Fans and the media have complained for years that the Pro Bowl was a gloried touch football game with its limited amount of hitting and overall effort. The NFL apparently listened. Read on for an analysis of the Pro Bowl odds.

What’s On Tap/What’s Happened

Rather than an actual regulation football game, a series of events will lead up to three flag football games that will determine the winning conference. Sunday’s events include the finals of the best catch along with an obstacle race, a special teams competition named kick-tac-toe, and a strongman contest.

The AFC leads 9-3 after winning three of four events Thursday night — the precision passing competition, the three-event lightning round, and the golf long drive. The NFC captured the dodgeball competition.

Each of the four skills competitions on Sunday will also be worth three points. Then the conferences will play each other in two flag football games that will be worth six points apiece.

The total points from all the contests will be the score entering the third and final flag football game. The outcome of that game will determine the Pro Bowl winner and see if the AFC can extend its five-game winning streak.

If nothing else, the event gives bettors something to wager on why waiting for next Sunday’s Super Bowl 57 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Pro Bowls Odds – Best Catch (Finale)

The first part of this contest was held Thursday night with the Bills’ Stefon Diggs and the Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II of the AFC facing the NFC duo of the Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson, who knows something about great catches.

A panel of celebrity judges will determine the event’s winner.

The lean goes to the NFC here, especially with Jefferson on its side. And Surtain isn’t even a receiver. He’s a cornerback.

Gridiron Gauntlet

Six players from each conference will participate in a side-by-side relay race demonstrating speed and agility to see who finishes first and earns three points for his team.

The Browns’ Joel Bitonio, Myles Garrett, and Nick Chubb will be part of the AFC team with the Steelers’ Cam Heyward and the Bills’ Dion Dawkins. Making up the NFC team will be Penei Sewell (Lions), Brian Burns (Panthers), Saquon Barkley (Giants), Tirston Wirfs (Buccaneers), and Cam Jordan (Saints).

The initial thought is to pick the AFC as three Browns are used to playing for a franchise that is seemingly on a never-ending obstacle course. However, it’s hard to beat the NFC squad’s overall athleticism.

Move the Chains

Four teams will attempt to move a weighted wall ten yards as quickly as possible. Using first-down chains each team will aim to get their wall across the finish line.

Each conference will have two teams:

AFC 1: Quinnen Williams (Jets), Trey Hendrickson (Bengals), Laremy Tunsil (Texans), Terron Armstead (Dolphins), and Jeffrey Simmons (Titans)

AFC 2: Maxx Crosby (Raiders), Rodger Saffold (Bills), Ben Jones (Titans), Mitch Morse (Bills), Wyatt Teller (Browns)

NFC 1: Jonathan Allen (Commanders), Frank Ragnow (Lions), Chris Lindstrom (Falcons), Trent Williams (49ers), Demarcus Lawrence (Cowboys)

NFC 2: Dexter Lawrence (Giants), Daron Payne (Commanders), Zack Martin (Cowboys), Elgton Jenkins (Packers), Tyler Biadasz (Cowboys)

Got to go with the offensive linemen in a brute strength competition and AFC 2 has four of them with Crosby the only defensive player.

Kick Tac Toe

Special teams will be on display as each team’s kicker, punter, and long snapper will showcase their skills. Each team will attempt to hit a connecting line of three squares to earn their team points.

The AFC squad will consist of Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, Raiders punter A.J. Cole and Titans long snapper Morgan Cox. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers heads the NFC team that includes Commanders’ punter Tress Way and Vikings long snapper Andrew DePaola.

Though Tucker missed six of 43 field goal attempts this season, he is the most accurate kicker in NFL history. That alone gives the AFC the edge.

Pro Bowl Flag Football Game

Finally, there will be the three flag football games that will decide the winning conference.

The AFC quarterbacks are the Raiders’ Derek Carr, the Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, and the Ravens’ Tyler Huntley. Running the NFC offense will be the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins, the Seahawks’ Geno Smith, and the Lions’ Jared Goff.

It’s hard to take the AFC squad seriously when they have one QB (Carr) who was benched with two games left in the season and another (Huntley) who threw two touchdown passes in 2022.

It’s hard to understand how the AFC is favored when the NFC has such a huge edge at quarterback. Go with the NFC.
