Game On! Sports Schedule for January 25-27, 2013
Football fans anxious for the Super Bowl will have to settle this weekend for the Pro Bowl.
The best of the NFC and AFC will line up Sunday in this exhibition, which usually features the beautiful backdrop of Hawaii, a lack of defense and an abundance of scoring. Last season, the NFC drilled the AFC, 55-41, marking the third consecutive year at least one of the squads cracked the 40-point mark.
If the Pro Bowl doesn't get you pumped up, there is plenty of other action, since it's a busy weekend in sports. Here's a look at the schedule. All times Eastern:
