Not necessarily. Statistics show that since the 1970 merger of the NFL and the AFL there have been 20 instances of a team from the opposite conference winning the Superbowl as opposed to the conference team that won the Pro Bowl in the same year. There have been 19 instances of a team from the same conference as the Pro Bowl winner , winning the Superbowl in the same year. This makes it almost dead even. Since 2000 there have been only 4 times that a team from from the opposite conference as the Pro Bowl winner, has gone on to win the Superbowl.

Members of the New Orleans Saints that are representing the City of New Orleans were just introduced at the Pro Bowl in Miami. The Saints players that are representing our great city are: Drew Brees, Jonathan Stinchcomb, Jahri Evans, Jonathan Goodwin, Jonathan Vilma, Darren Sharper and Roman Harper. Even though they are not playing in the Pro Bowl I am confident that they will represent the City of New Orleans well.
