PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Jacksonville Jaguars Higher

The Jacksonville Jaguars ask fewer questions at quarterback because Trevor Lawrence sets the floor of the offense. That stability matters when a game moves away from the opening script. The New York Giants are closest in coaching direction, where the teams remain essentially even.

Jacksonville also brings the more dependable offense. Jacksonville adds the deeper roster. PFM still has the Jacksonville Jaguars in front.

NEW YORK’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is New York’s Only Close Fight

John Harbaugh gives New York one place to push back. The Giants are only 0.7 points behind Jacksonville in Coaching Direction, but that is where New York's case ends. Jacksonville still has Trevor Lawrence at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Giants cannot match in this comparison.
