Paulinia Robots Beats Amparo Bikers, Rises to 5th Place

Paulinia Robots beat Amparo Bikers 154.00 to 133.60 and got the highest score this season. A rally in prime time on Monday Night Football (40.00 MNF points, 30% of their final score) wasn’t enough for Amparo Bikers. Paulinia Robots took a 46.10-point lead on Sunday afternoon and maintained that advantage for the rest of the matchup. Amparo Bikers actually averages more per game in losses (124.02) than wins (123.18).

Sorocaba Wild Mules Picks Up Win Against Rio Claro Farmers to Capture 2nd Place

A rally on Sunday Night Football (41.12 points, 40% of their total score) wasn’t enough for Rio Claro Farmers, as Sorocaba Wild Mules got the 113.20 to 104.02 victory. The late-match efforts were somewhat unexpected, considering their original Sunday night projection was only 35.94 points. Sorocaba Wild Mules was led by Russell Wilson (315 Pas Yds, 1 2PT, 5 TD). Wilson passed for five touchdowns and provided 36.80 points to the final tally. It could have gone the other way had Rio Claro Farmers not had a starter score zero points (John Brown).

There was one starter on Rio Claro Farmers that failed to capitalize on opportunites. Despite being targeted eight times, Mark Andrews could manage just three catches. There are a few spots where Rio Claro Farmers really made a regrettable choice, unfortunately. Cooper Kupp could have started in place of either Brown or Russell Gage, while Sony Michel could’ve played over Leonard Fournette. Any of those point differentials would have changed the outcome.

Next week, Sorocaba Wild Mules plays Limeira Guara Wolf (1-2, 326.78), while Rio Claro Farmers faces Amparo Bikers (1-2, 371.22).
