This Sunday will be the third time that brothers Peyton and Eli Manning have faced off as opposing quarterbacks in the NFL. Peyton has the edge in these “Manning Bowls,” with a 2-0 record (both Colts victories over the Giants). And Peyton has the reputation of “greatness” that clearly overshadows younger brother Eli.
But of course Eli has something that Peyton doesn’t have…two Super Bowl victories to Peyton’s one. That’s greatness in its own right.
Peyton looks to have the momentum this week, coming off a record tying seven touchdown pass performance again that Ravens. The Giants, on the other hand, turned the ball over 6 times in losing to the Cowboys, with Eli throwing three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown late in the game.
Even with the game in the Meadowlands, the Broncos would seem to have a big edge this week. But they’ll play and game see. And lot of us will get to see it as this is “national” late afternoon game on Sunday.

Note – The uniforms will be reversed for the real game. As we know, there were no large Tudor Electric Football Broncos in white.
