Hangovers come up short of predictions, find way to defeat Roughnecks, 126.85-121.45

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, but Hangovers did enough to get the best of Roughnecks. Predicted to win 143.36-135.95, Hangovers secured a 126.85-121.45 victory over Roughnecks. Hangovers jumped out to a 29.65-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 51.4 points from A.J. Brown (8 Rec, 133 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Ryan Tannehill (270 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD). Roughnecks came back to take the lead on Sunday night, powered by Jonathan Taylor (18 points) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (11). Not to be deterred, Hangovers rallied when it mattered most on Monday night, as Tyler Lockett (3.2 points) put them back on top for good. Hangovers (3-4) will look to keep it rolling against Norman Nobodies, while Roughnecks (3-4) will meet Lucky Enuf in an effort to get back in the win column.
