Betting on the 2023 Pro Bowl
NFL Pro Bowl Bets
The week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl is always known as Pro Bowl week in the NFL. The 2023 Pro Bowl is set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, and there are plenty of events that are set to take place throughout the week.
The biggest event during Pro Bowl week is the actual game, but this year's version of the Pro Bowl is set to look a bit different. The betting odds for the 2023 Pro Bowl aren't out yet either, as it's still unclear as to how the final rosters are going to look.
You are going to find plenty of unique betting options when it comes to the Pro Bowl, but betting against the spread or betting the over/under is always going to be a good strategy. Even if the odds are not yet available for betting on the Pro Bowl, you can start to come up with a plan.
Here is a look at some information that will help you put together your Pro Bowl bets.
Playing With Flags
The Pro Bowl is never a game that features a ton of big hits, and most plays are actually stopped before a player hits the ground. It has sort of turned into a joke over the last few years, and many have questioned why defensive players are even on the field at all.
This year's game is going to look completely different, as it will be a flag football game. Instead of tackling players to the ground, the league is going to equip players with a flag, and that's how every play is going to end.
You still aren't going to see much defense being played, as pulling an opponent's flag still takes some work by a defensive player. It's also not easy to pull a flag of a highly skilled and athletic player with the ball, and there are going to be some big plays made in this game.
You never want to take a serious look at the under when it comes time for the Pro Bowl, but especially this year. This should make the game more interesting to watch, at least, and it's also going to lead to bigger games for the offenses.
AFC Roster Gets A Makeover
The Pro Bowl team that is initially announced by the league is never the final roster that shows up on the day of the game. Some players are out because they are playing in the Super Bowl, while other players are forced to miss the game with an injury.
Both teams are dealing with some changes heading into the Super Bowl, but it appears that the AFC has been hit the hardest, especially at the quarterback position. It might be hard for the AFC to move the ball on offense as they are going to have three replacement quarterbacks taking the field.
Trevor Lawrence and Derek Carr are worthy replacements on the AFC roster, but they didn't have a great season compared to some of the other stars. Tyler Huntley has also been added to the AFC roster at the quarterback position, and he barely threw the ball all season long.
NFC Looking For Revenge
The NFC comes into this game looking for some revenge, as they have dropped five straight games to the AFC. There have been some games that have been close during that losing streak, but the AFC just continues to reign supreme in this exhibition contest.
The last two games have been decided by six points or less, but the NFC just hasn't been able to keep up offensively. That should change this time around, as the NFC has a loaded roster that is capable of putting up a ton of points in this one.
Even though this game really doesn't mean anything at all, the NFC stars are tired of hearing about how dominant the AFC has been. That little bit of extra motivation should give the NFC a slight edge in this one.
Take the Best Offense
Since this game is an exhibition, you can usually count on there being a ton of offense. With that being the case, you are going to want to look at the best offensive team in this game, and it's hard to argue against what the NFC has on its roster.
This game should feature a ton of points, and betting the over is always going to be a good option as well. If you are going to bet on the spread or moneyline, though, then you have to bet on the NFC.
The NFC is going to finally snap this long losing streak to the AFC and come up with a big win in the 2023 Pro Bowl.
