THE WIDER PICTURE

Saints -5.2 -1.1 -4.1 +11
Bengals -4.0 +0.5 -4.5 -3
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

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 AL-Saints against zach_13. — the men, not the teams
zach_13. leads it 1-0. zach_13. won the last one.
1 meeting avg 27.0 — 35.0 biggest: 8 pts to zach_13.
S1 · week 12 AL-Saints 27 — 35 zach_13. ZACH_13.
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.
