The problem I see is that the Pro Bowlers who ALSO happen to be playing in the Superbowl will likely skip the game. In fact, a lot more players may skip it because:
1. It's not in Hawaii (a lot of players go just for that)
2. They'll still be banged up from the season or playoffs
So, I actually think the game will be a letdown.
