Joel won the last meeting.
Scott leads this series 14–10 across 24 meetings, but Joel owns the playoff ledger 2–1 — and in a league where Octobers and Novembers are the only games that actually matter, that's the number worth watching. Week 8 is still regular season, but these two have a history of close ones (1.92 points separated them in 2022), and the kind of familiarity that comes from 24 head-to-head games has a way of making every matchup feel like a referendum on something. You've seen this movie. You just don't know which ending you're getting.
