Fans may have seen the FanDuel Sportsbook commercial featuring NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning bickering about the latter's desired destiny as a kicker instead of a quarterback.
If not, we've got you covered with everything you need to know about Sunday's "Kick of Destiny 3."
What is the "Kick of Destiny?"
During the previous two Super Bowl Sundays, FanDuel has enlisted former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski to act as a spokesperson in its advertisements leading up to the big game.
Each game day, he participated in the "Kick of Destiny," where he was challenged to convert a 25-yard field goal. Users of the sportsbook's app were told if they picked correctly whether Gronkowski would be successful or not, they'd earn a portion of $10M in bonus bets.
Gronkowski missed the kick each year.

How will "Kick of Destiny 3" work?
FanDuel announced earlier this year that the Manning brothers will compete Sunday in a field goal-kicking competition during the Fox pregame show ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
The sportsbook will be giving away another $10M in bonus bets to app users if they correctly pick which Manning brother will beat the other.
Both will have to convert a 25-yard field goal in a sudden-death contest. There will be a maximum of three rounds with either brother alternating kicks until one converts and the other misses.
If in each of the first two rounds, both of them miss their kicks, they'll get to move up five yards for the next attempt.
In the third and final round, if neither successfully converts, then the tiebreaker will come down to whoever's ball is closest to the center target on the net.
Are the Manning brothers practicing for the "Kick of Destiny?"
Yes, both Eli and Peyton have made it publicly known they are "training" for their kicking competition on Super Bowl Sunday.
In fact, Peyton released a video of his training sessions on his production company's YouTube page on Jan. 29.
Eli briefly makes an appearance, discussing his methods for preparing for the big contest. But fans can get a glimpse of his former hopes and dreams as the two brothers read his childhood diary in another video.
On Thursday, the Mannings spoke to another pair of brothers, Travis and Jason Kelce, on the "New Heights" podcast, discussing the six weeks of training and an injury setback.
"We were kind of learning what not to do [from Gronkowski]," Peyton described of his film sessions with the tight end.
"I think I'll be ready Sunday," Eli said after detailing his pulled quad in practice. "I'm going full game day mode."
When is the "Kick of Destiny?"
Fox's pregame show will begin at 3 p.m. ET ahead of Super Bowl LIX. That's also when FanDuel has advertised the kicking contest will take place.
The Manning brothers will face off inside Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, their hometown.
