I know it's a crap shoot and I wanted to bet NFC just because I'm a fan of Dak. So I assumed it would be about a pick um but to my surprise NFC is a 4 pt fav. Why is this? Why would you want to give up 4 pts in a supposed even game?

The only thing I ever bet on with the Pro Bowl is the OVER.  I took over 83.  I've only lost one of these.  It used to be money in the bank.

Now that their returning to the original Pro Bowl, I'm hoping the scoring will be insane.

NFC has a lot better situation for the Pro Bowl at QB.

Prescott as a rookie will be playing his best the whole game IMO.

Brees is a true professional, and I see him being the best QB in the Pro Bowl because of his accuracy.

Kirk Cousins - he is trying to negotiate a long term contract.

AFC has 3 veteran guys none of whom gives a sh-t about the Pro Bowl,  Big Ben, Dalton, Alex Smith.  

But anything can happen in a game like this and the AFC QBs could all play great because there is limited pass rush.

Did you watch him in the skills Challenge... Yikes, I predict he throws a couple picks... He may be a descent QB in a system and time to prepare, etc.. .This is more of a TALENT game and there in he lacks.... A QB like Brees will do much better in a pro bowl..
Then again, maybe ZAK will take it more serious than others and will be the difference, I just think it is unlikely...

The last pro-bowl had a high of 76. The two before that were very low scoring games. why do you think this game will be higher than 83.

Mr. 20 Grand,

I apologize.....your figures are correct.....Out of the last 6 games, 3 overs, 3 unders.

The Original format is the ones that fly over.  Again, I apologize for calling you out.

They have also in the last three years offered a payment incentive to the winning team  All under 83. 

Also, Jason Garrett and Andy Reid are "pound the rock" head coaches.

We're talking 20 points a quarter.

team Rice, Irvin, Carter, Sanders

was by far the stupidest conception of the NFL 'Pro Bowl' imaginable, nice to see the return of the original format.

the Pro Bowl is regulated towards offense, if you're going to wager on an exhibition game, the OVER is the only way to go.....keep in mind; the players, and coaches are not going to lose any sleep over a loss, and are not going to get excited over a meaningless WIN..njoy the

sports_Network, you may not realize, but NFL players like money. The winning team gets $30,000 more. It wasn't always this way, but since this policy was incepted, the Under is undefeated, now it's the highest O/U in years.

Well if they let them play like they used to in the game, there is no blitz allowed, and pretty much no one makes tough tackles. That being said the over should be the play. I am gonna go with that for a small amount.......glta.....

Of course I'm going to bet on the pro bowl. Why not, I already bet on the color of the gatoraid.

No, no, no, no. I would rather bet Russian hockey-- betting the Pro Bowl, or any all-star game, is a toss-up to be avoided. I don't care if it is totals or otherwise.
