Why PFM Rates the Green Bay Packers Higher

Quarterback is where the Green Bay Packers have their cleanest advantage. With Jordan Love, the offense has a better floor when the first answer stops working. The New York Jets are closest in defense, where the teams remain essentially even.

Green Bay also brings the more dependable offense. Green Bay adds the stronger coaching operation. That is enough to keep the Green Bay Packers ahead.

NEW YORK’S BEST PUSHBACK

Defense Is New York’s Only Close Fight

New York's defense gives the team one place to push back. New York sits only 0.3 points behind Green Bay in Defense, but close is not the same as an edge. Green Bay still has Jordan Love at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Jets cannot match in this comparison.
