Nearing the midpoint of the season, parity abounds. 24 of the 32 teams in the NFL have earned between three and five wins through Week 7. Nevertheless, some divisions have clearly outperformed others.
Divisional Power Rankings:
1. AFC West
The AFCW earns top billing by a slim margin. The defending Super Bowl champion Broncos are tied atop the division with the upstart Raiders at 5-2. Denver still fields a ferocious defense, while Oakland has learned how to win close games. The Chiefs have rediscovered their identity as a team that wins in the trenches and have four wins, including the last two in a row.
