PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Baltimore Ravens Higher
The Baltimore Ravens own the stronger defense. More dependable stops give the offense better field position and keep one bad drive from controlling the day. Dallas' strongest counterargument is Coaching Direction. Dallas has the better coaching grade here, although the staff still has more to settle than the rating leaders.
Baltimore also brings the bigger big-play threat. Baltimore adds the deeper roster. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase Baltimore's clear overall advantage.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT
Dallas Cowboys’ Best Argument
The coaching edge leans toward the Dallas Cowboys because Baltimore carries even more uncertainty. The coaching direction advantage is a real point in Dallas' favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Dallas is that Baltimore counters with the stronger defense and the bigger big-play threat.

How to Read This Comparison
