For hardcore football fans, it doesn’t get much better than the NFL Pro Bowl.
The Pro Bowl is coming back to Hawaii after being played in Miami in 2010 for the first time in 30 years. The game will take place on Sunday, January 29th, 2012. Kick-off is set for 7 pm EST at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu Hawaii.
The original Pro Bowl game, on Jan. 15, 1939, pitted the National Football League champions against
a team of all-stars from the rest of the league. In 1940 and 1942, there were two games, the first
in January against the previous year's champion, the second in December against the newly-crowned NFL
champion. That Pro Bowl series was discontinued in 1943 -- due to the collapse of the American Football
League and World War II.
In 1951, the Pro Bowl game was revived under a new format matching the all-stars of each conference at
the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The American Conference defeated the National Conference 28-27, January 14.
From 1954 through 1970, the teams represented the NFL's Eastern and Western Conferences. Since the
merger of the American Football League into the NFL, the Pro Bowl has been played, again, by all-star
teams from the American and National Football Conferences.
The games are usually high-scoring affairs. The 2004 contest, for example, the NFC defeated the AFC in a 55-52 thriller. Marc Bulger
of the St. Louis Rams was the game’s MVP, throwing a Pro Bowl record four touchdown passes.
The Pro Bowl passing game isn’t the only place where big gains will be made. Sportbet NFL Pro Bowl betting brings NFL Pro Bowl fans

2011 Pro Bowl Results
The NFC jumped out to a huge 42-7 lead by halftime and eased off whatever gas pedal they might have had pressed down. One of the highlights of the game came at the very end when Cleveland Browns center and former Cal great Alex Mack scored a touchdown on a last minute desperation play involving hook-and-ladder elements. Seeing the big man rumble down the field was impressive.The game was more or less decided and you could tell nobody really cared about much. It was sort of the Pro Bowl in a nutshell.
