Pro Bowl Predictions

[Bretsky]

The OL are sometimes laughable. McKinnie is solid, but has been overrated most of his career. I've heard that Hutchinson has dropped off this year, but a lot of OL hang onto the Pro Bowl votes at the end of their careers on name only. I can't really argue with any of the other Packer or Viking selections. We have some guys that are playing near Pro Bowl level though--Grant, Sitton, Jennings, Finley, Jenkins, Barnett, Matthews.

Kind of head scratching that Orakpo makes it over Matthews.

Orakpo
Team Record: 4-11
Defensive Ranks: Points allowed: 16th, Yards allowed: 11th
48 tackles, 11 sacks, 4 stuffs, 1 forc. fumble, 0 fum. rec., 2 PDs

Matthews
Team Record: 10-5
Defensive Ranks: Points allowed: 9th, Yards allowed: 2nd
50 tackles, 10 sacks, 8 stuffs, 1 forc. fum., 3 fum. rec., 5 PDs

Carucci had Matthews in and Orakpo out.

I don't get it either; on NFL Radio they often hype Orakpo and called Matthews an unknown sleeper. Matthews is better; don't get it.

You really think Sitton is playing that well ?

I think Hawk got the nod over Barnett because he's been around the football a little bit more as far as TO's ...

That website (cant think of the name) that rates players based on all sorts of stats has Sitton as the 4th or 5th best guard in the league. He's had very few "losses" in 1-on-1 situations this year compared to his competition.
