Nice analysis. Whichever teams come out on top of the NFC North and East - they will not get deep in the playoffs if they don't get their shit together and find some consistency.
I was thinking about breaking down the AFC as well, though it looks fairly obvious at this point who's in and who's out. With the exception of the AFC West, all of the division leaders have a 2-3 game lead - pretty obvious who the favorites are there. In the AFC West it's going to be Denver, and pretty much everyone knows it (excepting perhaps those in the Kansas City region). KC will be the #5 seed.
The only real question in the AFC is: Which team is going to end up with the #6 seed and a flight home after losing on the road in the wildcard round?
Projection - 1) Denver 2) New England 3) Indianapolis 4) Cincinnati 5) Kansas City
6) ?????
