James's Genius Team fall short of projections, find way to beat BIG POPA, 114.52-108.60

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, but James's Genius Team did enough to take down BIG POPA. Predicted to triumph by a score of 128.54-121.68, James's Genius Team came out on top with a 114.52-108.60 win over BIG POPA. BIG POPA earned a 26.4-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive performances from the Buffalo Bills defense, who didn't allow any points, surrendered 216 yards, and forced 3 turnovers for 22 points, and Najee Harris, who racked up 81 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (16.6 points). But James's Genius Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Christian McCaffrey (72 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 65 Rec Yds) and Mike Evans (5 Rec, 75 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). James's Genius Team (2-0) will look to maintain their momentum against KINGER 3, while BIG POPA (0-2) will face Damien's Astonishing Team in an effort to earn their first W.
