This is true. The east coast bias is in full play here. The AFC East may not offer a midwest alternative (as Miami, Buffalo, NJ, and Foxboro are all near the eastern coast) and the NFC East has just one (Arlington), so why the West division has to give up any geographical advantage here is lame.
Honestly though, had the NFL set this up this way from the beginning (i.e. the initial 8-year cycle of 2002-2009), then this would all be moot.
