Lopsided divisions leave 6-3 Packers in last place and 3-5 Panthers in first place

Back-to-back wins have the Green Bay Packers on a roll with a 6-3 record headed into the second half of the NFL season.The Carolina Panthers have lost three straight and have a 3-5 mark.Yet amazingly, the Packers currently sit in last place in the historically tough NFC North, while the Panthers are in first thanks to another season of mediocrity for the NFC South.All four teams in the North have at least six wins with Chicago on top at 7-2, a half-game ahead of both Detroit and Minnesota at 6-2.This marks the second time in NFL history that every team in a division is three games over .500, according to Sportradar, the AFC North pulling it off after Week 12 in 2014.The North teams have 25 combined wins and are on pace for the most since the 2002 realignment set two years ago when those same four teams combined for 45 wins.
