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. Tennessee's strongest counterargument is Defense. The defensive concern is smaller for Tennessee, but it has not disappeared.

Dallas also brings the deeper roster. Dallas adds the steadier quarterback room. PFM still has the Dallas Cowboys in front.
