The 2022 NFL Pro Bowl will be played after a one-year hiatus on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. This matchup was canceled last year due to COVID-19. The AFC leads the all-time series 25-22 and is listed as a one-point favorite in the latest 2022 NFL Pro Bowl odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under is 62.5.

Before making any 2022 NFL Pro Bowl picks, you NEED to see which side SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein is on. A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed while working for Pro Football Focus. This season, he has been on fire. Hartstein is 74-49-1 in his last 124 NFL sides, for a profit of more than $1700. 

Hartstein has considered that the AFC's roster is filled with many dynamic playmakers on the offensive side. Los Angeles' Justin Herbert and Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes are two of the best young signal-callers in the NFL. Both quarterbacks threw for over 4,600 yards and more than 35 touchdowns. Indianapolis' Jonathan Taylor (1,811 yards, 18 TDs), Cleveland's Nick Chubb (1,259, 8 TDs), and Pittsburgh's Najee Harris (1,200 yards, 7 TDs) are dominant tailbacks for the AFC. 

He also has factored in that the NFC has star pass-catchers on their roster. Minnesota's Justin Jefferson (1,616 yards, 10 TDs), Atlanta's Kyle Pitts (1,026 yards, 15.1 yards per reception), and Tampa Bay's Mike Evans (1,035 yards, 14 TDs) all can take over with their outstanding talents. Playmakers on the defensive end include Dallas' Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs, and Tampa Bay's Devin White.

We can tell you Hartstein is leaning Over on the point total. He also has discovered a critical X-factor that has him jumping ALL OVER one side of the spread. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what it is before locking in any 2022 Pro Bowl picks.
