NFL Pro Bowl Betting Prediction and Analysis for 2024

One of the more annoying things about the Super Bowl is that we have a 2-week wait between the Conference Championship Games and the big game, but the good news is that there is some football to wager on in between. MyBookie Sportsbook | NFL Pro Bowl Betting Prediction and Analysis

Yes, the Pro Bowl is upon us once again, and while some fans don’t really care for this event, there are many more who enjoy the fun aspect of it all, as well as the chance to add some money to their bankroll ahead of the Super Bowl.

We have already seen some events happen for this year’s Pro Bowl, with the Skills Competition taking place on Thursday night. If you missed that and did not get in on the action, fear not, as there is still plenty to wager on this coming Sunday. The good news is that the odds for all the upcoming events are basically split down the middle, so there is some money to be made if you can get on the right side of all the wagers. With this piece, we are going to look at all that is happening on Sunday and do what we can to help you make those winning NFL picks, so let’s get to it.

Move The Chains

What we have with this event is a competition of strength, with teams made up from the AFC and NFC going head-to-head. Each team is comprised of 5 players, with the goal being to remove 3,000 pounds of weight from a wall and drag it to the finish line. This game is played in a best-of-three format, with the teams as follows:

AFC

NFC

This is a brute strength battle and is one that required all 3 rounds last year before we got to a winner. It was the AFC that prevailed, winning 2-1, in the 2023 version of this event, but it really could go either way. The bookies seem to agree, as they have both teams listed at -110, making this event a bit of a coin flip.

I am going to stick with the reigning champs and take the AFC to win again.

Gridiron Gauntlet

If you are looking for some level of mayhem, this might well be the event for you. Each conference team is comprised of 2 teams of 6 players, all of whom have to navigate an obstacle course that includes crawling under obstacles and breaking through walls before pushing a heavy sled to the finish line. Unlike the previous event, this is a one-off and not a best of three, so who do you think will win?

AFC

Bills

Jaguars

NFC

Once again, the bookies have this as a close affair, with the odds for both conferences set at -110. It was the NFC that took the Gridiron Gauntlet event in 2023, but can they go out and get the repeat. For me, this one is too close to call, but I am going to get off the fence and take the AFC to sweep the first 2 events of the day.

Flag Football

Over the years, the format of the Pro Bowl has changed, with the Flag Football variant now in its second season of existence. The move to this format is one that is more meaningful than you might expect, with flag football set to become part of the next Olympic Games. The NFL seems more than interested in having their players take part, with several players, including Patrick Mahomes, expressing an interest in heading off to the Olympics.

The format is a 7-on-7 game between the AFC and NFC, with the Manning brothers serving as head coaches for the teams. Peyton is in charge of the AFC, alongside Ray Lewis and Wes Welker, while Eli will manage the NFC, with DeMarcus Ware and Keenan McCardell serving as his assistants. Let’s now take a look at some of the players taking part in the event:

Once again, the bookies are looking at this game as something of a coin flip, with both teams listed at -110. I think Hurts is and his style of play is specifically suited to this type of game, which is why I am leaning toward the NFC winning for the second straight season, but again, this is a game that really could go either way.

Since this whole event is nothing more than an exhibition and a chance for players to have some fun, I’m not sure that I would be going to crazy with wagering on the Pro Bowl. Like the players, this is an opportunity for bettors to have some fun with the event. Keep that in mind and hopefully you’ll walk away a winner.
