In ESPN Fantasy Football, when looking at the matchup preview, there is a "line" value. What does this mean?

Question

When looking at a matchup between two teams, values are given for projected score for each team and a line. The line for one team is always the same as the other, but one is negative. What does this mean?

Answer 1

The "line" means their probability to win. I don't know how it's figured out, but I do know that if your team is +5 and the other team is -5 then you, will most likely win. Just remember it as + is good and - is bad

Answer 2

i dont get it then. I have the ADV in all but one category - and he only beats me by 3 in that category. (QB), and I am -72 for the line. it doesnt make sense to me.
