Smooth Moves by Bigg Squad

• Reading this matchup recap is indicative of potential Toyota Hall of Famers. You're making Bigg Squad look really good right now.
• With 19.00 points, the Dallas Cowboys Defense scored the most points in a matchup for the first time this season.

• The 16.15 points scored by Blake Bortles outpaced his 12.28-point scoring projection by 31.5%.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Don't worry, Hooligans, the Toyota Hall of Fame says losing isn't contagious. But it is embarrassing. And you should be embarrassed.
• Did not start LeGarrette Blount, who scored 14.90 points and beat his projected point total by a team-leading 126.4%.
• Left Marqise Lee on the bench, where he led the team in scoring with 18.94 points.
• Could have started Jared Goff, who underachieved, but still had more points than the starting QB with 5.95 against a projected 14.02.
• 7 of the 8 starters scored less than their projected points.

What If

• Bigg Squad would be 5-9 if they played Hooligans every week.
• Besides Hooligans, Bigg Squad would have beaten only three other teams this week.
• If they played the same schedule as Hooligans, Bigg Squad would be 5-7.
• If Bigg Squad had played every team in the league each week, they would be 51-159.
• Hooligans would have lost to 13 other teams besides Bigg Squad this week.
• Timing really is everything. Bigg Squad would have lost to Hooligans 93.71 - 53.75 had they played each other last week.
• Hooligans would be 3-9 if they played the same schedule as Bigg Squad.
• Hooligans would be 69-141 if they played every team every week.
