Pro Bowl betting is another opportunity for bettors to watch football and be in action. The game is all all-star game which means the best players in the NFL will be playing. Conventional wisdom would say that with the best players in the world participating that the game would draw great television ratings. That is not the case though. The game has limited interest because it is just a glorified scrimmage. Players don’t want to get hurt and players only play about a quarter. Since the intensity level is down it has resulted in not much defense being played and a lot of scoring in Pro Bowl betting. Pro Bowl betting has seen the Pro Bowl odds on the total rise into the mid 60’s. The Pro Bowl betting total on the 2007 game was 65. That number in Pro Bowl odds could be the norm now that teams focus on offense and not much else.
