Nick fall to Viva Las Raiders in 135.28-72.30 blowout

There's no sugarcoating it, Nick didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Viva Las Raiders rolled to a 135.28-72.30 win. Nick leapt out to a 21.00-point lead on Thursday behind an impressive effort from Tom Brady (297 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). But it was all Viva Las Raiders after that. They were led by Darrell Henderson Jr. (78 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 29 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Patrick Mahomes (397 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 31 Rush Yds). Viva Las Raiders (4-2) will look to maintain their momentum against stillmatic, while Nick (1-5) try to right the ship against Baby Chark.
