Week 14 Predictions

So we are winding down our first season in the the online franchise as the actual NFL is about to begin, this is my favorite time of the year, football, football and more football. So here's a record of how i've done with predictions so far this season:

week 3:10-6
week 4:11-3
week 6:10-4
week 7:7-7
week 9:7-6
week 12:12-4

And without further ado here are the predictions

Colts (4-8) vs. Titans (2-10)
So the league's long lost commissioner has finally returned and lost his last game against the Jaguars. The Colts are doing something, I actually think all 4 of their wins are from the cpu beating actual users. I know the Titans user claims he is an underrated user and he's in a rebuilding year. I don't know what to expect but I'm going to give the Titans a win here.
Titans over the Colts

Bengals (3-9) vs. Steelers (7-5)
The Steelers are hoping they can somehow finish off this season as the division winners, with the Ravens being a crapfest and the Bengals being so far behind, they just need to win a few more and have the Browns lose another game or two. The Bengals are just playing to try to win a few more games and prove they can win games. Based on their performances the Steelers should win.
Steelers over the Bengals

Falcons (4-8) vs. Panthers (4-8)
These teams are equals as far as records tell. I will cut a bit of slack for the Panthers since they sat unused for a good part of the season. The Falcons have had some close games and some not so close games. I'm going to give the edge to the Falcons here, they are looking to rebound after 2 straight losses.
Falcons over the Panthers

Packers (5-7) vs. Lions (5-7)
Last time these two teams met, I won. I am hoping to do the same as both me and Lions are fighting to not be last in the NFC North. He's going to do the same 3 plays to Megatron and Turner, hopefully the Packers can just take the time to cover those noobs.
Packers over the Lions

Patriots (8-3) vs. Bears (10-2)
The Bears lost 2 games in a row and has now claimed to be back with a new offense and ready to reclaim his title as the top madden dog in our franchise. The Patriots have been having a great season as well but if the Bears really are back they will be no match for them.
Bears over the Patriots

Browns (5-7) vs. Bills (1-11)
There is a new Browns user in town and maybe he will last longer, the last Browns user had to quit after a few weeks because of the amount of stink that was coming from his team. The Bills have only won a game but at least they are sticking with it this season and aren't just rolling over. I think the Bills get their second win this week.
Bills over the Browns

Giants (7-5) vs. Vikings (6-6)
The Giants went from being on the most vocal users in the franchise to being someone who has decided that this franchise won't last as long as another he is currently in. The Giants were looking good earlier this season, it seems they have the same problem the actual Giants did last year, they can't close our their season. The Vikings are still riding the AP train and could still have a shot at the playoffs with a win here.
Giants over the Vikings

Raiders (9-2) vs. Jaguars (11-1)
So the Raiders were given a warning for trying to tank their season, but that doesn't mean he can't play shitty and tank his season without it being as apparent. The Jaguars are dominating this season and I'm having doubts about any team being able to stop them (well 1 team did but you know what I mean). If the Raiders give it their all this should be an excellent game.
Jaguars over the Raiders

Buccaneers (10-2) vs. Redskins (6-6)
Last week I wasn't sold on the Buccaneers, this week I am. Sold on the users skill and the fact that gamestopmachine must be training this guy. The Redskins may have been looking up won't be very long into this game.
Buccaneers over the Redskins

Seahawks (5-7) vs. 49ers (9-3)
No love for the Seahawks this week, the 49ers are a tough team to beat. After playing me last week I am convinced the 49ers user is one of the better people at defense in our franchise. I expect him to stop the Seahawks mid-flight.
49ers over the Seahawks

Rams (1-11) vs. Saints (7-5)
The new Saints user has caught my attention and I am interested in how these next couple weeks playout for him. Could he potentially make a run at the Superbowl and repeat the real NFL? Maybe, or it could just be beginners luck, but until he starts to lose games I'm going to keep giving him to win. I'm excited to see how the Saints end up doing the rest of this season.
Saints over the Rams

Dolphins (11-1) vs. Jets (7-4)
I'm cheering for my former NFC Northerner in this matchup. Revis is a chump and overrated in this game so I just want to see Brandon Marshall take a dump on his face. The Dolphins are riding a wave this season, and its taking them directly to the playoffs. Like I said the Jets, well lets just say I wouldn't be sad if these Jets went swimming with the Dolphins (get it? The Jets are crashing in the ocean).
Dolphins over the Jets

Chiefs (4-8) vs. Chargers (6-5)
This is my game of the week. The homeless Chiefs user versus the rich and famous Chargers user. Since I've found out the Chargers user is half black I always wondered why he wasn't better at Madden (racism at it's finest). But I know the Chargers will beat the Chiefs here, this is like the Superbowl for the bads.
Chargers over the Chiefs (f*** Jon)

