PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Seattle Seahawks Higher
The Seattle Seahawks have the more dependable defense. It does not need the offense to answer every possession to keep control of a game. Chicago's strongest counterargument is Offense. The Bears can create offense in more than one way. One bad matchup is less likely to shut down the entire scoring approach.
Seattle also brings the deeper roster. Seattle adds the stronger coaching operation. That is enough to keep the Seattle Seahawks ahead.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT
Chicago Bears’ Best Argument
The offensive edge favors the Chicago Bears because the unit has the better week-to-week floor. It can keep moving even when the first answer is taken away. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Seattle still answers with the stronger defense and the deeper roster, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
