Pro Bowl 2017 Outcome

Hi, I am 0-2 in the last 2 years making Pro Bowl predictions. Last season I predicted team Rice, and it was team Irvin, this year I picked team NFC and team AFC won. Ugh. Next year...anyways before we get started some news that the 49ers hire former star safety John Lynch to be their new GM. The Colts have also hired a new GM. Here is the game results:

Pro Bowl 2017 NFC Vs. AFC: AFC 20, NFC 17:

It was a very fun Pro Bowl to watch this year as it was for which division I guess is better even though I still think NFC is better we can see the final result in which division takes the Super Bowl. The first quarter was a boring no score game but then the AFC struck first with an Alex Smith TD pass to Delanie Walker. At half it was 14-7, AFC. The NFC scored on a Drew Brees to Doug Baldwin TD on a defensive breakout where Casey Hayward of the Chargers and Reggie Nelson of the Raiders messed up and gave Doug Baldwin one of the easiest TDs of his career. The run game wasn't really there tonight as the games leading rusher was Jordan Howard with only 21 yards. People were actually thinking Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert might have a big rushing game since the coaches would want to rest their good RBs but Tolbert didn't even carry the ball that much. The AFC took a big 17-7 lead at the start of the fourth quarter but NFC rallied back to make the score 20-13 with about a minute left. Surging Redskins QB Kirk Cousins had the NFC in the red zone and it looked like this would go into overtime but then Cousins passed to Jimmy Graham whom just let it bounce out of his hand and right into the hands of later named Defensive MVP of the Pro Bowl Lorenzo Alexander. Alexander ran it back some yards and then lateraled it to Aquib Talib who returned it to about the other 20 yard line before KIRK COUSINS stripped the ball from him and it was a fumble. The AFC recovered in clinching them the game though but what a crazy play. How about Kirk Cousins though! His contract is up this season and the Pro Bowl is for nothing and he still made a diving play to strip that ball and risk injury and maybe even his career had he gotten injured. He will be a top free agent this off-season with an effort like his. It was a fun Pro Bowl and AFC was the winner but we will see which division takes the Super Bowl this weekend on Super Bowl Sunday!

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the Pro Bowl! :)