Broncos (8-4) vs. Cardinals (9-3)
The Cardinals are neck and neck with the 49ers for their division and with the new fix they might even be able to actually win the division. The Broncos are most likely in the fight for a wild card, is either team going to give up easily? No, both teams have a lot to lose besides some pride. I'm going to go with the better overall here and pick the Cardinals since I'm not a good student haven't done my research on these Broncos.
Cardinals over the Broncos

Eagles (3-9)(CPU?) vs. Cowboys (9-3)
The Cowboys user gets to play the cpu Eagles, what else is there to say, they should win, if not I'll be scratching my head next week.
Cowboys over the Eagles

Ravens (0-12)(CPU?) vs. Texans (4-8)
I like how the last two games I had to predict this week were users against the cpu. I expect the Texans to win here but it's pretty sad that the most stacked team in the league is going to end up with the #1 draft pick, some lucky new user is in for a surprise some day.
Texans over the Ravens

Monday, September 6, 2010

Week 13 Predictions

Texans (3-8) vs. Eagles (3-8)(CPU?)
You've heard this one before, the Eagles are a joke without a user to win them games. The Texans user is trying to salvage the season after being out for so long. But he should at least be able to take the computer down.
Texans over the Eagles

Jaguars (10-1) vs. Titans (2-9)(CPU?)
Maybe Clay will come back this week but maybe not. I think he moved into a new apartment with Jon and they haven't finished unpacking yet. If the Jaguars play the Titans as a cpu they should win. If they play the Titans user they will win.
Jaguars over the Titans

Broncos (7-4) vs. Chiefs (4-7)
Last time these two teams played the Broncos came away with the win and it's only been a few weeks so I haven't seen either team change much one way or another so I'm going to give the edge to the Broncos. I think the Chiefs stand a good chance in this one but not enough to pull out a victory.

Redskins (5-5) vs. Giants (7-4)
This division is pretty close as far as who could win it. But the Giants and Cowboys have proven they are the top dogs thus far and I don't see that changing. I'm not even sure the Redskins user is still around he may have dropped off earth again (he hasn't even won the Superbowl yet...wtf?)
Giants over the Redskins

Bears (10-1) vs. Lions (4-7)
Yeah I don't know really know what to say here except the Lions are going to lose and the Bears, well they are going to win. The Bears are trying to put away the division clinch here so they are in it to win it.
Bears over the Lions

Falcons (4-7) vs. Buccaneers (9-2)
The Buccaneers continue to show their dominance in this online franchise, it's too bad it won't carry over to the actual NFL. The Falcons lost in a close game last week to the Packers. I'm still not sold on the Buccaneers user being as good as their record shows since gamestopmachine was in control of the team for half of the season.
Falcons over the Buccaneers

Saints (6-5) vs. Bengals (3-8)
So the Cowboys user lost to the Saints and after his lost he admitted that this new Saints user is good and that means more competition in the NFC. The poor Bengals are probably just hoping that next season they can do better. I'm going to say the Saints are going to be a force in the NFC and also give them the win this week.
Saints over the Bengals

Bills (1-10) vs. Vikings (4-6)
Yeah, the Bills are bad, what else can be said? At least they have won one game though. Maybe that blockbuster trade that went down in the beginning of the season is haunting him, maybe his team is that bad or maybe he isn't anything special. The Vikings have a stacked team and are stuck at 4-6, but they will beat the crappy Bills.
Vikings over the Bills

Browns (5-5)(CPU?) vs. Dolphins (10-1)
The Dolphins are proving something this year, they can take the division. He is coming off a win over the Raiders, even though the Raiders quit the game half way through so I'm not sure how much that counts for but it could be a confidence booster. The Browns are in the shitter again, I'm not sure what happened to their user.
Dolphins over the Browns

49ers (8-3) vs. Packers (5-6)
I'm worried about this game, I couldn't sleep last night and I'm a nervous wreck today (I'm just kidding I did sleep last night). I (the Packers) need to win this game to stay in the playoff hunt, the 49ers are coming off a tough loss but still are a team to be respected. I say the 49ers continue their dominance against me.
49ers over the Packers

Raiders (9-2) vs. Chargers (5-5)
The Raiders are trying to tank their season, but I don't think anyone told them that after winning 8 games tanking a season to get a high draft pick is not going to work. The Chargers, well they have a user who owns taco bells, what's not to like about that?
Raiders over the Chargers (if the Raiders don't quit out)

