Makes leading the division look even better.
Almost every “pundit,” including the Cold, Hard Football Facts, had pegged the AFC East as the weakest division in football – or at least in the AFC – heading into the 2006 season. Turns out, it's the strongest. The Jets are a surprising 8-6; the Bills have come on strong and now stand at 7-7. The Dolphins are the only team in the division with a losing record (6-8), but have pulled off a number of shockers, including a smackdown of NFC powerhouse Chicago and a humiliating shutout of AFC powerhouse New England, the division leader.
There's only one way to measure divisions relative to each other: Find out who has won the most games out of their division. Here’s a look at how each division measures up in out-of-division play:
Division Record Win % Opposing Divisions*
AFC East 20-14 .588 AFC South, NFC North
AFC South 19-15 .559 AFC East, NFC East
AFC North 20-16 .556 AFC West, NFC South
AFC West 18-16 .529 AFC North, NFC West
NFC East 19-17 .528 AFC South, NFC South
NFC North 17-21 .447 AFC East, NFC West
NFC South 15-21 .417 AFC North, NFC East
NFC West 13-21 .382 AFC West, NFC North
