55-point projection. During a 23-15 win over the 49ers, they allowed 15 points, surrendered 344 yards, and forced 3 turnovers. The Football Team defense ranks #6 among fantasy DEFs this season and will face the Seahawks next week.

SAWTOOTHS
We do respect the confidence this past week, SAWTOOTHS. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Noah Fant), while still getting a win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Vultures
Don't get too down on yourself, Vultures! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that pro-bono Assistant Coaching job available at the nearby Pop Warner team down the road!
