NFL Pro Bowl 2013: Date, AFC and NFC Rosters, Predictions and More

The Pro Bowl is a chance to celebrate the top superstars from across the NFL. While every player would say they would much rather be preparing for the Super Bowl, a trip to Hawaii to play alongside the game's best isn't a bad consolation prize.

As always, the intensity level will be low, and the scores will be high, but that's what makes the Pro Bowl fun and unique. And, since there are only two football games left before the offseason, plenty of fans will tune in to watch the star-studded exhibition.

Let's take a look at the key information for Sunday's game, followed by rosters for both teams and some predictions for the 2013 Pro Bowl.

Where: Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii

When: Sunday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. ET

Predictions

Winning Team: AFC

It's a race to 50 points, and the AFC has slightly more firepower. The NFC's most dynamic weapon is Adrian Peterson, which is actually a disadvantage in this type of game because it's going to come down to throwing early and often.

The AFC features four terrific wide receivers, all of whom play different roles within their respective offenses, and two of the best quarterbacks to ever step foot on an NFL field in Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. They should move the ball with ease.

Having a player like J.J. Watt on defense, who is making his first Pro Bowl appearance and might not be aware of the usual lackluster effort on that side of the ball, also helps. It should be a close game throughout before the AFC gains the edge late.

MVP: A.J. Green

The Pro Bowl is a wide receiver's dream. After spending the first four months being harassed by cornerbacks, they can spend a couple hours running wild in the secondary. At least a few of them are going to put up monster stats.

For the AFC, Green is the best bet to make that happen. The Cincinnati Bengals star finished the regular season with 97 catches for 1,350 yards and 11 touchdowns. The young phenom should be the busiest AFC receiver on Sunday playing with three wideouts with at least five appearances.

If the NFC comes out on top, Victor Cruz would be a sleeper pick for MVP. The New York Giants receiver might have to come up with some new dance routines because he'll probably be tired of the salsa by halftime.
