Why PFM Rates the Los Angeles Rams Higher

Quarterback is where the Los Angeles Rams have their cleanest advantage. With Matthew Stafford, the offense has a better floor when the first answer stops working. The New York Giants are closest in coaching direction, where the teams remain essentially even.

Los Angeles also brings the more dependable offense. Los Angeles adds the deeper roster. That is enough to keep the Los Angeles Rams ahead.

NEW YORK’S BEST PUSHBACK

Coaching Direction Is New York’s Only Close Fight

John Harbaugh gives New York one place to push back. The Giants are only 6.1 points behind Los Angeles in Coaching Direction, but that is where New York's case ends. Los Angeles still has Matthew Stafford at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Giants cannot match in this comparison.
