Once again, the NFC North is poised to be the strongest division in football, at least through six weeks of the NFL season. Last year, the NFC North set records as the division finished 45-23 with a 66.2% win percentage and had three teams that won at least 11 games during the regular season.
This year, the Chicago Bears, who dragged the NFC North down with a 5-12 record in 2024, are even on the other side of .500 after their last-second win against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.
At the moment, here are the NFC North standings:
Together, they have a 64.3% win percentage, close to their record-setting mark in 2025. But it’s early in the year, right? Certainly, other divisions are close?
Well, that’s simply not the case. Below is the division-by-division win percentage breakdown in the NFL. To tell you the truth, the difference between the second-place division in the NFL, the NFC West, is about equidistant between the NFC North and .500.
So strap in, as the NFC North is at the top of the league again. The Packers have only played one of their six division games this year, their Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, so there’s still plenty of ballgame left even though Green Bay currently ranks atop the division.
