Packers +3.3 -4.4 +7.7 +11
Vikings -18.6 -2.4 -16.2 -13

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.
THE SERIES Study Problems against Bosskoss21 — the men, not the teams
Study Problems leads it 2-0. Study Problems has won 2 straight.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
