Yokels come up short of predictions, succumb to Sea Devil in 121.43-77.56 runaway

There's no way around it, Yokels didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Sea Devil rolled to a 121.43-77.56 win. This one was over before it really even started, as Sea Devil leapt out to a 44.08-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 49.48 points from Miles Sanders (144 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 11 Rec Yds) and Josh Allen (147 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 47 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). This marks the second time this season Sea Devil have gotten the best of Yokels, after winning 144.86-101.35 in their last matchup. Sea Devil (9-5) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs. Yokels will be home for the playoffs, finishing the season at 6-8.
