This Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts is being labeled as one of the biggest regular season games in NFL history.
There are many factors that make this game so intriguing.
For one, the coaches are two completeley different people with completely different styles.
For two, the Colts and Pats have been the two most successful NFL teams over the past decade.
For three, the Colts' win over the Pats in the AFC title game last season was the first time anyone had been able to shut down New England's dynasty and go on to win a Super Bowl of their own.
But the most intriguing part of this "rivalry" is the quarterback matchup of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Who is the better quarterback? Who will go down as the best historically? Who has the best arm? Who has the best commercials?
They are all interesting questions. But let's look and see which is the better fantasy quarterback.
Because really, that's all that matters.
Here are their career fantasy-centered stats:
Tom Brady: 104 games, 2,094 completions, 23,995 yards, 230.7 yards per game, 177 touchdowns, 80 interceptions.
Peyton Manning: 151 games, 3,283 completions, 39,419 yards, 261.1 yards per game, 288 touchdowns, 142 interceptions.
Factoring in the fantasy rules my league applies, Tom Brady has amassed 1,701 fantasy points in his career, averaging out to 16.36 fantasy points per game.
Peyton Manning has a career total of 2,757 fantasy points, averaging to 18.26 points per game.
The numbers have spoken. Peyton Manning is the greater fantasy football quarterback.
The Hall of Fame needs no other proof.
For the record, I've got the Pats beating the Colts 31-27 Sunday.
