Defense vs position
College Football defense vs defensive linemen
PickFinder Team•Updated:
Opposing defensive linemen put up the most sacks against UAB: 0.7 per defensive lineman per game, 228th of 234, against a league average of 0.3. They put up the fewest against Notre Dame, at 0.
1st allows the least (toughest) and 234th allows the most (softest). These are 2026 numbers through about 8 games per team. Only teams with at least 4 games are listed. It counts every player in the group who recorded a defensive stat.
Green means opponents put up more of that stat, red means less. Ranks are never flipped, so a high rank on a stat like turnovers means opponents turn it over more against this team.

Using defense vs position on a prop
Find the opponent
Say a defensive lineman's line is against UAB. The row shows 0.7 sacks per defensive lineman per game, 228th of 234.
Compare with the league
The league average against defensive linemen is 0.3, so this defense gives up 0.4 more per defensive lineman. That puts it in the "Weak" bucket.
Check the recent games
Over the last 5 it is 1.1, higher than the season, so the matchup is not getting tougher. A big gap between the season and the last 5 is worth a look before you trust either one.
Then check the player
A matchup is one input. In the app, see how the player has done against today's exact line and compare every book's price.
How this is counted
Each number is what opposing players put up against this team, per game, averaged over the team's 2026 games. It counts every player in the group who recorded a defensive stat. Teams are ranked on that number league-wide: 1st allows the least, last allows the most, for every stat, with ties sharing a rank. Last 10 and last 5 are the same defense over its most recent games; a dash means too few games to rank (under 3 for L10, under 2 for L5). Computed each morning from every box score of the season, preseason excluded, and refreshed here by 8:40 AM ET. Teams with fewer than 4 games are left out of the tables (97 of 235), though ranks are still out of all ranked teams, so they match the app.
