Free 2011 NFL Pro Bowl Pick

We may be the best source for 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) prop betting analysis (self-proclaimed), but as far as we're concerned, there still two NFL games remaining this season. We're talking, of course, about the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl!

While many are quick to dismiss the Pro Bowl as a terrible All-Star game, we love the game, if only because we know how desperate we're going to be for any sort of football during the months following the Super Bowl (as evidenced by our occasional AFL and UFL coverage).

This year, with the Pro Bowl back in Hawaii, we're excited to make our Free Pro Bowl Picks--though as we warned earlier, we don't technically count these as Free NFL Picks given that they are not part of our system. Though it is worth noting, our Free NFL Pro Bowl Picks were 2-o last year. Just sayin'.

AFC (PICK) over NFC

UNDER 64

Last year, we went with the NFC and the OVER, and won them both as the all-time Pro Bowl record evened between the AFC and NFC to 20-20. This year, we think the AFC regains their lead. Injuries and replacements decimated both sides, but particularly the NFC's defense. Aside from that, Bill Belichick is 2-0 all-time as the coach of the Pro Bowl, and we generally think the better coach usually wins this game. Hoodie has the edge over Mike Smith. Aside from that, we're supposed to bet against Mr. Pro Bowl, Peyton Manning? Not gonna happen.

As for the under, this over/under is set a little higher than normal after the shootout in 2010. Over usually draws most of the action in the Pro Bowl (and Super Bowl), but we think under is the play this year.

We'll throw in some Pro Bowl prop bets before the game tomorrow, and our Super Bowl prop bet coverage is nowhere near complete, so stay with us here at Stock Lemon as we continue to make the final games of the 2010 NFL season as fun as possible.

2011 Super Bowl XLV (45): Prop Betting Schedule

Leading up to the 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, we'll be taking a look at Super Bowl proposition betting, or more specifically, the funny Super Bowl 45 (XLV) prop bets that you hear so much about. That includes props on the Super Bowl coin toss, Super Bowl halftime show, Super Bowl National Anthem, Super Bowl postgame Gatorade Shower and much more. Follow along on the Super Bowl sidebar to the right!

The Super Bowl is finally set, but before we can get the ball rolling on our 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) Prop Bet analysis, we wanted to give somewhat of a layout as far as when we'll be releasing the aforementioned proposition betting insight.

This is a tentative schedule, but our main focus throughout the first week will be to touch upon our favorite props--the fun, goofier ones, such as the ones listed above: the length of Christina Aguilera's Star Spangled Banner, the pre-game coin flip, and the post-game Gatorade dump.

Over the weekend, we'll look at a few 2011 Pro Bowl props with a pick on the NFL's All-Star game between the AFC and NFC, taking place on January 30 in Hawaii.

Following the Pro Bowl, when we're officially down to the Super Bowl as the final football game of the 2010(-11) season, we'll take a closer look at some of the more serious stuff--the player and team prop bets.

Later today, we'll get the ball rolling when we take a look at some early 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) prop bets to keep an eye on. Stay with us throughout these next two weeks as we approach Super Bowl 45, and we promise, you won't be disappointed.

2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) Lines: Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

It's official: It's the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) in two weeks. Over the course of that time, we'll roll out our highly anticipated and fun Super Bowl prop bet coverage, which we'll get to in a bit.

But first things first, let's get to the just released early spread and odds for Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, just as the oddsmakers predicted headed into championship week.

Green Bay Packers -2

Pittsburgh Steelers +2

OVER/UNDER 45

Our early thoughts are that we're a little surprised Green Bay is still favored after a shaky performance in Chicago (even favored by -2 1/2 some places). The OVER/UNDER seems to be set pretty well once again, and our early gut feeling is that it will be over with the explosive Packers offense in a dome.

As for our undefeated Free NFL Playoff Picks? Not so undefeated anymore. Both the Bears and Jets failed to cover as we predicted. Keep in mind, as we have mentioned, that these picks would not necessarily be Free NFL Picks if not for the big-game stature. What fun is betting if you don't bet the big games? But they count as Free NFL Picks nonetheless, moving us down to 4-2 in the postseason and 60% (still pretty good) overall for the 2010 NFL campaign.

And our 2011 Super Bowl XLV (45) prop bet coverage begins... now. Or shortly. When we next post.

Free 2010 NFL Pro Bowl Picks

As we prepare for non-stop coverage this week leading up to the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV (44), we make a pit stop at the Pro Bowl, played in the Great 48 for the first time in decades.

We are in Miami to cover the Super Bowl, and we will get that chance on Media Day, but we are not going to the Pro Bowl, instead spending time with our trusty laptop in the hotel room--all for your benefit!

So, without further ado, here are our Free 2010 NFL Pro Bowl Picks:

NFC -3 over the AFC

OVER 58

In a game where anything can really happen, we are always tempted to just go with the underdog and take the points. In this case, though, the quarterback play in the AFC is questionable at best, and we just can't bet against the trio of Aaron Rodgers, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo. QB play is everything in the high-scoring Pro Bowl--at least that's what we are banking on.

Speaking of high-scoring, the Pro Bowl almost always is. And in a game where anything can happen, prepare for everything to happen.

If our coverage isn't enough for you, be sure to head on over to Doc's Sports. Check out their Sports Interaction Review or place some bets through them at Pinnacle Sportsbook.

More Super Bowl prop betting analysis will follow today, as well as updates from Miami throughout the week, so make Stock Lemon your home (page) for Super Bowl XLIV (44) coverage!

We've Landed in Miami!

