Right now three divisions have teams tied at the top of the Standings. In two other divisions teams are separated by just one game.
The marquee game this weekend will take place in Indianapolis where the Denver Broncos will face the Colts, in what has been billed as Peyton Manning’s homecoming. The Broncos hope to remain undefeated and keep pace in the AFC West with the NFL’s surprise team of this season the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will play host to the disappointing Houston Texans.
