Divisional Strength
Hey APC! I just wanted to share some information. This is up-to-date as for 12/4 with the conclusion of the Redskins win over the Giants. I usually keep track of the standings on my own because I like to normalize the strength of a division by how they fare against their opponents outside of the division. Essentially, I am subtracting out the wins/losses against divisional opponents because they result in a win AND a loss in the standings.
Assuming everything is entered correctly:
As you can see, the AFC North fares the best outside of their division followed by the NFC North. The AFC West and the NFC East are the bottom feeders.
