NFL playoffs are here and, like every year, are expected to bring in a massive amount of sports betting action. FanDuel is using this time to announce the continuation of its Super Bowl promo "Kick of Destiny," albeit with a few changes.
In the past two years, former tight end Rob Gronkowski stood alone trying to make a 25-yard field goal. In year one, he missed his attempt but FanDuel still rewarded customers with free bets.
In year two, customers had to choose whether he would make or miss the 25-yarder in order to win a free bet. At least in Canada, bettors overwhelmingly thought he would redeem himself, but he missed it again.
Now Gronk will not make a third attempt. This time, Eli and Peyton Manning will face off against each other to see who can make the same 25-yard kick.
Similar to last year, bettors don’t need to place a wager to participate. They can simply make a pick on the FanDuel app. For those who pick right, they will share in a prize pool of $10 million in bonus bets.
What is Kick of Destiny 3?
Here are the rules for the upcoming Kick of Destiny 3 between Eli and Peyton Manning:
- Peyton and Eli Manning will face off in a field-goal kicking competition.
- Each kicker will attempt a 25-yard kick.
- If the first kicker makes, the second kicker is given a chance to tie.
- If the first kicker misses, the second kicker is given a chance to win.
- If both kickers miss, they will kick again until there is a winner.
- If no winner is decided after three rounds, the kicker who kicked it closest to the center target on the net in the last round wins the tiebreaker.
Gronkowski went to X to offer help, despite the fact that he didn’t hit on his two attempts.
Passing the torch this year, let me know if you need any tips boys!! @EliManning #KOD3 https://t.co/yRqcjmpBjd