Rams (1-10) vs. Cardinals (8-3)
The Rams stink, poor Sam Bradford. The Cardinals are doing alright without one Kurt Warner. The Rams are pretty much out of any playoff race and the Cardinals are in the hunt for even a division title.
Cardinals over the Rams

Cowboys (8-3) vs. Colts (4-6)(CPU?)
The Colts cpu team is nothing to laugh at, they've beaten a few users this season but don't expect the Cowboys to be one of those teams. The Cowboys are looking to keep rolling right along this season.
Cowboys over the Colts

Panthers (4-7) vs. Seahawks (4-7)
So I know the Seahawks user is looking for some love this season and I haven't given them much this season but I think they'll take this game. The Panthers haven't impressed me that much this season, both teams are fighting to stay alive, another loss for either could spell disaster.
Seahawks over the Panthers

Steelers (6-5) vs. Ravens (0-11)(CPU?)
So the Steelers get to play the worst team in the league, the Ravens. The Ravens do have some talent on their team but no user to control it and do anything useful with it. Which is a bit disappointing, but at least that means the Steelers still have a chance at the division.
Steelers over the Ravens

Jets (7-4) vs. Patriots (8-3)
The Patriots continue to prove they are a team to be reckoned with and the Jets are trying to show that last year's actual NFL run in the playoffs wasn't a fluke. The Jets have had a few rough games lately but aren't going to lay down. The Patriots are looking to show that Brady is back.
Patriots over the Jets

Thursday, September 2, 2010

Week 12 Predictions

Patriots (7-2) vs. Lions (4-6)
Hey so I'm glad the Lions are doing better than they will in the actual NFL this year but 4-6 is nothing to write home about. The Patriots are in the playoff race and every game matters to them. The Lions, well at this point they are just hoping they can win a few more games and maybe make a .500 season.
Patriots over the Lions

Saints (5-5) vs. Cowboys (8-2)
I'm glad this Saints user isn't wasting his team and is actually doing some justice to the Saints. The Cowboys continue to be one of the top teams in the NFC. The Cowboys have been pretty consistent week in and week out and expect that to continue.
Cowboys over the Saints

Bengals (3-7) vs. Jets (6-4)
So the Bengals are pretty much at the point of too little too late and this season is just one they might want to write off. The Jets are trying to take their stacked defense and make a run for the playoffs. There is still some time left in the season and the Jets have had a few rough losses so maybe they can try to pull themselves back up instead of crying about how a quarterback doesn't sit in the pocket for him to get sacks from.
Jets over the Bengals

Titans (2-8)(CPU?) vs. Texans (2-8)
So the Titans user is in such a rebuilding year that he isn't even playing games anymore and is pulling clay shady move 3 (free Frank gore, back door trades and now this...). Anyways I'll still give the Texans the excuse of having hand surgery so he's still not used to his new hook hand, but at least Andre Johnson is winning his games.
Texans over the Titans

Buccaneers (8-2) vs. Ravens (0-10)(CPU?)
So after the former Buccaneers user got run out of the league he promised he would teach the new user how to control the team and dominate us with the team he created. I didn't expect the next user to keep the winning record but so far they have. Maybe gamestopmachine is pulling some strings (or doing something shady). And the Ravens user has finally revoked his membership to the AP Madden online franchise so the CPU can lose some more games.
Buccaneers over the Ravens

Jaguars (9-1) vs. Giants (7-3)
So the Jaguars have been one of the better teams this year and the Giants user who claims he is bad actually is proving he has some Madden skills and can do more than just bitch (but expect him to rub getting to the playoffs into everyone's face in any type of argument as well as belittle people's victories). What really matters here though is that the Jaguars is a better user and should come out on top here.
Jaguars over the Giants

Panthers (3-7) vs. Browns (5-5)(CPU?)
I'm not really sure what's going on with the Browns, he's gone somewhere. If the Panthers user get to play the CPU he should win here. It sucks the Panthers were open so long so the user had to start with a shitty record but at least he's a trooper.
Panthers over the Browns

Steelers (5-5) vs. Bills (1-9)
The Steelers are trying to salvage their season and make something happen. They were off to a rocky start but things seem to be looking up. The Bills are the Bills, maybe in the hindsight the user wouldn't have traded away their defense but who knows. What I do know is they aren't winning games this season.
Steelers over the Bills

Eagles (3-7)(CPU?) vs. Bears (9-1)
Well what can I even say about the Eagles? They aren't having a good season, yes. They are last in the NFC East, yes. They will beat the Bears, no. Since I'm guessing the Bears user is playing the CPU here this is an easy win to bounce back after a rough loss, if he plays a user it is still a good game to bounce back on but he might have a little bit more work to do.
Bears over the Eagles

