PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Green Bay Packers Higher
Matt LaFleur is the coaching difference. Green Bay has the more dependable answers when the first answer stops working. The Carolina Panthers are closest in offense, where the teams remain essentially even.
Green Bay also brings the deeper roster. Green Bay adds the steadier quarterback room. PFM still has the Green Bay Packers in front.

CAROLINA’S BEST PUSHBACK
Offense Is Carolina’s Only Close Fight
Carolina's offense gives the team one place to push back. Carolina sits only 1 points behind Green Bay in Offense, but close is not the same as an edge. Green Bay still has Jordan Love at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Panthers cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison
