You'd have to play everyone home and away for it to be fair.
Like the EPL table.

Sorry, I didn't see your reply till after I had replied to clever Iggy. Yeah, I see your point exactly. I wasn't saying that the current format is unfair. I was just pointing out that despite the AFC and NFC West being weak divisions. Other teams also benefited from these weak divisions as much as the Cards and Chargers/Broncos did.
For every year like this year where we see numerous teams with poor records. There will be a year that all but 2 teams in a conference are mathematically alive with only two games left in the season. Every season is different.
