Serious question: What teams are the 'class of the NFC.'?
When you really break it down, you can make the case for every team in the NFC that has a winning record of 8-3 or above isn't legit.
You can make the case that Green Bay hasn't played anyone. But then who does that leave? Eagles have benefited from huge ST's plays that can't be relied on for the remainder of the season; Dallas clearly still has serious flaws on defense that are masked by ball/clock control of the offense; Arizona's fundamentally flawed at QB; Seattle can be inconsistent offensively/defensively; Detroit has issues on offense, and their defense doesn't look as dominant prior to this past week.
There are no NE's/Denver's in the NFC. I think each person can make a legitimate case going either way for anyone of those teams listed above being contenders/pretenders.
