Thank you to everyone for participating!
Here are MSR’s Season 1 predictions for MSR. (# of votes in () )
Super Bowl Winner:
Eagles (11)
Ravens (3)
Chargers/Rams (2)
Super Bowl Loser:
Chargers (6)
Eagles (4)
Dolphins (3)
The Eagles and Chargers are this year’s Super Bowl prediction, with the Eagles coming out on top. Both these users were in the same division last cycle too!
Highest Scoring Team:
Eagles (7)
Ravens (6)
Raiders/Dolphins/Broncos (2)
While the AFC dominated this, it was actually an NFC team, the Eagles, that come out in the top spot.
Least Points Allowed:
Eagles (10)
Bills (3)
Titans (2)
Part of what makes the Eagles a Super Bowl contender is that they are a very balanced team.
NFC Playoff Teams:
Eagles/Rams (2)
Bucs (19)
Lions (14)
Cowboys (13)
Commanders/49ers (12)
These 7 teams were well ahead of everyone. It seems MSR as a whole is pretty confident these will be the 7 NFC playoff teams, we’ll have to see how that turns out.
AFC Playoff Teams:
Bills/Chargers (20)
Ravens (18)
Titans/Dolphins (16)
Raiders (12)
Chiefs (10)
With the Bills and Dolphins getting so many votes, it appears the AFC East could be a very fun race to watch this season.
Team with the Biggest Difference Between their Floor and Ceiling:
Chiefs (3)
Colts/Texans/Ravens (2)
Many Teams (1)
Not much agreement in this one but the Chiefs come out on top. It appears no one really knows what to expect from them this season.
Now here are the Cycle predictions for M23.
Most Improved Team from M22 (based on current team):
Packers (4)
Colts (3)
Cowboys/Bengals/49ers (2)
It seems like Steiner has others with faith in him that he’ll be much more successful now that he has a team to start the cycle with.
Team that takes the Biggest Stepback from M22:
Seahawks (5)
Chargers (3)
Ravens/Titans/Texans (2)
While the Chargers have a lot of supporters for year 1, it appears most people think they’ll actually have a worse cycle this Madden.
Most Likely to Win at least 1 Super Bowl:
Eagles (19)
Chargers (13)
Bills/Bucs/Dolphins/Ravens (7)
It seems like there might be a big split on how people think the Chargers will do this cycle.
Most Likely to Win multiple Super Bowls:
Eagles (15)
The Eagles were the only team that had more than 1 vote. 5 other teams received a vote but it appears there’s way more confidence in Philly than anyone else.
Team Overvalued the Most in Team Selection:
Seahawks (13)
Texans (5)
Chiefs/Eagles (1)
Unfortunately, not many people think the Seahawks were a great decision at the very top of the draft. We’ll have to see if Payne can back up the selection. Sometimes it’s about having fun more than it is winning though.
Team Undervalued the Most in Team Selection:
Bills (9)
Bucs (3)
Rams (2)
I think the people that picked the Bucs meant to have them in the overvalued. Rumor has it, their user already regrets taking them.
1 Misc. Prediction for the M23 Cycle:
Very few, if any, QBs will dev up due to ints.
Payne and Red will not regret their teams
Payne goes under .500
Lamar finally used right
NFC most super bowls this year
Saquon Barkley HOF
Best rb of the cycle will be a madden gen rookie
Lots of sacks
Payne really struggles for two seasons
Colts will win South at least once
The AFC will be the better conference record by end of cycle
Lamar Jackson gets YK in trouble with multiple infractions.
Lots of turbover
15 QBs benched year one for INTs
Content will be up this cycle from last.
AFC wins more SBs than NFC
Tyler will only lose 2 division games all cycle
Heartless will not make the full cycle due to NCAA.
Kyler Murray never throws 40 ints
This cycle will belong to Lamar Jackson
