The intensity and competitiveness of Pro Bowl weekend have dramatically declined in recent years. Looking at this year’s event schedule, you begin to realize how far removed we are from the era highlighted by the late Sean Taylor’s massive hit on punter Brian Moorman.
There will be no football played by official NFL rules this Sunday. Instead, the 88 players selected to represent the NFC and AFC will square off in several competitions to earn points for their side, with the weekend culminating in a flag football game at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
We have 2025 Pro Bowl odds for four of those events at DraftKings. Here are odds for each and a breakdown of each event.
NFL Pro Bowl Flag Football Game
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| NFC | -110 |
| AFC | -110 |
In last year's flag football game, the AFC scored 50 points across the four 12-minute quarters, compared to the NFC's 34. However, the NFC ended up winning the entire weekend 64-59 because they dominated the skills competitions.
This will be the third year that the NFL Pro Bowl Weekend is highlighted by a flag football game. Brothers Eli and Peyton Manning will once again coach the NFC and AFC teams, respectively, as Eli will look to make it a third straight victory against his older brother.
Sunday’s flag football game will be a 7-on-7 competition, as the league looks to make the weekend safer and more enjoyable for the fans, while also drumming up support for the sport that will debut at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
NFL Punt Perfect Contest
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| NFC | -115 |
| AFC | -115 |
This contest will feature two players from each conference—one punter and one non-punter. The punter will punt from the 35-yard line, with a receiver stationed in the end zone, aiming for a set of six buckets. Each made punt is worth a single point, and every fifth punt is worth three points. The highest combined score between teammates wins and secures the points for their conference.
For the AFC, Logan Cooke of the Jacksonville Jaguars will punt, and Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey will receive. Detroit Lions punter Jack Fox and San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk will represent the NFC.
This is the first year that Pro Bowl weekend will feature a punting contest.

| Team | Odds |

| NFC | -115 |
