Fall's on its way, and what better to look forward to, than a new season of NFL football. In a move that almost shows that professional sports listens to its fans, we are being treated to a first game match up of brother vs brother as Eli Manning and the NY Giants take on Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts!

On September 10th, the regular season opener,is going to be a media circus, and a gambler's dream game. The Manning brothers come from a football family, their dad Archie was also a professional quarterback. Both were No. 1 draft picks, led their teams to the playoffs in their second NFL season and played college football in the Southeastern Conference.

The comparisons end at that, as the older brother, Peyton, 30, has 6 more seasons of experience, and a 2-time NFL MVP. With only 23 starts under his belt, Eli, 25, hopes to carry the torch lit by his father...only thing is...he'll have to beat his brother to do it.
