Toyota Roster Tune-up

• It's OK, Hooligans. Losing happens. Not necessarily to Toyota Hall of Famers, but to other folks, sure.
• Whoever gave you this advice, you might want to lose their number. Picked up and started the Indianapolis Colts Defense, which then scored below their 8.01-point projection with 2.00 points.

• At the DEF position, Hooligans got outscored 24.00 - 2.00 by PITCH.

Game Notes

• The tragedy of being an underachiever is that Hooligans knows what they should be, but reality keeps telling them that they're wrong. They scored 76.69 points against a projected 105.41 and underachieved for the fourth time this season, including the last three weeks in a row.
• Speed, strength, agility, vision, and intelligence. It was all on display this week when the RBs on PITCH collectively had their best week of the season with 22.10 points.

• PITCH improves to 1-3 in blowout games this season.
• It was quite a beating for Hooligans, who now is 2-1 in blowouts this year.
