Manning Brothers to Face Off in FanDuel’s Kick of Destiny 3

Peyton and Eli Manning, two of the NFL’s most iconic quarterbacks, are set to compete in FanDuel‘s ‘Kick of Destiny 3’ during the Super Bowl LIX Pregame Show on February 9, 2025. The brothers, who have a storied rivalry both on and off the field, will face off in a head-to-head kicking competition, with fans having the chance to win a share of $10 million in bonus bets by predicting the outcome.

The announcement was made in a new advertisement released by FanDuel, which has become a Super Bowl tradition. The ad features a playful exchange between the brothers, with Eli dreaming of becoming a kicker and Peyton mocking his younger brother’s aspirations. The spot includes flashbacks to their childhood, highlighting their competitive nature and the Manning family’s deep roots in football.

‘May The Best Manning Win,’ reads the tagline of the ad, which has already generated significant buzz among sports fans. The competition will be broadcast live on FOX, and fans can participate by making their free pick on the FanDuel app or website. The promotion is open to individuals who are at least 21 years old and physically present in select states during the promotion period.

FanDuel’s previous ‘Kick of Destiny’ campaigns, featuring former NFL star Rob Gronkowski, were wildly successful, with millions of fans participating and wagering over $300 million on the platform. Last year, fans who correctly predicted Gronkowski’s missed kick were awarded $25 in bonus bets.

‘The Kick of Destiny is becoming a great Super Bowl Sunday tradition, and I’m feeling really good about my chances to get the win,’ said Eli Manning in a press release. ‘I look forward to celebrating with everyone in America who picks me to beat Peyton.’

Peyton Manning, known for his meticulous preparation, has been studying film of great kickers and training hard for the competition. ‘Eli and I have always been competitive, and this is going to be a fun way to challenge each other in a completely different way,’ he said. ‘I’ve been studying film of great kickers and training hard to make sure I bring home the win for everyone in America who picks me to beat Eli.’

The Manning brothers’ participation in the ‘Kick of Destiny 3’ is expected to draw even more attention to the event, as fans eagerly await to see which brother will come out on top. The competition is not just about bragging rights; it’s also about giving fans a chance to win big while enjoying one of the most anticipated events in sports.
