Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The National Football League spices up its Super Bowl off-week with the Pro Bowl this season; the selected players from the AFC and NFC will meet at 7:20pm ET at Miami's Sun Life Stadium on Sunday night. Oddsmakers like the NFC in this contest, which won't feature any players from either the Colts or the Saints. The NFC is pegged as the 2.5-point favorite, with the total set at 57 points. Indy is the 5.5-point Super Bowl fave, with that total pegged at 56.5 points.



Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

There are nine games on tap in the NBA on Sunday, with Denver at San Antonio, the Clippers at Cleveland, Orlando at Detroit, Philadelphia at New Jersey, Indiana at Toronto, Phoenix at Houston, New York at Minnesota, Golden State at Oklahoma City, and the Lakers at Boston. This will be the first meeting of the season between the Lakers and Celtics; they'll play again in Los Angeles on February 18. The Lakers were 2-0 against the Celtics during the 2008/09 season.



As well, there are four ranked teams in action around college basketball on Sunday, with Florida at No. 14 Tennessee, Minnesota at No. 20 Ohio State, No. 17 Pittsburgh at South Florida, and Penn State at No. 10 Purdue.
