CAVIAR CARTEL fall short of predictions, lose to The Mid Rounders, 113.30-94.86

There's no sugarcoating it, CAVIAR CARTEL underdelivered, at least according to projections, as The Mid Rounders rallied to earn a 113.30-94.86 victory. The Mid Rounders trailed 94.86-75.70 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind Javonte Williams, who racked up 108 yards from scrimmage for 19.8 points, and Russell Wilson, who passed for 340 yards and a touchdown (17.8 points). Antonio Gibson (20 points) and Tyreek Hill (18) did their part for CAVIAR CARTEL in the loss. The Mid Rounders (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Motherboy, while CAVIAR CARTEL (0-1) attempt to right the ship against Keenan & Kelce.

Coach Talk

The Mid Rounders
Well done, The Mid Rounders. Putting together a lineup that recorded more than 113 points in Week 1. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into what ought to be a winnable Week 2 matchup.
CAVIAR CARTEL
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for CAVIAR CARTEL on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep telling me that this is the sort of "correlation" we should try to be avoiding.
