Who is to say which division is the toughest. It's very subjective.
NFCN: 45-23
AFCW: 40-28
NFCE: 36-32
AFCN: 34-34
NFCW: 34-34
AFCE: 30-38
NFCS: 28-40
AFCS: 25-43
Where is the subjectivity?

uh . . . . .lmao
Biggs to try to turn over a new leaf. The stats might be OBJECTIVE but how they inform the question of the "toughness" of a division is . . SUBJECTIVE . . for example on this article that was likely part of your Google search.

"Not all paths to the playoffs are created equal.
Sure, it's the NFL and there's no such thing as an easy game. But the fact remains, more than one third of the schedule consists of division games — and no two divisions are the same.
With the 2024 season in view, what does that hierarchy look like? Which is the strongest, and which might present the easiest path to the postseason? Let's look into it.
1. AFC North
"The gold standard, in my humble opinion."

NFCE - If the Cowboys are ever good again, this division is super strong
NFCN - All good teams, none of them great,
NFCW - If the Cardinals are as good as everyone says they will be, this divison is on point
NFCS - Falcons have all the skill positions figured out, Panthers are much better in the redzone and Young appears to be the guy, Saints are trash.
All of the divisions are tough. No division is better than another for very long. It's staying the way it is, for now

too many times, people have recency bias but would probably rank it as you have it with the Bucs division as a distant 4th.
1. NFCE - The Cowboys didnt have their starting QB last year and still managed 7 wins. They will be better this year most likely and likely closer to the 10-12 win team. Eagles will be good again. Washington likely to take a step back but still a solid team. Let's call it 3 good teams in this division
2. NFCN - Lions and Packers will be contenders. Who knows what to say about Vikings with young QB and Bears. Would say there is potentially 4 good teams in this division
3. NFCW - 49ers are still good. I'd like to see them stink this year before we write them off. Rams are what they are. Seattle and Arizona are mid.
4. NFCS - Bucs have owned division the last 4 years but are essentially a .500 squad in the last 3 years. Still the cream of the division. Saints and Panthers stink and the Falcons are mid
Look at all the subjectivity!!!
I kid, I kid.
The Cowboys didnt have their starting QB last year and still managed 7 wins.
I though they lost 3 in row with Dak before he was injured?
Anyway, everything in the NFL is ever changing. Teams are ranked before the season on the strength of their schedule based on the season prior. The reality doesn't alway match
