PFM JUDGMENT

Why PFM Rates the Dallas Cowboys Higher

The offensive edge favors the Dallas Cowboys because the unit has the better week-to-week floor. It can keep moving even when the first answer is taken away. Philadelphia's strongest counterargument is Defense. 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.

Dallas also brings the steadier quarterback room. The counterargument matters, but it does not erase Dallas' clear overall advantage.

THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Philadelphia Eagles’ Best Argument

The Philadelphia Eagles have the more dependable defense. It does not need the offense to answer every possession to keep control of a game. The defense advantage is a real point in Philadelphia's favor, but it does not outweigh the rest of the higher-rated team’s advantages. The problem for Philadelphia is that Dallas counters with the more dependable offense and the steadier quarterback room.
