How to read a matchup

Start with the teams, kickoff and saved lines, then read the overall summary and Key Factors. Compare each offense with the opposing defense in the possession tables. Rank 1 is best; lower allowed rates are usually better. No edge means a rank gap of at most 10 of 32 NFL teams, or 43 of 138 FBS teams (rounded from the same league-size proportion). Check Players and Injuries for availability, Context and flags for rest, travel and weather, and History for prior games. Statistics stop before the selected week. Missing figures are not zero. Statistical advantages are descriptive, not a prediction or betting advice.
