WarEagle earned a 119.9-103.0 victory over Hooligans despite posting only the 13th-highest point total in the league for the week. WarEagle grabbed an early 6.2-point lead on Thursday. Hooligans came back to take the lead during the late slate on Sunday, powered by A.J. Green (9.6 points) and Darrell Henderson Jr. (9.4). Not to be deterred, WarEagle got it going later that night, as Carson Wentz (25.8 points) put them back ahead for good.

Everybody can't be a winner, especially if you're Hooligans. They've dropped their last three matchups.

Even the computers think WarEagle have a better-constructed roster. They have a higher projected points average (149.5) than Hooligans (140.12).

Don't worry Hooligans, just because you lost doesn't mean it's all over. But you really should have won. Give that a whirl next week!
