PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the New York Jets Higher

The New York Jets have more answers across the roster than the Las Vegas Raiders. The supporting lineup is less dependent on one quarterback or one unit carrying the entire team. The Las Vegas Raiders are closest in qb stability, where the teams remain essentially even.

New York also brings the less limited big-play ability. New York adds the less severe defensive concern. That is enough to keep the New York Jets ahead.

LAS VEGAS’ BEST PUSHBACK

QB Stability Is Las Vegas’ Only Close Fight

Kirk Cousins gives Las Vegas one place to push back. Las Vegas sits only 0 points behind New York in QB Stability, but close is not the same as an edge. New York still has the deeper roster and the less severe defensive concern, two advantages the Raiders cannot match in this comparison.
