NFL Standings Week 7: Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, Patriots, Lions and Colts Division Leaders

Oct 15, 2013 01:45 PM EDT

The NFL schedule is now moving into Week 7 after the Indianapolis Colts lost to the San Diego Chargers on Monday night football and the first game of the new week will be on Thursday and will have the Seattle Seahawks taking on the Arizona Cardinals in an NFC West divisional matchup.

The Denver Broncos are playing one of the most anticipated games of the entire season in Week 7, as they will be heading to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in what will be the first time Peyton Manning returns to the city since he was released. Andrew Luck and the Colts may have been looking a bit past their game against the Chargers, as they had a number of drops and did not look impressive on the road. Now the two teams will meet up and the Broncos are currently 6-0 and in first place in the AFC West, while the Colts are 4-2 and are in first place in the AFC South heading into the matchup, since everyone else in their division lost this week.

The NFC East is still terrible and tight, as they are the only division in football without a team over .500, as the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are tied atop the standings with 3-3 records this year. The following two teams have combined for one win with the Redskins at 1-4 and the New York Giants at 0-6.

The North division also has two teams at the top with the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions tied at 4-4, but the Lions defeated the Bears already this season and behind them are the improving Green Bay Packers and the 1-4 Minnesota Vikings. The South division looks wrapped up already with the New Orleans Saints at 5-1 after losing to the Patriots and they have the 2-3 Panthers, 1-4 Falcons and 0-5 Bucs behind them.

In the NFC West, the Seahawks are up over the 4-2 49ers and behind are the 3-3 Rams and the 3-3 Cardinals, making the NFC West the exact opposite of the East with all teams at .500 or better this season so far. The AFC looks stronger so far this season and at the top are the Chiefs and the Broncos, who are each 6-0 in the AFC West over the 3-3 Chargers and the 2-4 Oakland Raiders.

The AFC south has the Colts over the Titans, Texans and Jags, all of whom lost this week and now they must face against the undefeated Broncos in Week 7. The North has the Bengals at 4-2 over the 3-3 Ravens and the 3-3 Browns while the Steelers are 1-4 and in the East, the Patriots are tops at 5-1 after coming back against the Saints. The team now has an edge over the Miami Dolphins at 3-2 and the Jets at 3-3 while the Bills are 2-4 this season.
