<\/a><\/p>\nVeteran sports betting gurus run from games like the Pro Bowl, because of no true handicapping stats, trends or past performance numbers available to bank on. But the fact is, as long as a sharp and proper line is provided, wagering on the Pro Bowl or any other All-Star event is no different than betting on a regular-season game from any sport.<\/p>\n
Bottom-line, when dealing with a sharp line on a straight side or ‘total’ play you have a 50\/50 chance of winning your wager. Hence oddsmakers setting and moving lines in efforts to pull equal money on both sides. And with BetUS NFL odds and lines always razor-sharp, listing the NFC slight favorites at -2\u00bd points; AFC +2\u00bd – with a game total of 64 – I’m ready to get down on the 2009 Pro Bowl action.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t recommend betting the ranch on these events, unless you want to follow the ole saying, ”got a hunch, bet a bunch”, but place an online NFL wager on the game and have some fun. The best players in the league converge on one field, looking to showcase some of the world’s greatest athleticism and football talent, creating an exciting contest that’s predominately a razzle-dazzle offensive frenzy. And, a little action with BetUS Sportsbook only adds excitement to the show.<\/p>\n
With everything said, do you take the AFC or NFC and how to decide? Flipping a coin, tossing a dart or picking the side boasting reps from your favor team are three options. But before jumping the gun, let’s first look at the starters for each conference<\/strong> to get a feel for the game.<\/p>\n AFC Starters (Followed By Reserves):<\/strong><\/p>\n QB\u2014Peyton Manning – Colts Reserves<\/strong>: QB’s\u2014Brett Favre – Jets and Jay Cutler – Broncos; RB’s\u2014Chris Johnson – Titans and Ronnie Brown – Dolphins; WR’s\u2014Reggie Wayne – Colts and Wes Welker – Patriots; TE\u2014Antonio Gates – Chargers; T\u2014Michael Roos – Titans; G\u2014Michael Roos – Titans; C\u2014Nick Mangold – Jets.<\/p>\n DE’s\u2014Mario Williams – Texans and Dwight Freeney – Colts Reserves<\/strong>: DE\u2014Robert Mathis – Colts; DT\u2014Shaun Rogers – Browns; OLB\u2014Terrell Suggs – Ravens; MLB\u2014James Farrior – Steelers; CB\u2014Darrelle Revis – Jets; S\u2014Chris Hope – Titans.<\/p>\n NFC Starters (Followed By Reserves):<\/strong><\/p>\n QB\u2014Kurt Warner – Cardinals Reserves:<\/strong> QB’s\u2014Drew Brees – Saints and Eli Manning – Giants; RB’s\u2014Michael Turner, Falcons and Clinton Portis – Redskins; WR’s\u2014Steve Smith – Panthers and Roddy White – Falcons; TE\u2014Chris Cooley – Redskins; T\u2014Chris Samuels – Redskins; G\u2014Leonard Davis – Cowboys; C\u2014Shaun O’Hara – Giants.<\/p>\n DE’s\u2014Justin Tuck – Giants and Julius Peppers – PanthersDT’s\u2014Kevin Williams – Vikings and Jay Ratliff – Cowboys Reserves: DE\u2014Jared Allen – Vikings; DT\u2014Pat Williams – Vikings; OLB\u2014Derrick Brooks – Buccaneers; ILB\u2014Jon Beason – Panthers; CB\u2014Asante Samuel – Eagles; S\u2014Brian Dawkins – Eagles.<\/p>\n It’s a star-studded lineup on both sides from top to bottom – all deserving of being on the Hawaiian vacation. But annually there’s players snubbed that have valid arguments of being left off the bill. For what it’s worth, which is nothing in means of picking the winner, here’s my top-two players left singing the snub-uh-dub song<\/strong>:<\/p>\n 1\u2014San Diego’s quarterback Phillip Rivers is this year’s biggest snub. Rivers led the entire NFL with a 105.5 passer rating and touchdown passes thrown with 34. Obviously, the fact the Chargers missed postseason worked against him, but this event is based on individual honors, so he should of been on the roster instead of the washed up Favre. For those wondering, Favre had 12 less TD passes than Rivers and a QB rating of 81.0 (ranked 21st), while throwing 22 picks – most in the NFL.<\/p>\n 2\u2014Steve Slaton was a major snub. Brown was the catalyst of the Fin’s \u201cWild Cat\u201d offense often played quarterback and wideout with 33 receptions and 914 rushing yards, but Slaton proved himself as more of a pure running back. Slaton was hurt by his rookie status, while Brown’s Pro Bowl ticket was punched by Miami’s remarkable turnaround. Slaton racked up nearly 1,300 yards with a 4.8-per-carry average, while still learning as a rookie and playing behind a below average Texans’ O-line.<\/p>\n Ok, back to the game. Since the Pro Bowl became the AFC vs. NFC in 1971, the series is tied 19-19. Wow, that certainly strengthens my earlier statement of having a 50\/50 chance of cashing. However, that record doesn’t include spreads.<\/p>\n Here’s some addition SU records that pertain to scoring:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014Most points- 55, NFC (2004) With seven of the last eight Pro Bowls going over the ‘total’, including last year’s game which saw a robust 72 points combined, I’m passing up flipping a coin, tossing a dart or picking the side boasting reps from my favorite team and modestly investing in the ‘total’.<\/p>\n Ok, the 2009 Pro Bowl starting lineup is etched in stone for Sunday’s star-studded AFC vs. NFC event at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
