![IDP Matchups and Stat Trends - Week 10](https://footballguys.imgix.net/nfl-action-photos/sdgxxx99_H.jpg?auto=format,compress&w=730)
The Footballguys IDP Matchup Spreadsheet tracks trends around the league to help evaluate IDP matchups. I’ll use this article to call out some interesting numbers in the data each week.

SCHEDULE TAB
The Schedule tab was a recent addition to try and help someone quickly identify favorable matchups each week. I pulled in some key metrics for the defense as well as the offense they are facing this week.
When I look at matchups for this week, these are the ones that look MOST FAVORABLE from a tackling perspective (with some notes if the matchup is particularly unfavorable for run vs pass):
- LA CHARGERS (vs Detroit) – Lions offense generates 57 tackle opps/game (29 rush/25 pass)
- BALTIMORE (vs Cleveleand) – Browns offense generates 56 tackle opps/game (34 rush attempts)
- CLEVELAND (at Baltimore) – Ravens offense generates 56 tackle opps/game (33 rush attempts)
- DALLAS (vs NY Giants) – Giants offense generates 55 tackle opps/game (29 rush attempts)
- MINNESOTA (vs New Orleans) – Saints offense generates 55 tackle opps/game (25 completions)
In contrast, these matchups look LEAST FAVORABLE from a tackling perspective (with some notes if the matchup is particularly unfavorable for run vs pass):
- GREEN BAY (at Pittsburgh) – Steelers offense generating 45 tackle opps/game
- NY JETS (at Las Vegas) – Raiders offense generating 46 tackle opps/game
- WASHINGTON (at Seattle) – Seahawks offense generating 46 tackle opps/game
- LAS VEGAS (vs NY Jets) – Jets offense generating 46 tackle opps/game
- PITTSBURGH ( vs Green Bay) – Packers offense generating 46 tackle opps/game (20 completions)
You may also want some help picking out matchups for pass rushers. These are some that look MOST FAVORABLE to me from a pass-rush perspective:
- DALLAS (vs NY Giants) – Giants allowing 5.4 sacks/game
- SEATTLE (vs Washington) – Commanders allowing 4.9 sacks/game
- LAS VEGAS (vs NY Jets) – Jets allowing 4.0 sacks/game
- CHICAGO (vs Carolina) – Panthers allowing 3.6 sacks/game
- TAMPA BAY (vs Tennessee) – Titans allowing 3.6 sacks/game
