Overall record would win the division. Division record only comes into play to break a tie. For instance, if both teams finished 10-6 but team A was 3-3 in the division and team B was 4-2 in the division then team B would win the division based on a better division record.

Overall record. The NFL could care less about the division records. It is a simple matter of overall wins vs. losses.

the team with the best overall record would win the division, but in case of a tied overall record, the team who had the best division record would win the division.

Overall record wins out.
In case of a tie, head-to-head is the first tiebreaker, followed by division record, then conference record.

Overall record counts first. In the event of a tie, the first tiebreaker is head to head, and then division record.
