PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Los Angeles Rams Higher

The staff edge favors the Los Angeles Rams. Sean McVay gives the team steadier direction than Las Vegas has on the sideline. The Las Vegas Raiders are closest in explosiveness, where the teams remain essentially even.

Los Angeles also brings the stronger defense. Los Angeles adds the deeper roster. That is enough to keep the Los Angeles Rams ahead.

LAS VEGAS’ BEST PUSHBACK

Explosiveness Is Las Vegas’ Only Close Fight

Las Vegas' big-play ability gives the team one place to push back. Las Vegas sits only 2.1 points behind Los Angeles in Explosiveness, but close is not the same as an edge. Los Angeles still has Matthew Stafford at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Raiders cannot match in this comparison.
