Cincy has zero wins against teams over .500. They lead the AFC North
The Pats lead the AFC East at .500, having beaten only two teams with winning records.
Denver leads the AFC west with 5 wins over opponents over .500, with another win over your beloved patriots, and a close loss to the 1st place NFC East Giants. If quality of wins has anything to do with how good a team is, you can just give the SB title to the Broncos right now.
The NFC East leading Giants have only two wins against opponents over .500
NFC North leading Bears have zero wins against opponents over .500. Matter of fact, the entire division probably doesn't have a win against an opponent over .500.
Atlanta leads the NFC south and has a grand total of one win over .500+ opponents. Carolina has two.
Seattle leads the NFC west and has only two wins against opponents above .500
Everyone I named is likely to win their respective divisions, minus the NFC East and South. So following the above logic, all division winners are bad except Denver, because they're the only ones to win half their games against above .500 opposition.
P.S. When your defense is the second best in the game (only reason they aren't first is because Chicago has their stats boosted by playing horrible NFC North opponents) you don't need to put up 35 points per game like they did last year. I'm sure they're pretty darn happy they aren't leading the league in offense right now, because if they were it would mean they can't stop anyone and have to get into shootouts every week.

Worst case they go 13-3, with losses to Cincy, Pitt, and Jax.
I'd put my money on 15-1 or 16-0
