10 teams in this league have a combined 4 wins and 2 of those wins was against eachother.
If the ineptitude of the bottom dwellers of this league keeps up the win rate of the top half of the NFL will swell to heights never seen before.
Lets look at the AFC
The Jets and Patriots both look to have solid teams and are exposed to two weak divisions. Cincy, Baltimore, Pitt also have somewhat, but not exceedingly tougher schedules.
Between these 5 teams at the very most 4 can make the playoffs and that leaves out the Denver/SD dynamic.
I haven't run down all the permutations, but I can certainly see these teams trading wins with eachother and just dominating the rest of the league leaving perhaps one 11 win team out of the playoffs on a tiebreaker.
The NFC is not much different however the "middle class" of the NFC is strong enough to muster a few splits with the upper class of the NFC. Teams that could be caught out with perhaps a 10 win season are the Bears/Packers/Falcons/Cardinals dynamic assuming they can't win their own division.
