Professor Chaos smirk at predictions, defeat Desertfoxes in 169.74-120.94 blowout

Professor Chaos beat their projected point total, rolling to a 169.74-120.94 win over Desertfoxes. Desertfoxes pulled out to a 22.20-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Professor Chaos after that. They were led by Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 163 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tom Brady (276 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs). The Chicago Bears defense (17 Pts Allowed, 248 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) and Terry McLaurin (11 Rec, 107 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leaders for Desertfoxes in defeat. Professor Chaos (2-0) will look to add to their success against Chillin with Mahomies, while Desertfoxes (0-2) will face off against Nah Son in an effort to get their first win.

Coach Talk

Professor Chaos
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid performance from Tom Brady, we tripled Desertfoxes at the quarterback position this past week (34.64 points to 10.34). Brady went 24-for-36 for 276 yards and five TDs in a 48-25 triumph over the Falcons.
Desertfoxes
Zero touchdowns and two interceptions for Jameis Winston against the Panthers this week. Zero wins and two losses for Desertfoxes on the 2021 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep bugging me, saying that this is the kind of coincidence we gotta stay away from.
