The Super Bowl is behind us now but that means we're only that much closer to March Madness. There is going to be one last chance for football fans to get their fix this Sunday with the NFL Pro Bowl showcasing some of the best players in the National Football League. Can the AFC avenge the NFC Giants' Super Bowl win on Sunday?
There's also a potential NBA Finals preview on Sunday as the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs clash in Beantown. And as we get closer to March, there's also some great college basketball action including a Pac-10 showdown featuring two teams expected to have a very good March as the USC Trojans meet the Washington State Cougars.
NBA Finals Preview
San Antonio Spurs @ Boston Celtics
Sunday, 1 pm ET, ABC
Though we're not even at the NBA All-Star break quite yet Sunday could provide a preview of the NBA Finals as the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs hook up in a nationally televised game. Even without Kevin Garnett possibly sitting this one out the Celtics are a formidable team with two top scorers in Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.
The Spurs have their own all-star injury problems as Mr. Eva Longoria, Tony Parker, is out with an ankle injruy. Still, with Tim Duncan in the lineup the Spurs can cause havoc on both ends of the floor. The Spurs are 31-16 SU and only 22-24-1 ATS this season. They've won four straight coming into Sunday and a win over the Celtics may convince people that the Pau Gasol and Shaquille O'Neal trades haven't shifted the balance of power in the Western Conference just yet.

NFL PRO BOWL
American Conference vs. National Conference
Sunday, 4:30 pm ET, FOX
The Pro Bowl isn't exactly a big game, but it is the biggest game NFL fans will see until September. The best players in each conference are in Honolulu for the annual Pro Bowl game.
The AFC has the slightest of leads in the all-time series and this Sunday they'll be lead by an impressive set of quarterbacks in Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. They'll also have running back LaDainian Tomlinson and tight end Tony Gonzalez rounding out the offense.
The NFC's offense is led by, who else, Brett Favre. He'll start on Sunday and will be throwing the ball to Terrell Owens and Larry Fitzgerald. Defensively they'll have Patrick Kerney, Ken Hamlin and DeMarcus Ware in their to stop Peyton and Co. from winning another one for the AFC.

USC Trojans @ #17 - Washington State Cougars
Saturday 3:30 pm ET, ABC
After a devastating loss to the UCLA Bruins earlier in the week the Washington State Cougars need to get back on track and while their opponent isn't ranked, the USC Trojans have registered a win over those same Bruins already this season.
The Cougars are 17-5 overall this season, but only 5-5 in the Pac-10. The Trojans meanwhile are 15-7 and 6-4 in the conference. Saturday's matchup will be a rematch of the January 10th game in Los Angeles that saw the Cougars embarass the Trojans 73-58.
The Trojans are 13-7 ATS this season and are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games. They've also covered the spread in six of their last seven games. The Cougars have only covered in one of their last eight games and 3-5 SU during that span.
