NFL Pro Bowl
A selection of all-stars from the National Football Conference (NFC) battle their American Football Conference (AFC) counterparts in the National Football League’s all-star game, the NFC-AFC Pro Bowl, held annually during the postseason. Currently, the all-stars are voted into the Pro Bowl by the coaches, players and the fans.
Since the formal 1970 merger between the NFL and AFL, there have been forty-one (41) Pro Bowl games—21 of which was won by the NFC. As early as 1939 however, there have been “NFL All-Star Games,” the first of which is the match between the New York Giants versus the Pro All-Stars. Pre-merger, the NFL held all-star games as well, pitting conferences against each other—National vs. American then, East vs. West from 1951 to 1970.
BET ON SPORTSThere are a few major rule differences from the Pro Bowl game with the regular American football to encourage a safer game; No motion/shifting by the offense is allowed, a mandatory 4-3 defensive formation and no blitzing are among others rules changed.
Since 1980, Pro Bowl games have been held at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii except once when it was held at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida in 2010. The next NFC-AFC Pro Bowl is scheduled to happen January 29, 2012 also in Hawaii.
