The third edition of FanDuel’s « Kick of Destiny » was back on Sunday, but it featured new faces in this go-round.
After Rob Gronkowski’s leg determined whether fans would receive a share of millions in bonus bets, this time, it was Peyton and Eli Manning’s turns.
The older brother Peyton was up first for a 25-yard kick, and his first attempt hooked left and never came close.

Eli then just needed to make his kick for the victory, but somehow, he managed to miss worse than his brother, coming up way short.
Peyton had a chance for redemption, this time from just 20 yards out. However, he doinked it off the right upright.
The New York Giants legend lined up for his 20-yarder as chants of « Eli » rang from the crowd, and it was, as Giants announcer Bob Papa would say, true blue.
Eli drilled the kick right down the middle with plenty to spare.
« This feels unbelievable. We earned this moment. I was grinding, been working so hard, and finally, to be a kicker, it just feels right, » Manning said, adding that he pulled a muscle in the competition.

FanDuel users were able to select who would win between the two; those who bet on Eli will now receive a share of $10 million in bonus bets.
Eli may have come up short of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this week, but this sure is a nice consolation prize.
