AFC Favored in Pro Bowl, Hawaii

Aces.com Players Put Their Money on the Steelers/Colts Roster

With a roster loaded with Super Bowl Champion Steelers players, and the Colts’ unstoppable Peyton Manning, the AFC is favored in this weekend’s NFL Pro Bowl. Aces.com currently has the AFC line at –180 (money line) -4 (spread) 68.5 (total) with the NFC team, led by Seahawks quarterback Mark Hasselbeck, at +160.

The NFL Pro Bowl pits the best players from AFC against the cream of the NFC on Sunday, February 12 in Hawaii. The Indianapolis Colts top the league with seven players – including Peyton Manning -- heading to Hawaii. Two All-Stars from Pittsburgh -- Alan Faneca and Troy Polamalu -- are also earning bettors’ confidence in the AFC team.

“After last weekend’s Super Bowl win, it’s only natural the AFC team would be a popular bet,” said Aces.com Manager, Rene Queseda. “The Steelers were the favorite in the Super Bowl as well, despite having a worse season than the Seahawks. Aces customers actually bet the Super Bowl pretty even and it looks like the Pro Bowl will go that way too.”

Fans, players and coaches select the AFC and NFC All-Stars. Each group's collective vote counted one-third toward determining conference rosters. Millions of Pro Bowl votes were cast via cell phones, a more than 100-fold increase over wireless votes the previous year.
