One of the big Super Bowl side attractions this year was the FanDuel Kick of Destiny 3 contest between brothers Peyton and Eli Manning. The two former star NFL quarterbacks each kicked field goals on Super Bowl Sunday. FanDuel users got to pick which Manning would win, and users that picked correctly would win a share of $10,000,000 in bonus bets.

This article will deliver info on what time Peyton and Eli will make their kicks in the Kick of Destiny contest. It will also look at the rules and show you how you can participate.

What time will Peyton and Eli Manning kick in the Kick of Destiny contest?

FanDuel users may be wondering what time Peyton and Eli will kick in the Kick of Destiny 3 contest. 

You will want to tune in to FOX, which is broadcasting this year’s Super Bowl, at 3 p.m. ET to witness the kicks. The Mannings will be making their kicks live during the network’s pre-game show. 

This is different than the first iteration of the Kick of Destiny contest, which had Rob Gronkowski making a kick during a quick commercial break during the actual Super Bowl game. Many fans were upset that they missed the kick because it was such a quick segment. It’s clear that FanDuel listened to their audience as now the Kick of Destiny will have the stage all to itself before the actual football game between the Chiefs and Eagles starts.

How far away is the field goal that Peyton and Eli Manning will kick?

One of the common questions with the Kick of Destiny contest centers around how far the field goal attempts are. 

Peyton and Eli will both initially attempt a 25-yard field goal. If both kickers miss that first attempt, the ball will be moved 5 yards closer for the next round. 
If neither Manning makes a kick in the first two rounds, the contest will move to a third and final round. This last round of kicks would be from 15 yards out.
