AFC/NFC debate

I think I'm just about ready for people to stop the "the AFC is so far superior to the NFC" talk.  Last year in NFC/AFC games, each team won the exact same amount.  Oh, and it was an NFC team that won the Big One at the end over the "immortal" Patriots.  After week 1 in 2008 the NFC leads 3-1.  And those NFC wins were over two of the AFC's top contenders (San Diego and Indianapolis) and the third was over an almost certain playoff team (Cleveland).  All three games were also played in the AFC team's home stadium.

I'm not going to argue for the dominance of the NFC, but it's not quite as clear cut of a line as most AFC fans would like to think it is.  Don't forget that the toughest division in football by FAR is the NFC East.