Stock Lemon, welcome to Miami. As we mentioned earlier, Super Bowl XLIV (44) will mark our first with an actual credential to media day, and we're not letting it go to waste. In fact, we'll spend the entire week down here to get a better feel and a bettor's feel on this year's Big Game in the NFL.

Our Super Bowl coverage has already begun with our in-depth breakdown of this year's National Anthem, as sung by Carrie Underwood, and there is plenty more to come. In the next few days we'll give you updates from media day and breakdown proposition bets such as The Coin Toss and The Gatorade Shower.

And we're not the only ones having fun with Super Bowl XLIV, as the folks at Doc's Sports have Super Bowl Predictions (as we will also get to) and much more, including the return of Super Bowl Squares!

Keep checking back with us here at Stock Lemon for more Super Bowl coverage, as well as some fun Pro Bowl picks tomorrow.

2010 Super Bowl XLIV (44) Coin Toss, National Anthem and Other Fun Prop Bet Analysis Ahead

Plenty of excitement coming up here at Stock Lemon, as we plan on rolling out our analysis on the Super Bowl coin toss, National Anthem and several other fun props in the coming days.

On top of that, we'll get to cover the Pro Bowl live from Miami. As we mentioned earlier, this will be Stock Lemon's first trip to the Super Bowl (first of many, we hope), and we plan on blogging our butts off when we get to Florida on Saturday and throughout the rest of the Super Bowl week.

Until then, our annual analysis of some of the most ridiculous--as well as some of the most potentially profitable--Super Bowl proposition bets will be coming as early as Thursday.

So, as always, stay tuned and thanks for making Stock Lemon your home for the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV (44) in Miami.

We'll have you covered.

We're Back!

It's been about a week and a half since we've posted anything, which means we missed the NFL Pro Bowl and much of NBA All-Star weekend.

There's a good reason for our absence, as we'll explain later.

Fortunately, though, we're back in time for the actual NBA All-Star Game.

Western Conference -3 over Eastern Conference

Good luck!

The Lemmy Channel Moves Into Prime Time

Nevermind the ratings success of the Super Bowl, we've got our own Smash hit right here. Judging by the fantastic comments by yoga and meditation and aftershave balm on our last Lemmy Channel post, we can tell that the readers are just loving The Lemmy Channel, which is why we have moved it into prime time!

This week on The Lemmy Channel, we tell you why you should fade the Milwaukee Bucks, the hometown team up in Wisconsin. 

We also advise The Bucky Channel's readers to stop by and check out our Pro Bowl pick before participating in TBC's 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time. 

We'll do the opposite here and advise you to participate in TBC's 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time after checking out our pick here at Stock Lemon. 

Stop on by The Bucky Channel for more on Wisconsin sports as well as, before we forget to mention it, their 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time. 

It's Pro Bowl Time!

Since we're in the NFL mindset again, we'd just like to let everyone know that Stock Lemon will become your main squeeze for Pro Bowl bets this weekend as the NFL officially concludes it's schedule for the year. 

And by Pro Bowl bets, we mean the spread and over/under, unless we can find any crazy props that interest us, in which case we'll post them for a while before mysteriously deleting them. 

Anyway, make sure to check back this weekend for all your Pro Bowl needs. 

Pro Bowl Over Covers

Adrian Peterson and the NFC sqaud combined with the AFC to score a total of 72 points in this year's Pro Bowl, which was ten points above the over/under of 62.

We went 1-1 in our Pro Bowl picks this year, and while there's no shame in that, it was mostly just for fun. The real money is in the Free NBA Picks, which have been hot all year, so keep checking back for more winners in the NBA!

Free Pro Bowl Picks

We were hoping to provide you with plenty of prop bets to keep you busy on Pro Bowl Sunday, but Bodog must be all NFL-proped out, because they have nothing to offer.

As for the actual game, we like the Peyton Manning and the AFC -3 today over the NFC. The AFC has been superior to the NFC for the last few years, and the spread is usually at least a touchdown in favor of the AFC come Pro Bowl time.

We also like the teams to score over 62 points, since defense is usually non-existent in this game. Good luck!

76ers Cover

Andre Iguodala and the 76ers dominated Corey Maggette and the Clippers by a count of 101-80 tonight, giving the Free NBA Picks another winner. Philly made a mockery of the 6 1/2 point spread, crushing the Clippers early and often in this one.

The Free NBA Picks are hitting over 63%, and, if you're new to the site, they are indeed absolutely free. For the low, low price of nothing, we will continue to provide winning NBA picks throughout the season, so keep checking back for more!

For you football fans out there, don't forget that the NFL season isn't over yet, especially not here at Stock Lemon. If you're looking to lei your money on some Hawaiin football action, we'll have a few suggestions to fulfill your Pro Bowl betting needs.

Stay tuned!

Super Bowl XLII Most Watched Ever

A record number of viewers tuned in to the Super Bowl on Fox yesterday to watch, among other things, Justin Tuck and the Giants defensive line make Tom Brady look like the backup college quarterback that he once was. According to Nielsen Media Research, the Giants upset over the Patriots drew 97.5 million viewers, roughly 3.5 million more than the previous high.

For us, it means we can chalk up another prop bet victory , since we correctly predicted that this would be the most watched game in NFL history. Our record for Super Bowl prop bets this year was a modest 2-1, and we look forward to a few more prop bet victories on the Pro Bowl this coming Sunday.

Lemmy Selected to the Pro Bowl

The Super Bowl is over, but fear not, NFL fans, Stock Lemon will be all over the Pro Bowl action next Sunday. For the last game of the year, we'll have you covered with a breakdown of the profitable prop bets as well as other predictions on the game.

Remember to keep checking back for updates throughout the week.
