In my opinion, no, the Bears are probably the best team in the NFC and they only went 2-2 against the AFC with their wins coming against the Jets and the Bills. And their losses from the Patriots and the Dolphins. I can't see the Bears beating any of the AFC division winners (They lost to the pats, Indy's pass defense would make Grossman look ridiculous, The Sandiego offense makes New England's look bad, and the "powerful" Bears defense couldn't stop them. And finally the Ravens may be the most well rounded team in the NFL)

WHat are your thoughts?

When the Bears lost Tommie Harris they fell back to the pack.
While it is true that none of the NFC teams are as strong as the AFC teams on paper let us not forget that the NBA champion came out of the "inferior" Eastern conference and the World Series champ came from the "weak" National league.
That's why they play the games.
