You choose your own definition of best.

Without a doubt it's the NFC West, especially with the Rams turning things around. Not only that, but I'll easily take San Fran and Seattle over Chicago or Green Bay.

afc west

they have the best combined record

yea nfc west is better than north, you can argue afc west being better than nfc west depending on how much you buy into chargers.

I may be biased (Niners fan) but I think it's the NFC West. Two legit Super Bowl contenders in Seattle and SF and two middle-of-the-pack teams (with a decent amount of talent) in St. Louis and Arizona. AFC West also has an argument since they have the only two undefeated teams in the league, but the Chiefs have played a cupcake schedule the Raiders are dragging the division as a whole down.

My division power rankings:

1. NFC West
2. AFC West
3. NFC North (three legit playoff contenders in Chicago/GB/Detroit, a good team will miss the playoffs)
4. AFC East (drops after Miami lost 2 straight but NE is always dangerous)
5. AFC North (no real standout but 3 teams at .500 or better)
6. AFC South (due to Houston's implosion)
7. NFC South (outside of New Orleans, the other 3 teams are a combined 3-12)
8. SEC
9. NFC East (obviously, will probably only take 8 wins to make the playoffs)

I'd go with AFC West. KC and Denver are legit contenders, and the Chargers are pretty good this year. The Raiders suck but I don't think any division has four good teams. Even the NFC West, I don't think that highly of the Rams or Cardinals. NFC North is solid though but the Vikings are terrible.

Amazing how far the NFC West has come, a few years ago that division was an embarrassment to football unlike any before it.

You just had to remind me
