Biguns knock off TMT in 397.53-237.50 blowout

Biguns stepped up and beat expectations, cruising to a 397.53-237.50 victory over TMT, who fell short of projections. Biguns took an early 29.60-point lead on Thursday. TMT came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by Justin Herbert (53.5 points) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (39.8). Not to be deterred, Biguns rallied later that afternoon, as Jalen Hurts (76.03 points) and DeVonta Smith (28.7) put them back ahead once and for all. Biguns (3-2) will look to keep it rolling against Redzboyz, while TMT (4-1) will meet KING BEAST in an effort to get back on track.
