Smooth Moves by Bigg Squad

• If this were a dream sequence, you'd hear a deep voice announce, "Bigg Squad, the Toyota Hall of Famer." But it's not.
• Not the best, but in the conversation. Mark Ingram ranked ninth in the league in scoring this week with 31.10 points. It was also the third-highest score of any player on Bigg Squad this season.
• Cole Beasley scored 17.60 points against a projected 10.15 and has now overachieved in four straight games.
• By scoring 25.00 points, Blake Bortles beat his 15.14 projected points by 65.1%.
• Did you use any black magic this week? Bigg Squad was still able to pull out a win with only 4 of their 8 starters exceeding their projected points.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Funny, the Hall provides articles you could have studied. But instead you watched TexasTide cry trying.
• With 1.00 point, the Denver Broncos Defense was last in the matchup in scoring and got only 13.3% of their projected point total, which is their lowest percentage of the season.
• A heated blanket would be a great gift for Emmanuel Sanders during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in five straight games after scoring 9.70 points against a projected 15.35 this week.
• Brandon Marshall has now failed to reach his projection for four straight games. This week he scored 10.50 points versus a projected 14.71.
• Bigg Squad saw their RBs beat those on TexasTide 35.30 - 6.68.

What If

• If Bigg Squad played TexasTide every week, they would be 4-5 this season.
• Bigg Squad would have beaten seven other teams besides TexasTide this week.
• Had they played each other last week, Bigg Squad would have defeated TexasTide 129.95 - 109.77.
• Bigg Squad would be 3-5 if they played the same schedule as TexasTide.
• Bigg Squad would be 42-93 if they played every team every week.
• TexasTide would have lost to 13 other teams besides Bigg Squad this week.

• With the big win, Bigg Squad improves to 1-1 in blowout games this season.
• They may need to check dentals records to identify this victim. TexasTide had their worst loss of the season, losing by 42.07 points.
