Monday Night Football schedule: Is there a ‘ManningCast’ tonight?

There’s no ‘ManningCast’ for the Saints-Packers game tonight, but Peyton and Eli will return for a playoff game in January.

Peyton and Eli Manning have returned for a fourth season of the ManningCast with the two former quarterbacks set to provide commentary for 11 weeks of Monday Night Football games this fall.

The brothers released a funny 10-minute musical to promote the upcoming ManningCast season in September. The 2024 slate is now on a break as the regular season schedule has wrapped up for the ManningCast.

The program will return in the first round of the playoffs for a Wild Card game that will be televised on ESPN2, which is available to stream on fuboTV.

Peyton and Eli will welcome new guests on the program each week there is a ManningCast, and Bill Belichick will be featured on every episode this fall.

Check out the full schedule below.

Broncos are underdogs vs. Bengals in Week 17

The Bengals are considered 3-point favorites against the Broncos in Week 17.

Coming off a 34-27 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Denver Broncos are considered 3-point underdogs against the Cincinnati Bengals going into Week 17, according to BetMGM. The over/under for total points scored between the two teams has been set at 48.0.

The Bengals (7-8) are coming off a 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cincinnati’s playoff hopes are now alive going into their crucial home game against Denver on Saturday afternoon.

The Broncos (9-6) and Bengals are competing for a Wild Card seed in the AFC. The winner of Saturday’s showdown will have a head-to-head advantage, but Denver only needs one win to clinch a playoff spot. Cincinnati would need to win out and have the Broncos lose out.

Denver leads the all-time series against the Bengals 22-11, but Cincinnati won the most recent meeting 15-10 at home in 2021. The Broncos are currently the seventh and final playoff seed in the AFC.

Denver Broncos schedule: Do the Broncos have a game today?

After playing on Thursday, the Broncos don’t play again until Dec. 28.

After playing on Thursday Night Football in Week 16, the Denver Broncos do not have a game today (Sunday, Dec. 22). The Broncos will return to action against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, Dec. 28 in Week 17.

Denver will play eight home games at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium this year and nine games on the road. Because the league has an unbalanced 17-game schedule, the NFC and AFC rotate between having an extra home game. This year, the NFC gets a ninth home game.

The Broncos are led by head coach Sean Payton with rookie Bo Nix serving as their starting quarterback this fall.
