Eastern Conference—
Capitol Division: Philadelphia, Washington, Dallas, New Orleans
American Division: NE, Buffalo, NYJ, Miami, Houston
Century Division: Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NYG, St Louis

Western Conference—
Central Division: Minnesota, GB, Chicago, Detroit
Continental Division: Oakland, SD, Denver, KC, Cincinnati
Coastal Division: SF, LA Rams, Baltimore, Atlanta

I think there could be some arguments for a few trades—Cincinnati, Baltimore & Atlanta should move east. Houston, New Orleans, and Dallas are better suited in the west.

Yeah, I've done that too. Since the theme for division names was 7-letter words starting with "C", I thought of Classic and Country for the former AFL East and West, respectively.

I agree with your trades and will raise you further: Atlanta and Baltimore to the Capital; Dallas, Houston, and New Orleans to the Country; Oakland and San Diego to the Coastal; Cincinnati to the Century; and the NY Giants to the Classic.
