NFL divisions are kind of a nonsense. The Packers (4 wins, 2 losses) are now 3rd in the NFC North. The Cowboys (2 wins, 4 losses), who they beat, are now 2nd in the NFC East.

Even seeing it just as a scheduling tool it's kind of bizarre from a sporting perspective. You play your division partners in 6 of your 17 regular season games (35%). Having a weaker division is a massive benefit.

Combining divisions or just getting rid of automatic progression for top placed teams in the division would help.
