I've had the same exact thoughts from time to time. "Opponent just gave a better performance than us" is what I would get. I started keeping my players fresher with rotations and giving more win bonuses to the second game of the day as it seemed my team lost motivation during the second games. Not sure if it was just coincidence, but I stopped losing/drawing to those weak teams.
