I made a bet(Eli vs. Peyton)

Well passer rating I'd say there's no way.  The other two I'd say yes and yes just because of the way each team's roster is set up.  I think the Broncos are going to limit Manning's throws as much as possible to keep him fresher.  And the Giants look like they may be a train wreck and playing from behind all the time so that would lead to a lot more yards and garbage TD's.

I'd actually make that bet myself.

Depends on what you stand to gain/lose.

It's definitely not a safe bet. Peyton is bound to have a fall soon but Eli hasn't really been lighting it up.

Looking at the schedules and rosters though.. I'd say you've got a pretty fair shot especially if OGB comes on strong this year. Giants seem to have a softer schedule too.

How many years of the last 5 and 10 has Eli won two of three?

I realize this is probably rhetorical, but he has never been better in two of three and I actually don't think Eli's bested him once in a single of those cats (maybe I missed it). Unless you count 2011--when Peyton missed the whole season. Still, I think it's reasonable that this might be the year Eli outperforms him based on everything going on around the two teams.

I would never bet for or against Eli in anything. He's the most up & down QB I've ever seen. He can look like the worst QB, literally, the worst QB, in the league for a month than throw for 1500 yards & 15 TD's the next month.

At my FF draft I bet a guy Eli would have a better season than Peyton.

The criteria is winning 2 of the 3 categories:

Passer rating

Yards

TDs.

Crazy?

I drafted Eli and ran from Peyton. That Oline is suspect to overration. Peyton could very well get smacked out of this season...and his playing career.

I expect Peyton to fall off this year but I'm not sure Eli isn't going to do the same. that being said Eli usually bounces back from a bad year with a really good one fantasy wise. A lot could depend on Cruz staying healthy. With Beckham on the outside drawing double teams Cruz will be free to to return the slot and wreck havoc like he did a few years ago. Cruz could be a sleeper in PPR leagues.

Eli threw 30 TDs and had less INTs than Peyton last season. The 2nd half he outperformed Peyton
