Is the author using "vs" as a synonym for "Against" in the headline?

The two expressions cannot be used interchangeably.

"X vs Y" seems to require that X and Y be "of the same type", whatever that means.

"X against Y" has no such restrictions.

When I read this headline, I come away thinking that there is some product with the proper name "The Case".

Same here. Hard to take an author seriously with such a boneheaded illiteracy in the title.
