AFC vs. NFC in Pro Bowl Lines

If you're searching for a lock you might want to look at betting the OVER in the Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl has been an offensive showcase for the last decade. In the last 10 Pro Bowls only once has the combined score dipped below 51 points. Last year scoring was up again as the NFC defeated the AFC 41-34 to put 75 points on the board.

That score easily went OVER the posted total, and that has been a common occurrence in the Pro Bowl. In the last 11 Pro Bowls the OVER is an amazing 9-2. The total for this year's Pro Bowl has been set at 62, and if you were to put that total to the last 10 Pro Bowls the OVER would be 6-4.

If you're looking to bet the line this weekend we have a really weird trend to throw at you. In the last nine Pro Bowls the conference that won the previous Super Bowl is 7-2 SU. The only times this didn't happen was in 2008 when the NFC won following the Colts' Super Bowl win, and in 2006 when the NFC won following the Patriots' win.

If that odd trends were to hold true again then the NFC should capture it following the Saints' Super Bowl win from a year ago. The NFC is a 1.5-point favorite and will be playing against an AFC team missing a number of their offensive starters. That includes Tom Brady, Maurice Jones-Drew, Andre Johnson, and Antonio Gates, who are all skipping the game due to injury.

The AFC's starting defense is also going to be missing Dwight Freeney, James Harrison, Ed Reed, and Troy Polamalu which should be great news for the NFC's offense which won't be missing a single big name.
