I've always found it hilarious that football fans and the talking heads that cover the game seem to care greatly about the Pro Bowl when it comes to announce the rosters but rip the game when it comes to playing the game. They say that the game should be tossed but they still watch it. And that's why the Pro Bowl is still an event. Personally, I've always enjoyed the game. Perhaps it's because I've always accepted the game as the fun exhibition game that it was always meant to be. It used to be more of a real game than the glorified practice that it is today. Sean Taylor's famous hit on a punter (A PUNTER!) is an indication that the drop in actual hitting is a fairly recent thing. That drop in effort has been disappointing but it's still a fun game. I enjoy seeing the players interacting in this environment. I do wish that it was still held in Hawaii. The players probably agree. Anyway, here's a Pro Bowl prediction.
AFC vs NFC
Pick: NFC
This is an easy pick. The NFC is simply the better team because of the following players:
Kirk Cousins
Dalvin Cook
C.J. Ham
Danielle Hunter
Everson Griffen
Eric Kendricks
Harrison Smith
Xavier Rhodes
That list should include Stefon Diggs and Anthony Harris and not include Xavier Rhodes. But that's a whole other issue.
Good luck and stay healthy to all of the players on the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl rosters. It's a fun game. Football is fun.
