PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Las Vegas Raiders Higher

The offensive edge leans toward Las Vegas, but the rating still identifies the unit as a concern. New York's strongest counterargument is Roster Strength. 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.

Las Vegas still holds the overall PFM Team Score lead by 1.7 points. That is enough to keep the Las Vegas Raiders ahead.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

New York Jets’ Best Argument

The roster gap belongs to the New York Jets. It can lean on more than one unit when the offense or quarterback is not carrying the day. The roster strength advantage is a real point in New York's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for New York is that Las Vegas counters with the less severe offensive concern.
