PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Seattle Seahawks Higher

Mike Macdonald gives the Seattle Seahawks the stronger coaching operation. Preparation and in-game answers matter once the opening script no longer controls the game. The Las Vegas Raiders are closest in offense, where the teams remain essentially even.

Seattle also brings the stronger defense. Seattle adds the deeper roster. PFM still has the Seattle Seahawks in front.

LAS VEGAS’ BEST PUSHBACK

Offense Is Las Vegas’ Only Close Fight

Las Vegas' offense gives the team one place to push back. Las Vegas sits only 3.3 points behind Seattle in Offense, but close is not the same as an edge. Seattle still has Sam Darnold at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Raiders cannot match in this comparison.
