As predicted here this morning, NBC won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes.

It’ll be Pittsburgh at Denver on Sunday night during week 1 of the NFL season, according to several reports on Twitter. NBC should score huge ratings for Manning’s first game in a Broncos uniform. Also, it’s a rematch of last year’s playoff game, which Denver and Tim Tebow won in a dramatic overtime finish.

What ever happened to that Tebow guy, anyway?

According to Peter King, Baltimore travels to Cincinnati for ESPN’s first Monday night game of the season.

The entire schedule will be revealed on NFL Network and ESPN at 7 p.m.

Let the Peyton Manning countdown begin.
