NFC slight faves over AFC in Pro Bowl

Bettors have to wait two weeks for the Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t football action this weekend to wager on.

If you have the time to cap the seemingly endless amount of roster changes due to injuries and can't control the urge to throw down a wager on the gridiron, then the Pro Bowl from Aloha Stadium in Hawaii is for you.

Books began releasing their odds Monday afternoon, and there is quite a discrepancy depending on which book you’re placing wagers with.

Online sportsbook BetOnline opened the NFC as 3-point favorites with a total of 84.5, while the LVH in Las Vegas has the NFC listed as 1.5-point faves and have set an 85-point total.

Early odds from offshore books are ranging anywhere from NFC -2.5 to -3 with varying totals between 83 and 85.

The NFC holds a slight 21-20 SU edge over the AFC all-time in the Pro Bowl and took last year’s contest by a score of 55-41.

3-0 (100%) w/ 10* GAME OF WEEK Y-DAY!

Truly unbelievable, if you aren't playing AAA Sports' INCREDIBLE picks, then you are leaving a HUGE chunk of change on the table! He FLATTENED the books y-day, 4-1 overall which included EASILY SWEEPING his 10* GAME OF WEEK tickets (NBA, NHL, NCAAB); go to his >> HOME PAGE << for more details!
 

I played against Atlanta in its last game vs. Minnesota and if you didn’t have a chance to read that analysis, I think it’s worth a look here as a lot of the situational factors I outlined in that selection also directly apply to this one:

I played this line right when it came out, it’s since gone up a bit as of writing, but may settle back down to 16.5, but regardless, I love this pick and think that the lowly Wolves can catch the surprising home side a bit complacent here and expect them to comfortably sneak in through the back door as the game comes down the stretch. What more can be said about the Atlanta Hawks right now that hasn’t literally been said by every NBA analyst across North American a million times by now, obviously the team is playing at an extremely high level on both ends of the court. I won’t try to convince you that the Wolves are a good team which has just been unlucky this season, injuries and other factors have Minnesota in the cellar for a reason, it’s a club which is in transition this season. However, what I would point out is that after covering 13 straight games and with contests vs. Minnesota today and Brooklyn (just 18-25) on Wednesday, there’s no question in my mind that this short stretch vs. the league’s worst teams definitely sets up as a classic “letdown” spot for the home side. Conversely, the Wolves have lost three straight (both SU and ATS) and will be “hungry” to not get blown out here with the knowledge that the eyes of the basketball World are all on the city of Atlanta right now. I think this is a few too many points, grab as many as you can with the WOLVES.

I believe that tonight’s game also sets up as a classic “letdown/look ahead” spot for the home side with a game at home vs. the Blazers on Friday. Also note that this is a revenge game for Brooklyn after falling 98-75 to the Hawks at home back on December 5th as a 1-point underdog. A few too many points again in my opinion, consider a second look at the NETS in this one.
