PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Atlanta Falcons Higher

The Atlanta Falcons have more ways to create a sudden scoring chance. That big-play ability can change field position before a defense settles in. The Tennessee Titans are closest in coaching direction, where the teams remain essentially even.

Atlanta also brings fewer roster problems. Atlanta adds the less severe defensive concern. That is enough to keep the Atlanta Falcons ahead.

TENNESSEE’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is Tennessee’s Only Close Fight

Robert Saleh gives Tennessee one place to push back. The Titans are only 0.3 points behind Atlanta in Coaching Direction, but that is where Tennessee's case ends. Atlanta still has Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback and fewer roster problems, two advantages the Titans cannot match in this comparison.
