Lions +4.8 -3.7 +8.5 +4
Falcons -1.4 -3.1 +1.6 -7

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 MurdaCW against SL FeaRz — the men, not the teams
MurdaCW leads it 1-0. MurdaCW won the last one.
1 meeting avg 41.0 — 24.0 biggest: 17 pts to MurdaCW

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.
