keggerz Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) That thru 5 weeks that 41% of NFL teams are in or tied for first place in their division. The following teams are all in first or tied for 1st: AFCE Jets 4-1 AFCN Ravens 4-1 AFCS Texans 3-2 Jaguars 3-2 Colts 3-2 Titans 3-2 AFCW Chiefs 3-1 NFCE Redskins 3-2 Giants 3-2 Eagles 3-2 NFCN Bears 4-1 NFCS Falcons 4-1 NFCW Cardinals 3-2 That is 13 of 32 teams in or tied for 1st place...of the remaining 19 teams not in 1st place 9 are just 1 game back of first place in the loss column.

kingfish247 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 That thru 5 weeks that 41% of NFL teams are in or tied for first place in their division. And 31% of these teams have a bird as a mascot. Or 80% of the teams with birds as a mascot are in or tied for first place in their division. Suck it, Ornithophobians!
