The AFC is the same way where 7 teams finished above .500 and than Jacksonville and the Raiders were 8-8.

So for all of you whining about a team beating up on teams without winning records...guess what, half the league is made of teams that posted a losing record and many teams with winning records, had those records because they beat the teams they should.

To take that a step further....I dont believe there is such a thing as an "easy" schedule in the NFL. Its a tough hard bruising business and indeed league, and there are very few "easy" games. Every week we see upsets, that should tell you something.

Yes some teams have easier schedules than others, but none of them are easy.
