NFL Pro Bowl Schedule 2010 - Probowl info

Tonight will mark the NFL's annual All-star game of football, better known as the Pro Bowl. The NFL Pro Bowl schedule has changed quite a bit from the years prior, with the game having a new location and channel this year. The game is set to take place on Sunday, January 31, 2010 and will feature some of the top AFC players versus the best NFC players in the NFL.

For this year's Pro Bowl, the game will be televised by ESPN, rather than CBS. CBS has hosted the game for many years past, but due to tonight's 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, the game moves channels. Also, the location has shifted from the Hawaiian islands to warm and sunny Florida. The Pro Bowl has spent most of its time being played in Hawaii, but now moves to Miami.

The other interesting aspect of tonight's game is the fact that it is played a week ahead of the Superbowl. What makes this particularly interesting is that several of the probowl selections are also part of next weekend's Superbowl. The starting quarterbacks for the Pro-Bowl, are also the starting QB's for the Superbowl, with the Colts' Peyton Manning and Saints' Drew Brees. It's unlikely that they will be playing due to their Superbowl status, nor will any of their pro-bowl teammates.

You can view the AFC roster and NFC roster for tonight's game which starts just after 7PM EST from Florida. The NFL Pro Bowl schedule may be different, but it still offers football fanatics a chance to see some of the top stars in the game showing their skills!
