PFM JUDGMENT
Why PFM Rates the Philadelphia Eagles Higher
Defense is one of the clearest reasons the Philadelphia Eagles sit higher. The unit gives the offense more chances to recover from a bad drive. The Dallas Cowboys are closest in offense, where the teams remain essentially even.
Philadelphia also brings the stronger coaching operation. Philadelphia adds the deeper roster. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase Philadelphia's clear overall advantage.

DALLAS’ BEST PUSHBACK
Offense Is Dallas’ Only Close Fight
Dallas' offense gives the team one place to push back. Dallas sits only 0.5 points behind Philadelphia in Offense, but close is not the same as an edge. Philadelphia still has Jalen Hurts at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Cowboys cannot match in this comparison.