Vikings (4-6) vs. Redskins (5-5)
The Vikings have AP (not absolutepunk). The Redskins have players. Neither team has shown signs of greatness this season, this is just one of those middle of the road games that every season has. As the Packers user and fan I am rooting for the Redskins (I'll even give you a type, stop AP).
Vikings over the Redskins

Packers (4-6) vs. Falcons (4-6)
So my season has been shit, I can't string together more than a few wins and well, I'm playing someone in similar shoes. I have no idea what to expect, I thought I would have a good season but I was wrong there, I thought maybe the Falcons would be a surprise team, also wrong there. I wish I could give myself the win here, but if the Falcons can get things going, they'll dominate the Pack.
Falcons over the Packers

Chiefs (3-6) vs. Seahawks (4-6)
So I just watched Matt Cassel throw an interception to Jarret Bush in the preseason game that is going on right now (for those people that don't follow the Packers, Jarret Bush is the biggest shitter on the team). But the Chiefs user knows that Charles will win him the game, I'm not sure what the Seahawks know or do. I'm going to give Charles the advantage here
Charles (and the Chiefs) over the Seahawks

Dolphins (9-1) vs. Raiders (9-1)
Oh boy!!! Two top AFC teams are going to be having an epic battle here (yeah that was corny). Anyways, I'm going to call this the Vanderbeekbowl (since Brian always gave Brandon the good ol Vanderbeek). The Dolphins are coming off a huge victory and the Raiders are coming off another game winning season tanker. After beating the Bears some might give the Dolphins the edge here, but going off my gut (which is a nice sized gut) I think the Raiders win.
Raiders over the Dolphins

Rams (1-9) vs. Broncos (6-3)
So the Rams stink just like in real life. The Broncos are doing better than they probably will do in the real NFL. I know I've been riding the "why would you get rid of your best player, Steven Jackson" train all season and I'm going to keep on riding it. I don't have much to say for the Broncos except, yeah.
Broncos over the Rams

Chargers (4-5) vs. Colts (3-6)
So the Chargers are now having their run at being the commissioner of the online franchise league. Lets see how he fares, will the pressure be too much and cost him games? If so he's a pussy. The Colts are another one of those teams that got screwed because of having no user to start off and other stuff like that. But I think one of the Chargers million linebackers will make some plays.
Chargers over the Colts

49ers (8-2) vs. Cardinals (6-3)
I like both of these teams for sleeper picks, both have had some close games when they lost and both have records that could get to the playoffs. I'm not too sure what to say for either of these teams, I think I saw the 49ers user say something about the new Anberlin album so he gets a +1 in my book (remember when people were trying to sucker this guy into trades, another +1 for this guy proving he's not a total noob at this game).
49ers over the Cardinals

Week 9 Matchup Predictions!

Here is my breakdown of how my predictions have gone so far this year:
Week 3:10-6
Week 4:11-3
Week 6:10-4
Week 7:7-7 (ouch)
Overall:38-20

I'm going to try to bounce back with these week 9 predictions, you guys move too fast so I missed week 8.

Buccaneers (6-1)(CPU?) vs. Falcons (2-5)
Well if the Buccaneers stay a CPU controlled team I sure hope these Falcons can win. I know they haven't really done too much winning this season but they'll take what they can get and a CPU game is a nice vacation sometimes.
Falcons over the Buccaneers

Saints (3-5)(CPU?) vs. Panthers (2-5)
So the Saints user pulled the ultimate dick move, he dropped good players and then dropped the league, because he sucked so much that he couldn't win games and week in and week out got killed. He traded away all their young talent, anyways I could on about this terrible Saints user but I'm just glad he's gone. Another user vs. cpu game so I'm not too worried about the Panthers here.
Panthers over the Saints

Bears (7-0) vs. Bills (1-6)
What can I say here? One of the best users in the league against one of the weakest teams in the league. As the season goes on I feel the Bills have a harder and harder time winning games. Maybe they can string together a few more wins this season to show they aren't one of the worst users, but don't expect them to upset the Bears.
Bears over the Bills

Jets (4-3) vs. Lions (3-4)
The Lions are biting back, after what started to look like a hopeless season is maybe starting to turn around. The Jets took a close loss to the Packers, the game coming down to the final second. As the Packers I'm hoping the Jets can give the Lions a loss to give me a little more breathing room in the NFC North but unfortunately I think I'm going to be out of luck.
Lions over the Jets

