NFL Pro Bowl Preview

Posted on Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT by GetChalk

Call it a ratings hunt or just another victim of the dwindling economy. Whatever prompted the move of the NFL Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl and from Hawaii to Miami is giving football bettors a great way to survive the usually painful bye week.

The AFC versus the NFC used to be an afterthought for most sports bettors. But this move may draw more action on a game which, like most All-Star games, is nearly impossible to handicap. Starters may play limited minutes, defenses don't really go for the throat, and coaches won't hesitate to go to the back of the playbook for some creative and sometimes disastrous plays.

Oddsmakers have set the NFC as a 2.5-point favorite for Sunday's game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. The NFC has won back-to-back Pro Bowls; however, both conferences boast a 5-5 record in the past decade. Last season, Larry Fitzgerald earned MVP honors en route to leading the NFC to a 30-21 win over the AFC.

With the move to the bye week, the Pro Bowl will not feature players from the top two teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, including the two best players in the league â€“ NFL MVP Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.

Also sitting out Sunday's game is Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, who injured his ankle in last weekend's NFC Championship Game, plus San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers and New England Patriots pivot Tom Brady, who are also injured.

Without Manning, Rivers, or Brady, the AFC has been forced to revamp its entire quarterback rotation. The trio of the Houston Texans' Matt Schaub, the Tennessee Titans' Vince Young, and the Jacksonville Jaguarsâ€™ David Garrard is enough for most bettors to put cash â€“ and a lot of it â€“ on the NFC. Those three quarterbacks combined for 22 interceptions this season and just Schaub posted a QB rating over 90.0.

The NFC has a richer crop of passers to choose from without Brees and Favre in the lineup. Aaron Rodgers will get the start after getting voted into the Pro Bowl. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and Dallas Cowboys pivot Tony Romo will serve as reserve arms, giving the NFC a definitive edge under center.

The AFC's receiving corps may make up for the lack of a true Pro Bowl passer. Houston wideout Andre Johnson, Denver Broncos WR Brandon Marshall, Cincinnati Bengals entertaining option Chad Ochocinco, and Chargers towering receiver Vincent Jackson will line up on the wings. San Diego's Antonio Gates and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Heath Miller are in as tight ends.

Catching balls for the NFC will be Eagles gamebreaker DeSean Jackson, Cowboys breakout star Miles Austin, New York Giants receiver Steve Smith, and the Atlanta Falcons' Roddy White. Tight end positions went to San Francisco 49ers big man Vernon Davis and Dallas' Jason Witten.

The AFC holds a slight advantage on the ground with NFL leading rusher Chris Johnson from Tennessee getting the starting nod. Behind him is Jacksonville sparkplug Maurice Jones-Drew and Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.

Running the ball for the NFC will be Vikings rusher Adrian Peterson, the Carolina Panthers' DeAngelo Williams, and Niners runner Frank Gore, who replaced the Rams' Steven Jackson. That trio combined for 35 touchdowns with 18 of them coming from Peterson. The AFC's rushing attack found paydirt 36 times, with Rice scoring just seven touchdowns this season.

Weighing in on defensive play for the Pro Bowl is like factoring in the pitching for the home run derby. The Pro Bowl isn't a stranger to hard hits, like the late Sean Taylor's knock on punter Brian Moorman in the 2007 Pro Bowl. However, stop units rely more on finesse than pure, jaw-jacking hits during Pro Bowl games.

The AFC boasts some great gamebreakers on the defensive side of the ball. New York Jets corner Darrell Revis, who nabbed six interceptions, and Broncos linebacker Elvis Dumervil, who led the NFL with 17 sacks this season, headline the AFC roster. Pittsburgh's James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley also provide some pop in the front seven.

The NFC has standout defenders in Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen and Carolina's Julius Peppers, while linebackers DeMarcus Ware of the Cowboys and San Francisco's Patrick Willis, who led the NFL in tackles this year, round out a beefy front seven for the NFC. There may be a weakness in the secondary, though, with New Orleans safety Darren Sharper playing the Super Bowl and Green Bay corner Charles Woodson, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, sitting out due to injury.
