This has been as high as 96.5 this week. Really?? Could you sports betters shed some light on this? This seems unbelievable to me. I can't imagine betting the over on this. There has only been one pro bowl game since 1971 that beat this.
I know nothing!

In recent years there has been zero defense. Nobody wants to get hurt. You won't see any sacks and you probably will barely see a pass rush. The rules already don't allow blitzing. I seem to remember players giving some effort a while back, but that is hardly the case anymore.

I used to bet the over in the pro bowl every year. I will find it hard to bet that.

It's the end of the first quarter. Only 85 points to go.

Well it looks like the defenses came to play this year. 6 interceptions and 9 sacks allowed.

I have to say, this is the first time that the pro bowl has looked like a real football game (well, almost) in a while. I wonder if it's because of the new format and rule changes, or if it's just a fluke.

I didn't watch any of the game this year. 2 years ago the efforts were so bad I would say they were not even playing real football. Last year the NFC scored like 9 touchdowns. There is no way in hell if the best players in the world were playing real defense that any team could score 9 tds. Hopefully somebody watched and can tell us if they got back to playing real football

Bet the first score to be a touchdown. While I predict a very high-scoring game, I'd have to take the under on principle against anything close to the 90's.