Dolphins (5-1) vs. Ravens (0-7)(CPU?)
So I'm not sure if the Ravens user is going to be back ever or not, I think he said he was moving but I'm not really sure (I am sure it's somewhere where weed is legalized) and I'm also not too sure he even remembers where (and if) he packed his xbox. Anyways, we haven't seen too many vanderbeeks this season and we probably won't see anymore after this game.
Dolphins over the Ravens

Patriots (5-2) vs. Browns (5-2)
Both of these teams have surprised me in this franchise. The Patriots continue to do solid against opponents and the same goes for the Browns. This should actually be a good matchup if I'm any good at guessing how close games are and such (I actually quit guessing scores after the first week because I don't think I was close with even one game). I actually am not too sure who's going to win this one, I'm going to go with the Patriots only because it has a better team overall.
Patriots over the Browns

Chargers (4-4) vs. Texans (0-7)
So the Texans user is finally back after having some sort of hand surgery from whacking off too much, so maybe he can help the Texans win a game and make the playoffs for the first time in their existence. The Chargers, well I'm pretty sure their user had to kill a few people off this week after doing some inspecting at the local taco bell. I think the Texans user is still trying to recover (also, is Andre Johnson back yet?) so the Chargers might win.
Chargers over the Texans

Cardinals (5-2) vs. Vikings (3-4)(CPU?)
I think the Vikings user is on vacation so the Cardinals have a nice little game they get to play against the cpu, I really hope they win this one (again as someone in the NFC North this would be nice). Anyways, I like the Cardinals, they've only lost twice and I know once was against the league favorite so I'm going to keep a close eye on these guys, could maybe be a sleeper pick.
Cardinals over the Vikings

Giants (6-1) vs. Seahawks (2-5)
So the Giants have only lost the Bears (and let's be honest who hasn't lost to those guys) and the Seahwaks are just trying to get by this season. The Giants user isn't known for his kindness and I feel sorry for the Seahawks here because they should expect little to no mercy from the bisexual Giants (bend over Seahawks!)*
Giants over the Seahawks

Chiefs (3-4) vs. Raiders (7-1)
So the Chiefs apparently tore up the Bills user last week using Charles, but I don't see a repeat performance for this matchup. Yeah the Chiefs user finally started winning some games, but the Raiders have also won 7 games, if the Chiefs doubled their wins they still wouldn't be ahead of the Raiders. (Don't worry though Jon, there is always next season, right?)
Raiders over the Chiefs

Colts (3-4)(CPU?) vs. Eagles (1-6)
If the Eagles in the real NFL saw this franchise I think they would be a bit worried that they traded away their starting QB, because, it sure looks from their record that they miss him. This is another cpu game, but the Colts cpu actually beats people and that's what is scary (especially when the Eagles have only won 1 game).
Colts over the Eagles

Cowboys (5-2) vs. Packers (4-4)
I really wish I could stay above .500(remember I'm the Packers) but after this game I'll having a losing record again. The Cowboys came off a surprising loss to the Giants only to turn around take down the undefeated Jaguars and that scares me. However, I have played against the Bears who are also undefeated and have had some close games so maybe this will be close than I think. But in the end, the Cowboys (who I hate very much) will be victorious.
Cowboys over the Packers

Steelers (4-3) vs. Bengals (1-5)
So there is a new user in town and he controls the Bengals. I really have no idea how good this guy is, he hasn't played his week 8 game so I have nothing to measure him against. I know the Steelers have a solid user so I'm hoping he can just play a solid game and come up on top here.
Steelers over the Bengals

*Mike I have no idea of your sexual orientation and I'm not trying to be a dick or anything just making light of stuff said in the AP thread.

Week 7 Matchup Predictions

So far for week 6 I'm 9-3 with two more games to be played (for those of you that care how good I am at predicting who is going to win). Anyways, here is week 7. The league moves really fast so I try to get these up for each week, but if I miss a week, I apologize in advance (week 5 lol).

Eagles (1-5) vs. Titans (1-5)
So the Titans are in a self proclaimed rebuilding year, well I don't ever remember the Lions saying they were in a rebuilding year when they went 0-16 in the actual NFL. There are worse teams out there that have better records. The Eagles hopefully finally have found a user that is going to stick with it and try to win some games. Seeing as the Titans are one of the worst teams this year, I'm going on with the Eagles here.
Eagles over the Titans

Bengals (1-4) vs. Falcons (1-5)
Here is another crap fest. I know the Bengals had some problems and had some games simmed and what not, but he needs to take control of his team and put some wins together. This Falcons user isn't much better. I'm not even sure who is going to win this. So I'm pulling for the league veteran.
Bengals over the Falcons

