I've already said I'm going with Green Bay, but for total points - I think this is a low scoring affair: 24.

Anybody watching the Pro Bowl this weekend? And if so, why?

The Pro Bowl? It's an abomination. Gridiron has scrimmages, not scrums.

So why would any gridiron game need hookers...?







(Or have I misunderstood something? )

It's a toss up between this and the professional bowlers tour.

Passing on the Pro Bowl (as always).

Points? Hmmm.....oh, ok. As before, the Pack to come out on top, and let's go with 53 points. Off the wall prediction: both defenses will go completely brain-dead at least once and give up a TD in doing so.

So far we have 3 pickers with a score for the Superbowl? Any others going to join in the frolic?

A question I'm sure the Minnesota Vikings higher-ups were asking themselves a few years back...

I'm putting you down for a Packers victory with 33 points scored. We are trying to guess what the total score for both teams will be.

Sigh!!!

Steelers 21, Packers 17 (38)

Packers for the win. 60 points. A week feels like a long time to wait right now.

Good news for Packers pickers (of which there seem to be an overwhelming majority) but bad for Pittsburgh pickers: Pouncey's out. Makes me want to reconsider my pick and points but hopefully Legursky's gotten the reps in and can hold up. I find it interesting that the article believes that a couple of fumbled snaps (as the most obvious and memorable things) means the Steelers "did not appear to struggle much with the change at center."

[Grimward]

And that nose tackle for Green Bay is a tank and a half, too. Thanks for the article, J.

Eugene Robinson liked hookers when he played.

Thankfully he had moved on to the Falcons before that came to light.

Packers: 673 Steelers: -23

I may be a bit off on the Steelers score now that Pouncey is out.

But, if I was being serious, Packers 21, Steelers 13 (O/U @ 33)

And BJ Raji is awesome.

I love it when a fat man can dance.

If you had been picking the Pro Bowl, you would have been close.

Sorry guys - looks like that "inside" report was a bit premature. Pouncey's not yet officially ruled out. I suspect this is just to keep the Packers a little off guard (or is that off center?) and to make them film/plan/practice both centers. How's he going to hold off a 337 pound dude when he he's sprained and broken? But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
