PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Dallas Cowboys Higher

The Cowboys can create offense in more than one way. One bad matchup is less likely to shut down the entire scoring approach. Philadelphia's strongest counterargument is Defense. The Philadelphia Eagles have the more dependable defense. It does not need the offense to answer every possession to keep control of a game.

Dallas also brings the steadier quarterback room. That is enough to keep the Dallas Cowboys ahead.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Philadelphia Eagles’ Best Argument

The Philadelphia Eagles own the stronger defense. More dependable stops give the offense better field position and keep one bad drive from controlling the day. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Dallas still answers with the more dependable offense and the steadier quarterback room, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
