PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Jacksonville Jaguars Higher

The offensive edge favors the Jacksonville Jaguars because the unit has the better week-to-week floor. It can keep moving even when the first answer is taken away. The Tennessee Titans are closest in franchise direction, where the teams remain essentially even.

Jacksonville also brings the deeper roster. Jacksonville adds the steadier quarterback room. That is enough to keep the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead.

TENNESSEE’S BEST PUSHBACK

Franchise Direction Is Tennessee’s Only Close Fight

Tennessee's long-term direction gives the team one place to push back. The Titans are only 5.3 points behind Jacksonville in Franchise Direction, but that is where Tennessee's case ends. Jacksonville still has Trevor Lawrence at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Titans cannot match in this comparison.
