Pro bowl anyone?

[pb278817]

Anyone have line on game or an over under yet? Last years was worst by far. Refs were blowing it dead as soon as a defensive player put a hand on the ball carrier. And I don’t think the clock ever stops.

They are trying several new rules this year, I do know that.

Why can't the NFL turn this into a giant skills competition?

QBs already have a skills competition
WRs vs DBs one on one pass receiving
TEs vs LBs one on one pass receiving
Kickers/Punters, no brainer
OT vs DE one on one pass blocking
C/G vs DT one on one run blocking (the old Oklahoma drill)

That could fill three hours easy.

"...by pickup up both feet." lol So no handstands allowed, Cuba Gooding Jr.

I last watched some time in the early early 80s

I was at practice today and skills challenge. Met Salsa Cruz and Rob Ninkovich. My kid threw a ball at Salsa’s knee caps and he was cool about it and laughed it off. Even blamed himself for being in the way. Salsa is tiny. Otherwise, I have nothing to add besides why in hell would you bet this game. None of these guys care, at all as that was further confirmed today watching “practice”

To gamble more than $5 on this game would be cause for concern.

This game has become such a joke. Just like everything else it's all about not getting hurt.

 

[Zeke]

Just saw a number on Bovada. AFC -1.5/50, juiced to the over!. Under for me please.

Under all day, just not sure with the new kickoff rules if they’ll go for it a lot or not

 

[Zeke]

Jesus it's moved to 50.5. Have the past three years meant nothing to some people?

 

[pb278817]

Think people just see pro bowl or All-Stars game in general and bet over

By far the most unwatchable game in all of the major sports. It's embarrassing to watch

 

[Zeke]

I was hoping I could tease this under with the SB so I could play a 3-way 10 pointer. Not so much.

 

[wizardofodd]

dont even remember the last time I watched this junk, I see its gotten worse.

this seems like that game show bamboozled in friends.

 

[Zeke]

Ryan Tannehill is playing in this fucking game, pretty much sums it up.

 

[Zeke]

People are betting this over as if it's already been played. Keeps climbing & I don't get it. 53.5 now!

 

[Hulu]

I don't want to bet this game but man i agree that total is too high. By like 7 points IMO

 

[booksbestfriend]

Used to be an auto-over just a few years back, but last years touch f-ball killed that.

 

[booksbestfriend]

Dalvin Clock starting RB for the NFC. Must be an alter-ego without a shoulder injury.

 

[Hulu]

Total just hit 54.5

 

[inZane]

I've got 55'...

 

[Zeke]

I just went under 55.5! Wish I hadn't played under 50 at open

 

[booksbestfriend]

Does the clock not stop on incomplete passes in the pro-bowl?

 

[pb278817]

Pretty sure they just run it the whole game expect maybe under 2 mins both halves. Found that out the hard way with the over last year

 

[inZane]

It didn't even stop when the receiver went out of bounds.

 

[Hulu]

Can you imagine these rules I. The regular season? Totals would be in the 20s

Games would still go 3+ hours though... just more commercials.'

That is what ncaa and nfl have been aiming for the last 12-13 years... slowly and slowly getting worse.

 

[booksbestfriend]

Simply unwatchable

Agreed. I have a theory on something like this in the cfl that I will be researching this off season.

 

[B.A.R.]

Simply unwatchable

Haven't watched other than one play... but seeing the score it makes sense why the total got steamed.

 

[booksbestfriend]

Live was 61.5 a moment ago

 

[booksbestfriend]

They are literally playing touch in pads

 

[wiseplayer]

Only enjoying this because I'm on over 1st half and game. I feel like I'm cheating myself losing hours of my life

 

[booksbestfriend]

38 point 1Hcwith a running clock and no tackling. How does that happen?

 

[booksbestfriend]

Took 1 qtr over 10 (-135) and chalked it as a loss on an incomplete pass. My book graded it as a win. I missed something there. I watched the clock go :00. How did the AFC score in the 1st qtr?

 

[pb278817]

They reviewed the last play of the q and reversed it to a td

 

[inZane]

Wtf was that???

:angrymob:

 

[Zeke]

Well fuck me!

 

[wiseplayer]

1st time I can remember winning this game in recent memory. I didnt watch much because of todays tragedy

 

[twinkie13]

That was just awful. They gonna end this thing soon. It’s just dumb

 

[Zeke]

Who the hell would waste three hours watching this shit on TV let alone spend good money to see it live? NBA all star they basically do what they do now anyway, no defense & drain 3's. Hockey is all offense also but you see some good puck movement. MLB is probably the only one where they can play a legit game and try with little risk of injury.

You're right Twink, they should vote players in, give them a fucking gift certificate or some BS, let them add it to their resume & just not play the game. It's barely football.
