Colts +9.6 +8.1 +1.5 +0

IN THE BOOTH
Jordan Hayes The armchair coach
Indianapolis controlled this game on the ground with 128 yards and nearly matched Jacksonville through the air, but 3 giveaways ended any chance they had—that's the whole story for the Colts right there.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

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 Nonoredd against It’s Just that — the men, not the teams
It’s Just that leads it 1-0. It’s Just that won the last one.

S2 · week 2 Nonoredd 28 — 35 It’s Just that IT’S JUST THAT
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.
