THE BETTER CASE
Where Each Team Has the Better Case
The current PFM Team Scores put the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots only 0.1 points apart.
The explosive-play advantage belongs to the New England Patriots. One chunk gain can rescue a drive that was otherwise going nowhere. The Green Bay Packers ask fewer questions at quarterback because Jordan Love sets the floor of the offense. That stability matters when a game moves away from the opening script. Both teams have a legitimate football argument, but neither owns enough across every category.
