Ok, I know I'm no longer in the 'competition,' but here's my picks, just for FUN!

Broncos + 10 over Patriots (THIS time Peyton outguns Brady)

Seahawks + 7 over 49ers (Seattle wins, but it won't be a pushover)

That's my two cents worth, keep the change!

:D:D :D

Wow, I just can't believe it. Me and Steel's teams are going to the big dance!!!

We still have one more prediction in the playoff picks. It will decide the final round.

We will also have a fun loopy pro bowl pool of sorts for those who want to try their luck with that.

The Superbowl is on February 2nd.

Alright, lets try and have some fun with the Pro Bowl. I said try. ;)

The Pro Bowl is unconferenced this year. Two former players Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice are the team leaders and picked their players by way of fantasy draft from the pro bowl roster. Superbowl players voted into the Pro Bowl are not going to play and some other players were considered but not chosen. Each team has 44 players.

Here's how we'll do a fun pick for this weekend's 'game'.

-Predict the winner

-Predict the total score (both teams combined)

To give you an idea of total allocated score predictions, the Broncos/Cowboys thriller this season tied for the third most points scored in an NFL game, with 99.

After the game we'll see who came closest.

Here's Team Sanders:

And here's the pro bowl rule changes:

-A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarters, and the ball will switch hands after every quarter.

-There will be no kickoffs. A coin toss will determine which team is awarded possession first, and the ball will be placed on the 25-yard line at the start of each quarter and after scoring plays.

-The rosters will now consist of 44 players per squad, with an additional defensive back added.

-The defense will be permitted to play "cover two" and "press" coverage. In the previous years, only the "man" coverage was permitted, except for goal line situations.

-Beginning at the two-minute mark of every quarter, if the offense does not gain at least one yard, the clock will stop as if the play were an incomplete pass.

-A 35-second and 25-second play clock will be used instead of the usual 40-second and 25-second clock.

The game clock will not stop on quarterback sacks outside of the final 2 minutes of regulation/4th overtime.

PICK EM

I predict Team Rice wins.

Total allocated score: 118

Kind of torn since my two favorite players are on opposite teams. Still, as much as I really stand by JJ and would like to see him actually win for once, I have to say that the combination of Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham is just not easily beaten, especially since Pro Bowl is never about defense.

As such, gotta go with Rice. Really though, I kinda predict the game won't be interesting enough to actually keep my interest. :/

As for total score, neither Manning or Brady is there, but Brees can give the scoreboard a work out, as could someone like Foles or Luck, I guess. It'll be high, but maybe not as high as it could be. I'd say about 92 points on the board.

Hey guys, sorry I should have done this earlier.

Seahawks @ Broncos +1

Brian, you can keep your pick if you want, but in order to beat me, you have to have a 10 point swing. Tacobob needs a 12 point swing on RariDash.
