The Take · Preview

Week 9, and Spencer and Joel are picking up a rivalry that stretches back nearly two decades — 27 meetings, and Spencer holds a 19–8 edge that Joel has never quite been able to close. The playoffs are a different story, though: Joel's taken two of three when it actually mattered, which is the kind of footnote that has a way of mattering again when the calendar starts turning toward November. The closest they've ever cut it was a 1.65-point margin right here in a Week 9 back in 2013 — so if you've seen this movie before, you know it doesn't always end the way the regular-season record suggests it should.
