Can Peyton keep it up?Peyton Manning has put up some of the best numbers of his career 71.2% completion rate, 29 touchdowns, 119.4 passer rating in the Denver Broncos' 7 1 start. But his arm isn't what it used to be, which could become a greater factor as the weather turns, and his 37 year old body has taken a beating the past few weeks. The Broncos haven't run the ball particularly effectively. Their defense isn't the same even with Von Miller back. The AFC front runners live and die with Manning, putting a lot on K.J.

Will another title contender emerge in the AFC?The Kansas City Chiefs are the league's lone unbeaten, but the jury is out on whether their defense first formula can carry them in January.

Who's the cream of the NFC crop?Seattle's 29 3 blowout of the 49ers in Week 2 feels like an eternity ago. But the Seahawks are the top contender until proved otherwise especially with the injuries they've faced on both sides of the ball and the fact that dynamic receiver Percy Harvin has yet to make his debut. A short handed offensive line nearly gave away Monday's game at the St. Louis Rams. San Francisco has issues, too, but has won five consecutive games by an average of 22.6 points. And it's impossible to count out the Saints or Packers, who have the best quarterbacks of the bunch.
