THUNDER N LIGHTNING come up short of expectations, succumb to Run CMC in 128.80-83.25 rout

There's no way around it, THUNDER N LIGHTNING underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Run CMC rolled to a 128.80-83.25 win. Run CMC got out to an early 13.30-point lead on Thursday. THUNDER N LIGHTNING came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Aaron Rodgers (27.4 points) and Duke Johnson (5.4).
