2017 Pro Bowl kicks off on January 29 at the Orlando’s Camping World Stadium to a lot of rugby betting interest.

The NFL All-Star game in the United States is a hugely popular event which draws crowds from across the country, and even from abroad. The game is termed as the Pro Bowl and the 2017 Pro Bowl would be the All-Star game for the 2016 season.

Key Details

Camping World Stadium in Orlando will be playing host to the tournament, which is already attracting a lot of rugby betting interest. Unlike in the last three years when a drafted format was followed, the 2017 Pro Bowl would mark a return to the conference format which has been the widely used system, for almost 42 years. The widespread popularity of the event is easily evident from the numerous Pro Bowl predictions available.

The Pro Bowl was first played in 1951. Since the merger with the American Football League (AFL) in 2017, it has officially been known as the AFC–NFC Pro Bowl and it now consistently attracts a lot of rugby odds.

Roosters for the AFC and NFC teams released recently featured a total of 11 five-star players, while 24 four-star players are also in the squad. Landon Collins of New York Giants, Gerald McCoy of Tampa Bay, Greg Olsen of Carolina, and Julio Jones of Atlanta are some of the five star players. These names are expected to make a major impact in the Pro Bowl betting odds. Incredibly, a total of 80 players have been named for the 2017 Pro Bowl with an amazing 35 of them belonging to either five or four-star categories. Ohio state, Florida State, and Alabama dominate the roosters as they have been the recent champions.

Jason Garrett will be coaching the NFC team while Andy Reid will be in charge of the AFC team. It straight away gives a disadvantage to AFC in the best odds considering that their coach Andy Reid oversaw a 49-27 loss in the 2016 Pro Bowl. Reid had come up against Winston Moss in last season’s competition, which was witnessed by more than 50,000 at the Aloha stadium in Hawaii. It remains to be seen if the loss last year will be playing on the mind of Reid.

The 2017 Pro Bowl will be held on January 29. Pro Bowl betting tips will be placing a lot of stake on the NFC team winning the title. One of the major factors that has led to the jump in interest is the return of the conference format. This has led to a lot of bet online interest around the world.

Our Picks

AFC - Quarterbacks

Andrew Luck (IND), Tom Brady (NE), Derek Carr (OAK)

Tom Brady has been the absolute best quarterback in football in the 2016/2017 season so far by a quite wide margin. Both Andrew Luck and Derek Carr have put together great seasons, yet remain a good distance from the incredible standards Tom Brady has set after returning from his suspension.

NFC - Running Backs

David Johnson (ARI), Ezekiel Elliott (DAL), Jordan Howard (CHI)

Ezekiel Elliott runs from the league's best platform right now, as Dallas' offensive line is amazing, yet he's done his share of heavy lifting as well. Johnson is the only Running Back that can actually compare to Le'Veon Bell when it comes to production and versatility, while Jordan Howard has been an amazing force for the Bears since winning that job in Chicago, with an average of 3.1y per carry after contact.
