For years, New England Patriots fans have cultivated animosity toward Peyton and Eli Manning. For good reason: as starting quarterbacks for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos as well as the New York Giants, respectively, the two brothers were the Patriots’ main rivals for much of the Brady/Belichick dynasty
Oh, how the tables have turned. Not only are both long retired, Patriots fans can now actively profit from a Manning brother having success.
How? Let us introduce you to FanDuel’s Kick of Destiny.
Kick of Destiny, explained
Kick of Destiny is a head-to-head kicking competition between the two brothers that will be broadcast live on Fox during the Super Bowl pregame show on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 3 p.m. ET.
Each of the two will attempt a 25-yard field goal. If the first contestant makes the kick, the second will have a chance to tie; likewise, if he misses, the second is kicking for the victory. If no winner is decided after three rounds, the Manning who came closest to the center target in the last round will win on a tiebreaker
For the last two years, by the way, Rob Gronkowski was attempting the kick. He missed both years.

For the last few seasons, there was little excitement about the Super Bowl from a Patriots perspective. Now, their fans can at least get a little action — and it’s all due to the freaking Manning brothers
