Matchup Score: A weighted score taking into account league average CB play vs. the totality of the CBs a WR is slated to face in a given matchup + how much we expect him to face each CB individually, not just the one he will see the most.
Advantage Score: A weighted score taking into account the skill gap between a WR and the totality of CBs he’s expected to face. A player of high caliber may have a poor matchup score but still have a strong advantage score and vice versa.
HOW TO USE
This chart shows how wide receivers match up against cornerbacks each week. It highlights where WRs line up, who’s covering them, and whether the matchup is favorable (green) or tough (red). Bettors can use it to find edges in player props, game totals, and parlays.
1. Player Props
- Overs: Look for WRs with green “Advantage Scores.” These WRs are projected to have an edge vs their CBs. Great for betting on over receiving yards or receptions.
- Unders: Red “Advantage Scores” signal tougher matchups. Consider fading these WRs on unders.
2. Team & Game Totals
- Multiple WR edges (lots of green): Offense may be in for a big day → consider leaning Over on team or game totals.
- Defenses with shutdown corners (lots of red): Passing game could stall → consider leaning Under.
3. Quick Betting Checklist
- Scan for green Advantage Scores (WR edges).
- Check sportsbook lines for receiving props.
- Consider game script (trailing teams = more passing).
- Consider betting Overs on good matchups, Unders on tough ones.
