GLOSSARY · MATCHUP FLAG

PRIMETIME

The imported schedule identifies a nationally featured evening kickoff. This does not create a statistical edge.

Definitions describe how Matchup Lab computes and labels saved data. They are descriptive, not predictions, and not betting advice.

ATS COLDAn archived CFB against-the-spread record covered at most 20% of five or more decided lines. This historical label is informational, not advice.
ATS HOTAn archived CFB against-the-spread record covered at least 80% of five or more decided lines. This historical label is informational, not advice.
BACKUP QBThe imported availability report identifies the season starting quarterback as unavailable or replaced by a backup. Check the listed player and source date; this is not a numerical player-value adjustment.
BIG UPSET LAST WEEKA CFB team won its last game as an underdog of at least seven points.
BIG-PLAY EDGEAn elite explosive-play offense faces a defense allowing many big plays: NFL top 6 versus rank 27 or worse; CFB top 20 versus 105 or worse.
BODY-CLOCK GAMEThe saved matchup context identifies a kickoff at an unusual time relative to a traveling team's home time zone.
