THE DEFENSE DESK

tackles · solo tackles · sacks · built 2026-09-08 22:56 UTC

Every defensive prop the books have posted so far — 75 lines across 3 games (DAL@NYG, NE@SEA, SF@LA) — beside what each player actually did in 2025 and how often he was on the field. Books hang these close to kickoff, so the rest of the slate fills in as the week goes.

Tackles + assists

Posted line against the player's 2025 per-game average. A positive gap means last year's rate cleared this year's number. Books sometimes hang different numbers on the same player — each line is its own row, marked alt, because the best price at 0.25 is not comparable to the best price at 0.5.

Best available price across DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers and Bovada. 2025 averages are regular-season per game from nflverse; snap share is that player's average share of his defence's snaps. 4 line(s) had no 2025 baseline — rookies and players who changed roles. Nothing here is a projection: it is the posted number next to what happened last year.
