Pro Bowl Prop Betting Tips

As with every game, BetOnline offers a massive line of NFL prop betting on the Pro Bowl and The Furious One is here to break down the best bets of the game. While the NFL point spread is always fun to bet on, and we have tons of break downs on the game itself, prop betting is always a keeper. Here are my picks for Sunday’s All-Star showdown!

First To Score: NFC -120 / AFC -110
The AFC. Brandon Marshall and Andre Johnson are both excellent deep threats and the NFC’s secondary is full of over reaching safeties and corners. If there was a prop bet on who was going to connect on the first score, I’d say it’s Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub rekindling the fire.

Score In 1st 6 ½ Minutes: Yes -200 / No +160
Sucker bet alert! The Pro Bowl, while packed with superstars, is a game with a mixed bag of rosters. These guys have just one week to practice together and the first half of the first quarter is almost always used to work out the kinks in a real game situation. There’s also the x-factor of players not taking the game seriously until it attracts that natural air of competition. The YES bet is a sucker bet so stick with N-O and rake in on that sweet line.

First Score In Game: TD -240 / OTHER +190
As I said earlier, I expect the first score of this game to be a touchdown to Andre Johnson. The field bet is enticing in this one, but I doubt that the kickers will see plenty of action in this game.

Team Scores 3 Unanswered: Yes -200 / No +160
Neither the NFC nor the AFC are trotting out their best lineups in this game. The idea of the lazy defenses of either side stepping up to actually shut down the opposing conference is not only unthinkable, it’s insanely unlikely. To bank on one team running amuck over the other considering the players on the field is unimaginable.

Highest Scoring Half: 1st Half -125 / 2nd Half -105
Despite my stern belief that this game will start out slow, the first half is the better bet here. All you have to do is look at the quarterbacks. The AFC will be able to get off to a hot start, but the NFC has three very capable quarterbacks that can steady the scoring pace throughout the entire game. Vince Young and David Garrard not only don’t deserve to be in the game, they’ll stall the scoring in the second half when they see more time. Take the 1st half at -125.

Team To Score Longest TD: NFC -115 /AFC -115
All Tony Romo and Miles Austin did this season was score bombs. If any team is going to score a 70+ yard touchdown, it’s the duo from Dallas. Bank on the NFC in this prop bet.
