PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Jacksonville Jaguars Higher

Quarterback is the clearest separator. Trevor Lawrence gives Jacksonville more certainty than the New York Giants have at the position. 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. The Jacksonville Jaguars still deserves the higher PFM rating.

NEW YORK’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is New York’s Only Close Fight

John Harbaugh gives New York one place to push back. New York sits only 0.7 points behind Jacksonville in Coaching Direction, but close is not the same as an edge. Jacksonville still has Trevor Lawrence at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Giants cannot match in this comparison.

How to Read This Comparison
