Eli Manning and Peyton Manning share a brotherly banter that’s unrivaled in any other sport. With college football underway, both brothers are heavily invested in what’s unfolding. However, one brother chickened out of a huge opportunity to win big, while the other took shots at him on Twitter.
Peyton is a former Super Bowl winner and player of the Denver Broncos, while Eli Manning too has won the Super Bowl with the New York Giants. The brothers apart from their sporting exploits are known for their public banter with each other. This Saturday, their collegiate teams will take on each other and the brothers will be part of the proceedings as well. As is the case with the Mannings, there was no shortage of entertainment pre-match.

Tennessee Volunteers set to face off against the Ole Miss Rebels this Saturday
In next Saturday’s showdown versus Tennessee, Ole Miss will undoubtedly be the favorite, thanks to their blistering form. The Volunteers, on the other hand, should not be taken lightly as well. Tennessee beat South Carolina by 25 points at home Thursday afternoon after running past Missouri on the road last weekend.
Hendon Hooker was the star for Tennessee as he threw for 225 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 passing for 225 yards and three touchdowns. If Hooker has a good weekend, the Volunteers may find themselves in a shootout with the Rebels next weekend. After all, Ole Miss recently defeated Arkansas by 52 points on Saturday.
