PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Atlanta Falcons Higher
The Atlanta Falcons have the more dependable offense. The unit has more ways to create points when a game forces the team away from its preferred approach. New York's strongest counterargument is Defense. The New York Jets own the stronger defense. More dependable stops give the offense better field position and keep one bad drive from controlling the day.
Atlanta also brings the less uncertain coaching staff. PFM still has the Atlanta Falcons in front.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT
New York Jets’ Best Argument
The Jets can lean on their defense more than the Falcons can. That creates a better floor when the offense stalls or field position turns against the team. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Atlanta still answers with the more dependable offense and the less uncertain coaching staff, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
