PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Philadelphia Eagles Higher

The roster gap belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles. It can lean on more than one unit when the offense or quarterback is not carrying the day. Chicago's strongest counterargument is Explosiveness. The explosive-play advantage belongs to the Chicago Bears. One chunk gain can rescue a drive that was otherwise going nowhere.

Philadelphia also brings the stronger defense. Philadelphia adds the steadier quarterback room. The Philadelphia Eagles still deserves the higher PFM rating.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Chicago Bears’ Best Argument

The Chicago Bears are the bigger threat to change a game with one play. Philadelphia has less room for a coverage mistake or missed tackle. The explosiveness advantage is a real point in Chicago's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Chicago is that Philadelphia counters with the deeper roster and the stronger defense.
