Smooth Moves by Cow

• A higher score than your opponent is a guaranteed way to win each week. Thank the Toyota Hall of Fame for that valuable insight.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Sometimes 127.20 is enough. Unfortunately, the Toyota Hall of Fame has confirmed this time it's a smaller number than 133.25.
• Made a mistake in not starting Tyreek Hill, who ranked 10th in the league in scoring and topped his scoring projection by 165.0%, the sixth-highest percentage in the league.
• Should have started the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense, which beat their scoring projection with 17.00 points against a projected 9.15.
• It's tough to win when your team leader gets embarrassed like this. At the QB position, Hash got outscored 27.85 - 1.90 by Cow.
• Hash fell short at the K position, getting outscored 16.00 - 3.00 by Cow.
