Schmo & Goats fall short of predictions, lose to HUNGRY DOG in 111.43-80.32 landslide

There's no easy way to say it, Schmo & Goats underperformed, at least according to projections, as HUNGRY DOG rolled to a 111.43-80.32 victory. Schmo & Goats took a 27.70-point lead on Thursday behind standout performances from the Dallas Cowboys defense (23 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (4.7). But it was all HUNGRY DOG after that. They were led by Justin Herbert (317 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Jake Elliott (4-4 FG, 46 long, 3-3 XP). This marks the second time this season HUNGRY DOG have gotten the best of Schmo & Goats, after winning 111.28-88.42 in their last matchup. HUNGRY DOG (8-5) will look to keep it rolling against Sea Devil, while Schmo & Goats (11-2) will attempt to get back in the win column against Pickles.
