2012 NFL Pro Bowl: NFC Starting Quarterbacks

If you happen to be a fan of fun, sun, and offensive football, then Hawaii is the place to be this weekend as the stars of the NFL are set to light up the skies in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

After a regular season that saw quarterbacks pass for record numbers, there’s no reason to expect that we won’t see more of the same in this contest. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who set a new record with a 122.5 passer rating, gets the nod as the starter for the NFC.

Rodgers is joined by New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees, who set a new single season total passing yards mark with 5,476 yards through the air. Panthers rookie QB Cam Newton may outshine both of the veterans as he should see the most playing time for the NFC in this contest.

AFC Starting Quarterbacks: 2012 NFL Pro Bowl

Though they didn’t put up the same numbers as their NFC counterparts the AFC has some firepower under center as well. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger gets the start for the AFC. We aren’t totally sure how or why Big Ben is playing in this contest, and he won’t play long.

Chargers QB Philip Rivers, who along with Brees and Peyton Manning became the third QB in NFL history to pass for 4,000 plus yards in four consecutive seasons, joins rookie Andy Dalton from the Bengals as the other AFC quarterbacks.

If you are betting on Pro Bowl, the QB advantage is slanted dramatically in the favor of the National Football Conference. Back the NFC to win the 2012 NFL Pro Bowl – if you have to bet on it at all!
