One week after his little brother stole the show in the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning takes the field, albeit for a much less significant game.

Manning and Ben Roethlisberger of Pittsburgh will see the majority of playing time at quarterback for the AFC when the Pro Bowl kicks off Sunday in Honolulu (4:30 p.m. ET, Fox, BodogLIVE). The Cowboys' Tony Romo and Matt Hasselbeck of Seattle will be under center for the NFC.

The AFC leads the NFC 19-18 in the annual all-star showcase. Last year’s game was one of the most exciting as the AFC held on for a 31-28 victory. With Manning playing this time, the AFC is a field-goal favorite against the point spread.

While Peyton skipped the Pro Bowl last year after winning the Super Bowl, he’ll play this time since his Indianapolis Colts were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.

His brother, Eli Manning, led the New York Giants to a historic Super Bowl upset of the New England Patriots. Eli wasn’t voted to the Pro Bowl team, but his Super Bowl counterpart, Tom Brady, was named. Brady and teammate Randy Moss aren’t going to play, however.

Bet on the Pro Bowl!
