2025-26 NFL Pro Bowl Online Betting

The format of the NFL Pro Bowl has changed throughout the years. In an attempt to revive the game, heal the plummeting attendance and increase television ratings, several variations have taken place just in the past several years. The most recent alteration to the game took place following the 2022 NFL season with the league making a drastic change. We no longer have a NFL Pro Bowl tackle football game between top players from each conference rather a weeklong skills competition that is now called the Pro Bowl Games.

The logistics surrounding the event are fluid and at the time of this writing there isn’t a venue in place. The last two years saw the Games being played in and around the Orlando, Florida area with the marquee event, a non-contact flag football game between players from each conference, taking place at Camping World Stadium. The NFL has discussed having the Pro Bowl Games take place at the Super Bowl host venue and city for that particular season.

With Super Bowl LX taking place at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area, we could see the Games on the West Coast for the first time since the conclusion of the 1978 season when the game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This, of course, doesn’t include the many years the Pro Bowl was played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Despite its geographic location, Hawai’i is generally considered part of the West Coast of the U.S.

Back to the Games, in the three years since the format change to a skills competition the type of events has changed. Last year, players from the NFC and AFC competed against each other in Pro Bowl Skills like passing the test, where QBs attempt to hit targets at various distances in a given time frame. There were also events that included pass catching while running an obstacle course, a relay race, teammate trivia and dodgeball. The Pro Bowl Games culminated with a 7-on-7 flag football game. The points awarded during the skills competition were added to the score of the flag football game for a final result. The NFC won the game 56-50 and outpointed the AFC 76-63.

To many fans and gamblers, the Pro Bowl is a farce that should be canceled. But the other side of the coin is that the Pro Bowl is one of the highest-rated sports TV programs of the year. Thus, the Pro Bowl lives, much to the smiles of the sportsbooks, NFL brass, owners, corporate sponsors, and TV executives. Prop betting has become a popular form of Pro Bowl wagering and there will be odds on all of the events once player commitments, events and schedules are confirmed.

NFL Pro Bowl Results (2000)

In 1938, the NFL staged its first Pro All-Star Game that featured an all-star team against that year’s league champion. That format continued for five years until the game was discontinued due to the events of WWII. The game was revived in 1950 as the Pro Bowl, with all-star teams from the league’s two conferences competing against each other. That model continued in some form until the 2013 game, where captains selected a roster in a player draft.

The NFL returned to a conference format for the 2016 game, with the AFC winning all five contests since the switch. Unfortunately, the 2020 Pro Bowl was canceled due to COVID, but the 2021 edition of the game was exciting, with a total of 76 points scored in a back-and-forth affair.

That was the last traditional Pro Bowl as a lack of interest and modernization efforts have changed the entire Pro Bowl Weekend. It is now a celebrated skills competition that is capped off with a flag football game with no real stakes.
