First, I rarely bet anything significant on this beauty pageant. This week I've been watching the coverage of these practices. Neither team is taking this too seriously but the NFC's approach is even moreso a joke. Wade Phillips' practices are as organized as a chinese firedrill. His practices have only lasted 45 minutes. I can tell you, even if you have a group of pros, you can't get anything done in that time. There's not enough time to get the offense on one page. For defense, they'll just line up in base and everyone already knows how to play their technique/position so it's no big deal (note:there is no blitzing). Anyway, it looks like the NFC will be the worse offense out of the two. Plus, they've already had to kick a player off.Unfukkingreal. I also think with we might see a few break out runs by Chris Johnson for the AFC. I don't advise putting down alot here but there is no way I could back an undisciplined, unprepared, Wade Phillips coached NFC team. I would either stay away or take the AFC for a small play.

Thinking might make small play on AFC as well.Normally dont even pay attention to this game but I think AFC willcover as well.Comment -
I noticed that too. Probably will be betting the game just for the hell of it but the only thing holding me back from AFC is that the NFC is loaded at QB. Rodgers, McNabb, Romo while AFC has Schaub, Young, and Garrard.Comment -
think an OVER
would work who knows what is going to show up?

I can tell you these things will happen in the Pro Bowl.
Vince Young will throw a pick.
An NFC speed receiver will catch a bomb.
Chris Johnson will break a big gainer.
Revis will lock his man down.
I might just ask my little brother who to take.Comment -

Under.
or a prop bet.Comment -
Funny thread....I can say the best bet on the P.B is a NO bet..If you must bet, bet the tails on the coin toss..Comment -
AFC seems to have more *replacement players that are happy to be there. I also think the dynamics of guys like Garrard/Young, Cribbs, and Johnson should give them a great shot of coasting through with easy TD's. The problem is, they tend to scrimmage for 3 quarters and get serious in the 4th. I'd bet on AFC in a shootout, but I'm not putting my money on Garrard vs. Romo in a serious game.Comment -
Interesting read...
McKinnie gets booted off NFC Pro Bowl roster
By Doug Farrar
When the NFL puts as much importance in Pro Bowl attendance as it has for this year's Miami pre-Super Bowl event, one wonders what it would actually take to be not only excused from the proceedings, but to get booted out of the whole thing altogether. Well, if you're curious, you can ask Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie(notes), because he'd know. According to the Associated Press, McKinnie was kicked off the NFC Pro Bowl roster after missing practices on Friday and Saturday with unexcused absences. According to his own Twitter account, McKinnie, who had been nursing minor injuries through the end of the regular season and into the playoffs, managed to get himself together enough to engage in only one meeting this week, though he was much more reliable when taking on the highlights of the Miami club scene. It's now heavily speculated that those extracurricular activities were the driving force behind McKinnie's absences, leaving him off the team and subject to any number of fines.
The problem is not so much that McKinnie's in trouble with the league -- he's had run-ins before, though he's not what anyone would call a career criminal. And he's in the fourth year of a seven-year, $48.5 million contract extension, so any fine the league chooses to dole out will run right off his back. Where McKinnie's really getting nailed is from his former Pro Bowl teammates. With him out of the picture, the NFC has only two other offensive tackles -- Philadelphia's Jason Peters(notes) and David Diehl(notes) of the New York Giants. Had he not been kicked off the team, McKinnie may have been too unprepared to play even in the NFC's simplified schemes, according to line coach Hudson Houck. And Diehl, whose responsibilities will now increase beyond what any player should have to deal with in a glorified exhibition, was incredulous at the whole thing.
"I can't speak for him," Diehl told Mark Craig of the Star-Tribune. "All I can speak for is me. I was here for everything. I was prepared and I'm ready to go. I'll be ready to go tomorrow night."
Let's just call it like it is. First of all, McKinnie never should have been voted to the Pro Bowl in the first place. He was an average lineman at best this year, finding himself benched against the Carolina Panthers on December 21 for giving up sacks and pressures without letup. The Vikings got to the NFC Championship despite their line, and everybody knows it. For McKinnie to take an award he doesn't deserve and throw it away is one thing -- but to throw his teammates under the bus and put an already undermanned roster under more pressure is absolutely inexcusable. Diehl is the professional in this scenario, and he's now the one who will be playing more, and possibly subjecting himself to injury. McKinnie needs to figure it out -- and fast. The Pro Bowl may be a joke to him (and many others), but leaving your fellow football players in the lurch is hardly humor fodder.Comment -
the players dont even give a shit about this game.
what time is the dunk contest?Comment -
afc is going to run wild cat, option, run & shoot, triple option with VY & Jag's QB.Comment -
AFC +2 and over 57.5 (both small). I got the juice at Even so I went with that instead of the ML. Doesn't make sense but a lot hasn't made since the last couple of days. GLComment -
