The NFL is thrilled about their Week 7 scheduling after putting the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts head to head, as it marks the return of Peyton Manning to Indy and the game is very anticipated and will be on Sunday night football starting up at 8:30 pm on NBA with Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth in the booth for the matchup from Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Broncos are playing some fantastic football and their last regular season loss game early last year and now they are 6-0 as they visit Indy for the road matchup and they come into the game after winning easily over the Jaguars last week, although they did not cover that historic spread that the game opened with and now they will play the Colts and the Redskins in the next two weeks. Manning is playing better football now than he has at any stretch of his career and one reason is the amount of weapons he has on the team in Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas and he has come through with 22 TDs and just two picks, while he is now completing over 70 percent of his passes on the season.

The matchup of Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning is a great test for both quarterback and the Colts come into the game after losing to the San Diego Chargers in the MNF debut for Andrew Luck last week on the road in California. The Broncos could have an undefeated record into their bye week if they can get past the Colts and the Redskins and then after that the team will play the San Diego Chargers coming off of the bye week and then they have the toughest three game stretch of the season. The Broncos have five divisional games in the second half, two of which come against the Chiefs in a home-and-home that will be sandwiched around a road matchup against the New England Patriots.
That game against the Pats could be the final regular season matchup for Manning and Tom Brady and that also could end up being one of the best matchups of the NFL season. After playing that stretch of three road games in four weeks the team has two games at home with the Titans and the Chargers and the team plays away on the road against the Houston Texans and then against the Oakland Raiders for the final matchup of the year and then they most likely and almost guaranteed will be in the playoffs. The Colts have their bye week after the Broncos game and they will have a stretch of three road games in four weeks as well.
The Colts started the season 4-1 before losing to the Chargers and they are still leaders in the AFC South division and with the Texans losing they were able to pull farther ahead and the second half of the season has tough games against the Cardinals, Titans twice and the Bengals as well as the Texans. The team finishes with a road game against the Chiefs and a home game against the Jags in Week 17. The game on Sunday night will be airing on NBC for Sunday night football and will be between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos in Week 7 and will be on the radio on NFL.com and the league Audio Pass.
