Book of Eli come up short of predictions, succumb to SIXBURGH, 107.14-93.84

There's no way around it, Book of Eli underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as SIXBURGH emerged victorious with a 107.14-93.84 win. Book of Eli took a 15.00-point lead on Thursday, but SIXBURGH held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Kyler Murray (191 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 56 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Austin Ekeler (20 Rush Yds, 60 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Tom Brady (22.04 points) and Rachaad White (15.4) did their part for Book of Eli in the loss. This marks the first time this season SIXBURGH have gotten the best of Book of Eli, after falling 127.28-94.92 in their last matchup. SIXBURGH (5-7) will look to add to their success against LoKCed & Loaded, while Book of Eli (4-8) will meet IllegalALIENs in an effort to get back on track.
