Neghiu'sBoys lose to Titletown, 117.65-110.05

There's no easy way to put it, Neghiu'sBoys underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Titletown earned a 117.65-110.05 victory. Neghiu'sBoys jumped out to a 26.95-point lead on Thursday behind an outstanding effort from Tom Brady (379 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs). But Titletown held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Kyler Murray (32.45 points) and Tyler Lockett (22). Titletown (1-0) will look to rack up another W against Grabowskis, while Neghiu'sBoys (0-1) try to get back on track against Shadee's Back.
