Sunday's Pro Bowl will be the second edition with a new format for the NFC and AFC, and we make our best 2024 Pro Bowl prediction based rooted in the best NFL odds from our best sports betting sites.

The NFL abandoned its traditional exhibition game with last year's Pro Bowl, which the NFC won over the AFC. We'll see the renewed format once again on Sunday for the annual All-Star showcase ahead of the Super Bowl. Peyton and Eli Manning will once again be the head coaches.

The new-look Pro Bowl is no longer a tackle football game between the league's best stars, but rather a series of skills competitions that cultimate in flag football.

Without typical NFL rules governing this contest, is there still an edge for bettors looking for some action before diving into the latest Super Bowl odds?

In addition to our Chiefs vs. 49ers prediction and other Super Bowl predictions, here is our best Pro Bowl prediction and our NFL picks (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale). Note that the below odds are from DraftKings Ontario.  

2024 Pro Bowl prediction

NFC wins flag football (-110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐

It’s so hard to truly get a feel for what is going to take place in this game. The flag football competition has been a solid addition to the Pro Bowl, and it has ensured that more of the league’s best players participate. 

When looking at the rosters, it does seem like the NFC has an advantage. They have the most athletic quarterback with Jalen Hurts, several dangerous running backs, including Jahmyr Gibbs, and they have wide receivers who are perfect for this type of event. We won’t get to see Bobby Wagner lighting anyone up, but the NFC defense has a solid unit that will just need to keep Tyreek Hill at bay.

How much can a defense do in this game? Not much. Last year, the score ended up being 35-33 with the NFC mounting a late comeback. We’ll take the more complete offense as the NFC wins a close one.

Pro Bowl prop pick

AFC wins Move the Chains (-110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐

We know what the teams will be for the competition pitting offensive and defensive linemen from each conference against each other. While the event itself will involve a bit of luck, there is plenty to be gained from knowing who the people are that will be competing on each side.

The AFC has a clear advantage with players like Will Anderson and Myles Garrett competing in this event that requires players to quickly move heavy weights, and then pull a 2,000-pound wall over a finish line together. The quickness and agility of Anderson and Garrett may be all it takes for the AFC to get the win on Sunday.

The NFC team is no slouch with players like Montez Sweat and Demarcus Lawrence competing. But the AFC has the edge. And considering these two units are going off at standard odds at DraftKings, we’re backing the AFC in a small-unit play.
