Ripsnorters smirk at predictions, defeat Short Bus Ryderz, 135.52-127.66

Both teams brought their A game and exceeded their projected point totals, but Ripsnorters beat Short Bus Ryderz, earning a 135.52-127.66 win. Short Bus Ryderz jumped out to a 32.6-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 44.6 points from Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 163 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Nick Chubb (95 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). But Ripsnorters held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Derrick Henry, who racked up 237 yards from scrimmage and ran for 3 touchdowns for 42.7 points, and the New England Patriots defense, who allowed only 6 points, surrendered 336 yards, and intercepted 4 passes (19 points). Ripsnorters (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against Sunnydale Scoobies, while Short Bus Ryderz (1-1) meet WannaBes in an effort to get back on track.
