3rd Place Game
Harambes Revenge @kryptocek vs @Shenanigator
Score: Harambes Revenge @kryptocek 143.54 | @Shenanigators 101.9
Coming into the matchup I thought the score would have been a little bit closer. Harambes Revenge @kryptocek had six players score in double figures while @shenanigator had five players score in double figures which would make you think it would be a close game but Harambes Revenge @kryptocek ended up winning by 40+ points. Comparing the players with one another Harambes Revenge @kryptocek won every match-up but one. This was where the difference in the game was. Dion Lewis scored 32 points at running back and Tyreek Hill and DeAndre Hopkins each scored 16 points for Harambes Revenge @kryptocek. The kicker and defense combo scored 37 points for Harambes Revenge @kryptocek while the duo scored 31 points for @shenanigator so this was not that big of a difference. The wide receiver unit for @shenanigator combined to only score 22 points which ended up being the difference in the game. Both of these teams had a great year but the star power of Dion Lewis is what ended up being one of the biggest difference makers this week. Congrats to Harambes Revenge @kryptocek for finishing in third place and @shenanigator finishing in fourth place.
