VivaLasVegas earn win over Woverines in 169.66-122.10 beatdown

VivaLasVegas rose to the occasion and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 169.66-122.10 victory over Woverines, who fell short of projections. Woverines took a 27.50-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 27 points from the Carolina Panthers defense (9 Pts Allowed, 193 Yds Allowed) and Christian McCaffrey (31 Rush Yds). But it was all VivaLasVegas after that. They were led by the Cleveland Browns defense, who allowed only 6 points and gave up 47 yards for 35 points, and Derek Carr, who passed for 386 yards and 2 touchdowns (21.24 points). VivaLasVegas (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against 2BCON10U, while Woverines (1-2) face off against Titan in an effort to right the ship.
