Steel City Mutt fall short of projections, lose to Dallas 60 in 156.10-122.00 blowout

There's no sugarcoating it, Steel City Mutt didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Dallas 60 rolled to a 156.10-122.00 victory. Steel City Mutt nabbed a 4.40-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Dallas 60 after that. They were led by the Indianapolis Colts defense (38.7 points) and Matthew Stafford (34.95). The Minnesota Vikings defense (24.8 points) and Alexander Mattison (19.7) carried the flag for Steel City Mutt in the loss. This marks the second time this season Dallas 60 have taken down Steel City Mutt, after winning 159.5-153.5 in their last matchup. Dallas 60 (10-3) will look to keep it rolling against Warriors, while Steel City Mutt (8-5) face MudDogs in an effort to get back on track.
