Certainly looks like the most interesting NFL matchup for this weekend.


Should be a ratings winner for NBC on Sunday night.

    A Match up of two "great" QB's, one who can't win the big game and the other who is overrated. Ill be watching to see which one

    I think the NFL made a bad choice scheduling them against each other week 1.

    First game of the season does well enough without the added gimmick, and making it Manning vs. Manning is undermining the rest of the two teams. It is a team game, not just these two brothers, and if I were on either team Id be pissed of at the attention going to them instead of the teams.

    It should be competitive, but that's not a game Indy should lose.

    The best game will be Carolina vs. Atlanta.

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    As far as Im concerned the matchup is overated. Big deal if it had playoff implications.

    Should be an excellent game. I'm not sure who is going to win but I do think for sure that Peyton will definitely have a better game than Eli.

    They probably didn't have to schedule this matchup for week one but I see them doing it as a "thank you" to NBC whom they would like to see get good ratings right at the start of the regular season. This game
    should pull in some good numbers.
