Junk has won 2 straight in this series
Eighteen meetings in, Joel holds a 12–6 edge — but Junk has taken the last two, which means the series momentum is sitting squarely on one side of this thing heading into Week 6. These two have produced some genuinely unhinged point totals together (332 combined in 2019, a 0.08-point finish in 2016), so if you're looking for a quiet, forgettable Thursday, wrong matchup. Joel knows what a two-game skid in a rivalry feels like from the other side of it. Now he gets to find out if he can stop a third.
