The NFC East is now the best division in the conference
John Schmeelk: Fact – It’s hard to argue otherwise, with the Eagles, Giants and Cowboys combining for a 10-2 record. The Eagles are the only undefeated team in the NFL, and the Giants and Cowboys are two of only four teams in the NFC that are 3-1. The NFC West has disappointed with the lackluster start from the Rams and Cardinals. The Bucs are in first place in the NFC South but only 2-2. The Saints, a popular playoff pick in the preseason, are only 1-3. The Packers and Vikings are 3-1, but the Lions and Bears lag behind the Cowboys and Giants. It is no longer the NFC Least, at least through the first four games of the season.

With that being said, at least through the first quarter of the season, no other group tops the East in terms of consistency.
Matt Citak: Fiction – The NFC East is the only division in the league with three teams sitting above .500 heading into Week 5. However, the NFC West is still the best division in the conference. All four teams in the NFC West are currently 2-2. The Seattle Seahawks have surprised many with their first month of the season, as Geno Smith currently leads the NFL by a wide margin with a 77.3 completion percentage. Despite losing Trey Lance, the San Francisco 49ers still have Jimmy Garoppolo to lead the offense and perhaps the best…
