NFL Pro Bowl Betting Odds: Many Will Allow Coin Flip To Pick Winner

Usually, the Pro Bowl serves as a bridge from one NFL season to the next for gamblers. This year, with the game being moved to the week before the Super Bowl, there is growing concern among sports books as to just how much money will be bet on the game.

Most NFL gamblers save up their betting funds to go all out on the Super Bowl. That is a fact that is proven each year when the total amount wagered on the Super Bowl is near, or exceeds, $100 million. The Pro Bowl being played before the big game means that bettors may have to choose where to spend their entertainment dollars.

Handicapping the Pro Bowl becomes even a bigger task than deciding whether or not to bet on the game at all. This year, the players on the field, in some cases, will represent the fourth, fifth, and sixth choices for their position.

There will be no Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, or Peyton Manning on the AFC team. On the NFC side, Drew Brees and Brett Favre, two of the best quarterbacks this season, will not be playing.

The same can be said on the defensive side of the ball. Some of the top defensive lineman, linebackers, cornerback, and safeties are out because of injury or other commitments such as the Super Bowl the following week.

The game is always a toss up for gamblers, with players taking the game about as serious as the first pre-season game. This year, the toughest decision for those who do bet on the game will be determining whether to call heads or tails.
