The Super Bowl is the most-watched television broadcast in the United States, and there can’t be a better place for brands to advertise themselves. FanDuel has also been making use of the stage in recent years and is returning to Super Bowl 59 with “Kick of Destiny 3.”
While the annual event has featured Rob Gronkowski in the last two editions, brothers Peyton and Eli Manning will face off in New Orleans to give bettors a chance of winning from the $10 million prize pool.
What Is FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3?
FanDuel Kick of Destiny is an annual event before the Super Bowl in which former NFL players attempt field goals. Bettors can speculate whether the players make the attempt and, accordingly, win from the $10 million prize pot.
The event started in 2023, with Gronkowski featured in the first and second editions. He lost in both editions and is replaced by brothers Peyton and Eli Manning, who go head-to-head in a new format in their second pre-Super Bowl event of the year.
The two brothers coached the AFC and NFC flag football teams in the Pro Bowl, and while Eli is undefeated so far, Peyton will hope to turn the tables in this competition.
Rules of FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3 and How To Bet
The FanDuel Kick of Destiny will take place during Fox’s pre-game show for Super Bowl 59. Unlike the last two years, when Gronkowski had only one field-goal attempt, the two brothers will have three attempts each to determine the winner.
The Manning brothers will attempt a 25-yard field goal. If one makes and the other misses, the winner will be declared. However, in case of a tie, another round will take place, and if the result is still tied after three rounds, whoever came closest to the “center target” in the final round will be the winner.
To bet on the event, you need to go on FanDuel and select which Manning brother you think would win the field-goal challenge. If you are right, you will receive a share of the $10 million bonus, which is split equally among the winners.
FanDuel has been heavily promoting the Kick of Destiny 3 between Eli and Peyton Manning during the NFL playoffs this season. The general theme of the commercials is Eli wanting to be a kicker in his childhood before being forced to follow in Peyton’s footsteps, who tells him, “You’ll never be a kicker — you’ll just have to be a quarterback, like me and Dad! Hahaha!”
