Comments on: The NFC is stronger than the AFC, as expected http://www.footballperspective.com/the-nfc-is-stronger-than-the-afc-as-expected/ NFL History and Stats Sun, 17 Nov 2013 05:14:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Seth Burn http://www.footballperspective.com/the-nfc-is-stronger-than-the-afc-as-expected/#comment-57726 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 05:14:33 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=15218#comment-57726 It’s pretty much a fluke. The AFC could easily be 3-4 in those games, and the H2H results won’t be predictive come February. However, the talking heads have a ton of airtime to fill, so it’s up to Carolina to make this happen.

As for the Jets beating the Saints, the Jets defense is pretty good, and the Saints offense outside of the dome is merely “strong” as opposed to “bullshit”. Bad luck for the Saints that their two toughest out-of-conference games were on the road. Lucky break for Carolina, although as you noted, they found a way to lose to Buffalo, a feat I expect the Jets to match.

That is an interesting stat.

The NE/NO game was pretty crazy.
Denver and KC will both have beaten whoever wins the NFC East
The Bengals beat Detroit on a 54-yard field goal at the end of the game
I still don’t know how the Colts beat the 49ers and Seahawks.
And I really don’t know how the Jets beat the Saints.
