Using defense vs position on a prop
Find the opponent
Say a quarterback's line is against the Detroit Lions. The row shows 297.7 passing yards per quarterback per game, 32nd of 32.
Compare with the league
The league average against quarterbacks is 229.3, so this defense gives up 68.4 more per quarterback. That puts it in the "Weak" bucket.
Check the recent games
Over the last 5 it is 285.2, lower than the season, so check whether the defense has improved. 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 the quarterback with the most pass attempts per game. 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.
