What if the NFL went to 4 divisions once they went to 28 teams? Here’s my theoretical alignment

AFC EAST

NEW ENGLAND
MIAMI
NYJ
BUFFALO
PITTSBURGH
CLEVELAND
CINCINNATI

AFC WEST

INDY
KC
DENVER
OAKLAND
SAN DIEGO
HOUSTON
SEATTLE

NFC EAST

NYG
WASHINGTON
PHILLY
DALLAS
ATLANTA
NEW ORLEANS
TAMPA BAY

NFC WEST

ST LOUIS
SAN FRANCISCO
LA RAMS
DETROIT
CHICAGO
GREEN BAY
MINNESOTA

And unlike my normal philosophy, I tried to keep rivalries together

In 1976, Indianapolis played in Baltimore.

Time zone wise, keep Detroit in the East and move New Orleans to the West.

For NFC I'd do North/South

North: New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota
South: Atlanta, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, St. Louis, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco

I rolled my eyes at myself when I saw “Indy”! Yes, I’m an idiot! I post my new alignment below

Scmolik: your NFC looks good. My new AFC
