Scores use real ESPN game logs, the injury report, and opponent defensive splits. They are not projections and not betting advice.
Matchup yards are ESPN's opponent splits for the defenses facing this week's lab pool. The factor compares a defense with that slate average. It is not a league-wide defensive ranking.
