Eli Manning isn't convinced that his brother will be cheering for six teams next season.

The elder Manning brother recently said he will be rooting for the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, and Houston Texans in retirement because of various connections he's made in his career.

Eli is proud of his brother's accomplishments, but now that Peyton has hung up his pads, it's his little brother's time in the spotlight at the Manning household.

"He gave his heart and soul to it and left it all out there, and it’s time for him to hang it up and I think he’s good with that and he knows it was the right decision," Eli told SiriusXM NFL radio on Wednesday. "But I know he’ll be rooting for the Giants and rooting for me to play well and win games, and I think he’ll enjoy being a fan."