Browns (4-2) vs. Saints (3-3)
So in my first post I ever made I think I took a dump on the Browns and said they might as well be called the Cleveland shitters, I was wrong, apparently they can win games. I was also pretty harsh on the poor Saints. The Browns got a user to take them places and well the Saints finally learned how to throw the ball after he played his 4th game of Madden.
Browns over the Saints

Steelers (3-2) vs. Dolphins (4-1)
I've been waiting for the Steelers to get their game together and put together a winning season and it looks like he has finally kicked it into gear and is working on salvaging a season that looked scary for a bit. The Dolphins are off to a very strong start though. The Steelers are going to desperate for another win so expect them to put up a fight.
Steelers over the Dolphins

Rams (0-5) vs. Buccaneers (5-0)
So we have the terribad rams facing the good Buccaneers, this isn't even a fair game. Will the Rams even show up? Maybe. Will the Rams score a point? Probably not. Nothing can beat a pirate ship.
Buccaneers over the Rams

49ers (5-1) vs. Panthers (1-4)
The 49ers were handed their first loss by the favored Raiders last week and the Panthers, well they finally have an owner. Watch for the 49ers to get back on track to winning games after a loss to the league favorite. But don't count out the Panthers, there is still time to turn this season around.
49ers over the Panthers

Redskins (4-2) vs. Bears (6-0)
So the Redskins are coming off a loss to the computer, the Bears are coming off another win and continue to prove they are one of the best users in the AP Madden 11 online franchise. The Redskins will probably put up a fight, but if you put an Indian up against a bear, the bear will eat the Indian.
Bears over the Redskins

Jaguars (6-0) vs. Chiefs (2-3)
So after calling out the Chiefs to do something to win a game they finally decided to come out and play. The Jaguars continue to dominate, can the Chiefs finally topple the mighty Jags? Probably not. Watch out for the Giants/Mike/MHT's sleeper pick the Jaguars, you don't want to mess with this cat.
Jaguars over the Chiefs

Bills (0-5) vs. Ravens (0-5)
I'm not even sure the Ravens user is using his controller, I wouldn't be surprised if he sported the Guitar Hero controller when trying to play Madden. Maybe his clock is stuck on 4:20, we may never know. The Bills still haven't won a game either. This is kind of how the Rams and Lions played each other last year in a real NFL game, one of these shitters is going to get at least one win this year.
Bills over the Ravens

Cardinals (3-2) vs. Seahawks (2-3)
So the Cardinals surprised everyone earlier this season by sticking close in a game with one of the top users in the league, a few weeks later, he may have lost some credibility (we were left scratching our heads after he was close to beating the Raiders, how could this guy lose?) but he is still a user people should be weary of. The Seahawks are like the Seahawks in real life, win a game here or there but aren't really anything too special.
Cardinals over the Seahawks

Raiders (6-0) vs. Broncos (3-3)
So I'm glad the Broncos are winning games now and that someone cares about them, but they are not match for the Raiders. The Raiders are one of the three teams that are 6-0 at this point in the season and next week I expect them to be part of the 7-0 club. I'm rooting for you Broncos just not this week.
Raiders over the Broncos

Patriots (3-1) vs. Chargers (2-3)
Remember that time when the Chargers traded away their team and got 1000 linebackers out of the whole ordeal, well it just happened this season so you should. I like the Chargers user, he has his own militia with his kids and he owns taco bells (I love taco bell) but is he the greatest user, no, but he isn't the worst. The Patriots seem to me to be a pretty good user, I'm still sizing them up but the Patriots user is from Wisconsin and we all know that the Wisconsin users in this league kick butt.
Patriots over the Chargers

Vikings (2-3) vs. Packers (3-3)
So I'm in a bit of a rut currently, I (the Packers) have lost my last two games. The Vikings must not have Brett Favre because they aren't winning games. If Favre does show up to this game my main goal is to break his spine so he dies on the field in Green Bay while the Packers take a dump on his body.
Packers over the Vikings

Giants (5-1) vs. Cowboys (4-1)
As a Packers fan I remember how much I hated the Cowboys back in the day and I still hate them. But the Cowboys user wins games, the Giants win games. I expect the Cowboys to win this one though. These users are fighting for top dog in their division and I expect neither to go down without a fight but at the end of the day the Cowboys will be victorious.
Cowboys over the Giants

Week 6 Matchup Predictions!

