PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Dallas Cowboys Higher

The offensive edge favors the Dallas Cowboys because the unit has the better week-to-week floor. It can keep moving even when the first answer is taken away. Tennessee's strongest counterargument is Defense. The Tennessee Titans own the higher defensive grade, although the unit still falls short of the strength range.

Dallas also brings the deeper roster. Dallas adds the steadier quarterback room. The Dallas Cowboys still deserves the higher PFM rating.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Tennessee Titans’ Best Argument

The defensive concern is smaller for Tennessee, but it has not disappeared. The defense advantage is a real point in Tennessee's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Tennessee is that Dallas counters with the more dependable offense and the deeper roster.
