While division races are looking like they are taking form, it's still probably too early to declare any team a winner or a loser. Even though some teams appear to be out of the race already, there are 10 games left and teams hoping to turn their dreadful starts around still have a chance. Instead of trying to look into the future, here are some week 7 games that should not disappoint.
Denver Broncos (5-1) @
Indianapolis Colts (3-3)
It's happened before and this time is no different. A star quarterback becomes the face of a franchise and a city and late in his career finds himself with another team. Peyton Manning is living this story and will get a chance to show the Colts what they are missing when he returns to Indianapolis to face the Colts. Indianapolis bounced back from a 2-game losing with a decisive victory over the San Diego Chargers. Meanwhile since their week 1 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Broncos have won 5 straight. In those 5 wins, they have outscored their opponents 198-85. To say the Colts will have their hands full on Sunday will be a huge understatement.
Baltimore Ravens (2-4) @
Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1)
The 2013 season has gone in completely different directions for these teams. The defending Super Bowl champions have lost four straight games while the Steelers are 4-1 and in second in the AFC North. There's no better time for the Ravens to show and prove than in a game against a division rival. If they can't do that, they'll be looking at a pretty steep hill to overcome for the remainder of the season.
Houston Texans (4-2) @
Kansas City Chiefs (4-2)
The Chiefs along with the Broncos have had a tough time as both clubs are dealing with an excessive amount of injuries this season. What makes the Chiefs' situation worse is that starting quarterback Alex Smith may only be able to play again around weeks 16 or 17 and it's unclear if the Chiefs will still be in contention at that point. As for the Texans, another strong start to the year won't be enough to satisfy fans anymore. The question will be whether or not they can compete in the playoffs. A win for the Texans will help quiet that question, at least for this week.
