The Pro Bowl Games are coming up, and Eli Manning is ready to go.
Manning will be coaching the NFC against his brother Peyton’s AFC. To get ready for the upcoming games, Eli participated in some trash talking.

He said on the Dan Patrick Show Monday:
“I expect NFC to win. You, know, Peyton’s a terrible coach, we all know that. Good player, bad coach, so I think we’re at a major advantage.”
These will be the first-ever Pro Bowl Games and will finish with an AFC-NFC flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 5 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.
Pete Davidson and Snoop Dogg will serve as captains for the two teams. Snoop is on Peyton’s team while Davidson leads Eli’s squad. Eli and Davidson are actually new friends. The duo started a joint Instagram account after filming an episode of The Eli Manning Show. Davidson had an Instagram account up until earlier this year and Manning has never been on the app. Their handle is @pete_eli10.
