Which NFL Division Is Best?: NFC East Vs. NFC West

The journey continues to find the best division in the NFL.  This is the third article in a seven part, bracket-style series that pits one division against another.

Today, I'm going with the NFC East vs. the NFC West. 

Arizona's NFC championship makes this an intriguing matchup.  At one time the Cardinals were the red-headed step-child of the NFC East, as they were the only member of that division to never make it to a Super Bowl. 

They were kicked out of the division in favor of re-alignment in 2002.  Then, just six years later, they are NFC champs.

I will lay out the facts about the division and give you my all-division teams, but it is up to you to decide which division moves on to face the NFC South in the conference championship round.

There were 16 East vs. West regular season games last season and the East dominated with 11 victories. In postseason play, however, the Cardinals avenged an earlier loss to the Eagles to advance to the Super Bowl.
