We've been charting the NFC South's remarkable success at home most of the season. Heading into the final week, here's where things stand.
The four division teams are a combined 26-3 at home this season. That's an .897 winning percentage. To clinch the all-time mark for best home record by a division, just one of the three NFC South teams playing at home Sunday needs to win.
Tampa Bay is home with Oakland, Atlanta hosts St. Louis and Carolina travels to New Orleans. If all three home teams lose, the division will tie the record for best home record. Here's a look at the best division home records in history.
| Best Combined Winning Percentages by a Division (Since 1970) | | Season | Division | W-L-T | Pct | | 2003 | NFC West | 26-6-0 | .813 | | 1988 | AFC Central | 25-7-0 | .781 | | 1971 | AFC West | 20-6-2 | .769 | | 1988 | AFC East | 30-9-1 | .763 |
