Playoffs?!

A friend offers this statistical breakdown:


I went through season-ending records and discovered this:

* in games outside their division, NFC East teams went 26-13-1; NFC South teams went 28-12; NFC Central, 13-27; NFC West, 10-30.
Basically, I think you could take the bottom 4 teams in the East and South - Dallas, Wash, Bucs, Saints - and they'd win the other divisions. Maybe the Vikes are good enough and better than those other 4 non-playoff East/South teams. Maybe.
The Vikes, fyi, had the best out-of-their-division record of any Central/West team, going 6-4 against non-Central teams. The Eags went 7-2-1.
