Predictions for the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl

We give our take on who should make the NFC and AFC Pro Bowl roster.

USA TODAY Sports

Tonight at around 5 PM MST, the NFL Network will air their Pro Bowl selection show. In that, they will name the starters for both the NFC and AFC, as well as the reserves. There are some players that are bound to get snuffed due to the bigger names, yet possibly less deserving stars getting in ahead of them.

The fans already got their chance to vote, but here are my selections for the AFC and NFC squads. As always, feel free to yell at me and tell me how stupid I am in the comments section below. * denotes who I believe should be the starter(s) for that position. As always, thanks to Pro Football Focus' awesome premium stats section for assisting me in creating this list.
