PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Las Vegas Raiders Higher

Las Vegas' offense is the less serious concern, but it still grades below the strength range. New York's strongest counterargument is Roster Strength. 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.

Las Vegas still holds the overall PFM Team Score lead by 1.7 points. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase Las Vegas' slight overall advantage.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

New York Jets’ Best Argument

The New York Jets have more answers across the roster than the Las Vegas Raiders. The supporting lineup is less dependent on one quarterback or one unit carrying the entire team. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Las Vegas still answers with the less severe offensive concern, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