So I'm a little late with my week 5 and some of the games have already been played so I'm just going to skip right along and hit the week 6 predictions. But before I do that lets look at my record for predictions:

Week 3:10-6
Week 4:11-3

Overall:21-9

Without further ado, the Week 6 predictions:

Browns (4-1) vs. Steelers (2-2)
So the browns finally have a user to help them try to actually compete for one year in the dirty AFC North. The Steelers user seems to be in a slump this year and having a difficult time keeping his season alive. I'm going to say this is a close game, but I'm going to give the edge the Steelers who really need this win.
Steelers over Browns

Saints (2-2) vs. Buccaneers (4-0)
The Buccaneers user is out to prove he earned that local gamestop tournament win. I'm still very weary of the Saints, I am rooting for this guy to step up his game and dominate with the real life Superbowl winners and give the big easy another Superbowl win. But really, the Buccaneers are going to demolish the Saints.
Buccaneers over the Saints

Dolphins (3-1) vs. Packers (3-2)
I (Packers) used to play the Dolphins user all the time in Madden 10 when he was the Vikings. So this is going to be a homecoming type game for the Dolphins (not really but whatever, an old school NFC North battle). These should be a great matchup, based on our past records I'm going to give the Dolphins a win here.
Dolphins over the Packers

Chargers (2-3) vs. Rams (0-5)
So the Rams stink, in real life and in this game. The Chargers user may not be the best user in the league but at least he can win some games. I don't expect this to be a pretty game, but at least the Chargers have a team.
Chargers over the Rams

Ravens (0-4) vs. Patriots (3-1)
I think maybe the Ravens user has been having some xbox or internet troubles so if I am correct a few of his games may have been simmed, but maybe (just maybe) he can put it behind him and come out and play with the boys. I'm still not sure of the Patriots user, can he play with the big boys or is a child in a man's game?
Patriots over the Ravens

Chiefs (0-3) vs. Texans (0-4)(CPU)
Oh boy, talk about a toilet bowl, at least the Texans have the excuse of not having a user. The Chiefs user needs to get going, this isn't the preseason, you can't lose all your games and still expect to win something. I know the Chiefs aren't a good team but you at least have to try! I want to say the Chiefs win here but I'm not even sure about that.
Chiefs (f*** you jon, win a game) over the Texans

Lions (2-3) vs. Giants (3-1)
The Lions user hasn't done much to prove himself in Madden 11, but here is his chance. I'm going to give the Giants the win here but if the Lions can at least stay close in this game maybe there is hope for them after all.
Giants over the Lions

Falcons (1-4) vs. Eagles (0-5)
The Eagles have put up the fewest points so far this season (a whooping 46 after 5 games). I'm worried about these guys. The Falcons have been struggling too. Apparently it's a bad year to be a bird. I'm going to say the Falcons come up on top only because the Eagles user is brand new and at least the Falcons have won a game this year.
Falcons over the Eagles

Seahawks (2-2) vs. Bears (5-0)
The Bears are starting to look very scary, still undefeated after 5 weeks but he can't get lazy (hey remember last year when everyone was jumping on the Broncos and Giants bandwagon in the actual NFL?). I can't see the Bears losing this one, like I said, it's a bad year to be a bird (good year to be a bear).
Bears over the Seahawks

Raiders (5-0) vs. 49ers (5-0)
Two undefeated teams playing, does it get any better than this. One from the AFC the other from the NFC, this is as good as it gets till the Superbowl (it might not so don't get angry if it gets better). The Raiders user is still the most respected player in the Madden 11 Franchise, if the 49ers can stick with him, maybe this is a Superbowl preview.
Raiders over the 49ers

Jets (3-1) vs. Broncos (1-3)
So the Broncos are another one of those teams that the CPU was running into the ground, but now that there is a user maybe they still have a chance. The Jets have come rolling onto the scene and have been a scary opponent for other Users. Maybe the Broncos could surprise a few people by making the Jets fight for this victory.
Jets over the Broncos

Cowboys (3-1) vs. Vikings (2-1)
As a Packers fan I hate both of these teams but I really need the Cowboys to come through and hand the Vikings a loss. The Cowboys user has made quite a few trades this season and it seems to be paying off so far, the Vikings have AP (what else do you need in this game). The edge goes to the seasoned Online Franchise veteran.
Cowboys over the Vikings

Colts (1-3) vs. Redskins (4-1)
I don't know about this Colts user so I don't want to write him off (or hype him up before I can see him play a few more games). But at the same time the Redskins are proving they are a force to be reckoned with and are whose user is maybe making another Superbowl run. It's a little bit too early to give him that much, but expect a Redskins win.
Redskins over the Colts

Titans (1-4) vs. Jaguars (5-0)
I'm beginning to think we are back to free Frank Gore season the way the Titans user has been playing this season. As the Giants user predicted the Jaguars are a sleeper pick this year and have come into the franchise to prove himself. I wish CJ actually was doing something other than losing but you win some you lose some.

