Tom's Tip-Top Team knock off ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ in 132.84-102.16 rout

Tom's Tip-Top Team brought their A game and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 132.84-102.16 victory over ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐, who fell short of projections. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ leapt out to a 21.00-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Travis Kelce (14 points) and the Kansas City Chiefs defense (7). But it was all Tom's Tip-Top Team after that. They were led by JuJu Smith-Schuster, who caught 6 passes for 69 yards and 2 touchdowns for 21.9 points, and Chris Carson, who racked up 66 yards from scrimmage and caught 2 touchdown passes (21.6 points). Tom's Tip-Top Team (1-0) will look to add to their success against Shane's Team, while ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ (0-1) will meet So.Cal.Spartans in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
