According to a report by Yahoo Sports, the NFL is considering suspending the Pro Bowl, which is sad news for savvy sports bettors.
While mainstream football fans have all but given up on the All-Star exhibition, sports bettors have been taking advantage of the lack of defense the game provides over the past nine seasons.
The table below shows the O/U line, Total Score and Over/Under result for the past nine NFL Pro Bowls.
| Year | O/U Line |
Total Score | Result |
| 2004 | 51.5 | 107 | Over |
| 2005 | 44 | 65 | Over |
| 2006 | 67 | 40 | Under |
| 2007 | 64 | 59 | Under |
| 2008 | 62 | 72 | Over |
| 2009 | 65.5 | 51 | Under |
| 2010 | 57 | 75 | Over |
| 2011 | 66.5 | 96 | Over |
| 2012 | 75 | 100 | Over |