Week 4 Machup Previews

Jets (2-1) vs. Bills (0-3)
The Bills have yet to win a game, and it looks like the Jets user has improved in Madden 11 from Madden 10. Expect the Bills to take another loss here in an AFC East matchup.
Jets over the Bills

Seahawks (1-2) vs. Rams (0-2)
So neither of these teams impress me very much. I still see neither team impressing me after this matchup, but I give the edge to the Seahawks since he has the less shitty team (when your center is your best player on offense you might have problems-rams I'm looking at you here).
Seahawks over the Rams

Panthers (0-2)(CPU) vs. Saints (0-2)
You would expect the Saints to win this matchup since they started with the best team in this franchise but they haven't won a game yet, but either have the CPU Panthers, but I still expect the Saints to win this one. If the Saints fail to win here they could be in the running for the worst user in the Franchise. The Saints need to win this NFC South game.
Saints over the Panthers

Lions (1-2) vs. Packers (2-1)
NFC North Game!!!!!Well hey look at this one, it's me vs. my friend. The Lions have only won a game against the CPU Eagles. The Packers just took their first loss to the well respected Bears. I've played the Lions owner multiple times with this matchup in real life and the Packers have yet to lose for me. Turner is also out for the Lions so expect very little offense from them.
Packers over the Lions

Bengals (1-1) vs. Browns (2-1)(CPU)
Really the Bengals should win this AFC North game but who knows if he will actually play his game or if it will just be simmed. If the Bengals show up chalk them up with a win.
Bengals over Browns

Ravens (0-3) vs. Steelers (1-2)
Another AFC North game. I expected both of these teams to be doing better than they currently are. The Ravens have one of the best defenses but they have still not won a game. The Steelers have had some tough games. Maybe the Ravens user is too busy looking for his weed to pay attention to the game or too busy creeping on underage girls in the general part of the AP forums.
Steelers over the Ravens

Broncos (0-2) vs. Titans (0-3)
So the Broncos finally have a user so maybe they can turn these season around early. The Titans user has once again pulled a Clay Shaddy (Watch out Frank Gore), but it's too bad he won't be able to pull a Clay Shaddy in his actual game. Blah Blah Blah the Titans claim they are underrated but when you can't win games, you can't even be rated.
Broncos over the Titans

49ers (3-0) vs. Falcons (1-1)
The 49ers have surprised a few by going 3-0 this far and the Falcons have also surprised a few by beating the experienced Steelers in week 1. I think this should be one of the closest matchups this week and I'm actually going to give the edge to the Falcons
Falcons over the 49ers

Colts (1-1) vs. Jaguars (3-0)
The Colts finally have a user controlling them so don't count them out yet. The Colts have a powerhouse of talent on their team but will they be able to pull out the victory over the Jaguars? I don't know if the Jaguars have really been tested with talent in this league yet and I have no idea if this Colts user is any good but I'll keep the Jaguars undefeated.
Jaguars over the Colts

Texans (0-3)(CPU) vs. Raiders (3-0)
Watch as the Raiders continue their dominance in our Madden 11 franchise. The Texans are CPU controlled so expect the Raiders to cheese their way to victory.
Raiders over Texans

Redskins (1-1) vs. Eagles (0-3)
The Eagles user just joined so don't look too much into that 0-3 record, but if the user plays like he did in Madden 10 then yeah look at that 0-3. The Redskins could still surprise us all and make a run for the Superbowl again, but lets keep our eyes on these week. The Eagles really need to win this NFC East game but I see the Redskins coming away with a victory
Redskins over Eagles

Cardinals (2-1) vs. Chargers (2-1)
It's obvious that the Chargers user has been letting his mountaineer kids play this game because there's no way he should have two victories but who am I to judge? The Cardinals put up a great fight against the league favorite Raiders last week and has secured himself as one of the better users in this league. Watch as the Cardinals give the Chargers a whooping!
Cardinals over Chargers

Bears (3-0) vs. Giants (3-0)
This is probably a preview of a playoff game. The Bears user is one of the best users in this Franchise and is coming off a win over his division rival, the Giants are coming off a win over a dud. Watch as the Bears continue to dominate and move forward to 4-0.
Bears over Giants

Patriots (3-0) vs. Dolphins (2-1)
The Patriots user has caused a lot of controversy, never showing up in the AP thread and making trades with Clay Shaddy. The Dolphins user hasn't done too much crying yet but he has only lost 1 game. If the Patriots can win this game expect the classic vanderbeek from Brian.
