Back-and-forth battle ends with Raykins defeating Packer backer in 155.24-120.68 rout

What a whirlwind! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Raykins earned a dominant victory over Packer backer, rolling to a 155.24-120.68 win. Packer backer got out to an early 1.00-point lead on Thursday. Raykins came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by stellar showings from Patrick Mahomes (38.84 points) and Stefon Diggs (35.9). Not to be deterred, Packer backer made a run later that afternoon to take a 3.44-point lead behind Tom Brady (16.36 points). But Raykins came back again later that night, as Ezekiel Elliott (19.7 points) put them back on top once and for all. Raykins (1-1) will look to notch another W against OBJYN, while Packer backer (1-1) will attempt to get back in the win column against Tom's Team.
