Guess the power may not have switched as most expected.

Tough to say if it's just the way the early season schedule has worked out, or if the AFC has more good teams than the NFC does. As I posted earlier, the AFC does seem like it could have a few more teams compete for playoff spots than what was previously thought at the start of the season. Certainly having teams like Kansas City and San Diego beat up on the NFC East and Indy going into San Fran and winning has been suprising. Even the AFC East has been beating up the AFC South thus far.
Will be interesting to see if this trend holds up thru the year. The NFC North is probably the most balanced Division so I would think they'll make some ground up on the AFC North. But the AFC West looks like it will probably dominate the NFC East, and the AFC East might fair pretty well against the NFC South.
