Most people will pick the AFC North. Every team in that division is at least 7-5. I, however, am not picking that division. Want to know why? Because they play the NFC South this year, which happens to be the worst division in football. The AFC North is 11-2-1 in those games. That is padding the records of the AFC North.
The NFC West is the toughest division in football. The Rams are only 5-7, but they are getting better every week. That division plays the toughest defense in football and features the toughest home stadium, Seattle, in the whole NFL. You might be able to win against them, but they are going to beat the crap out of you in the process.
