The Take · Preview

Nineteen seasons in and Spencer still owns this series 19–8 — but Joel has made a habit of saving his best for the bracket, and that 2–1 playoff edge is the number that actually keeps the commissioner up at night. These two have traded some of the highest-scoring games in league history, including a 344-point shootout back in 2011, so the talent ceiling when this matchup gets going is genuinely absurd. Week 9 has history here too — that 2013 regular-season meeting went down to a 1.65-point margin, which means Joel knows exactly how close he can cut it before Spencer blinks.
