PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Seattle Seahawks Higher

The Seattle Seahawks have the more dependable offense. The unit has more ways to create points when a game forces the team away from its preferred approach. The Los Angeles Chargers are closest in qb stability, where the teams remain essentially even.

Seattle also brings the stronger defense. Seattle adds the deeper roster. That is enough to keep the Seattle Seahawks ahead.

LOS ANGELES’ BEST PUSHBACK

QB Stability Is Los Angeles’ Only Close Fight

Justin Herbert gives Los Angeles one place to push back. The Chargers are only 1 points behind Seattle in QB Stability, but that is where Los Angeles' case ends. Seattle still has the deeper roster and Mike Macdonald leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Chargers cannot match in this comparison.
