PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the New York Jets Higher

The New York Jets have fewer places for an opponent to attack across the roster. That gives the team more ways to survive when one strength is taken away. The Las Vegas Raiders are closest in qb stability, where the teams remain essentially even.

New York also brings the less limited big-play ability. New York adds the less severe defensive concern. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase New York's slight overall advantage.

LAS VEGAS’ BEST PUSHBACK

QB Stability Is Las Vegas’ Only Close Fight

Kirk Cousins gives Las Vegas one place to push back. The Raiders are only 0 points behind New York in QB Stability, but that is where Las Vegas' case ends. New York still has the deeper roster and the less severe defensive concern, two advantages the Raiders cannot match in this comparison.
