Pro Bowl bets on flag football
Starting in 2023, the NFL Pro Bowl became a flag football game.
Sport that will make its debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, instead of a conventional American soccer duel.
This modality was adopted to avoid player injuries after a long regular season.
Flag football is a non-contact sport in which in order to stop the opponent you have to strip him of one of the straps on the sides of his hips.
This year’s edition will take place in the San Francisco Bay Area, which will host Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
