EasyWin defeat The Afros in 124.80-78.66 drubbing

EasyWin stepped up and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 124.80-78.66 win over The Afros, who fell short of projections. EasyWin earned a 33.50-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Amon-Ra St. Brown and Dalton Schultz. St. Brown caught 9 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown for 18.9 points, while Schultz caught 4 passes for 31 yards and 2 touchdowns (15.1 points). The Afros came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Lamar Jackson (23.06 points) and the Miami Dolphins defense (18). Not to be deterred, EasyWin made a run later that afternoon, as Patrick Mahomes (19.4 points) and Kenneth Walker III (15.9) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the first time this season EasyWin have knocked off The Afros, after falling 126.22-79.58 in their last matchup. EasyWin (8-4) will look to earn another W against Hillmatic, while The Afros (3-9) try to right the ship against Running up that hill.
