GioW COWBOYS
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up GiantsRangers at the quarterback position this past week (24.86 points to 12.04). Mahomes went 26-for-47 for 254 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 32-29 win over the Saints.
