The NFC is just slightly better than the AFC right now.

This has become increasingly clear, but here's something in case any more evidence was needed. In 5 interconference games this week, the NFC went 5-0 while outscoring the AFC by a margin of 178-72. Now yes one of these games involved the Browns, but two of the teams that were steamrolled, the Bills and Dolphins, are still very much in the playoff race. On the other hand, it's entirely possible that a team like the Seahawks or Falcons could miss the playoffs. Can anyone remember the last time there was this much of a disparity between the two conferences?
