NNFL Division Predictions Part 1- North Divisions 

 

Today I am going to start my division prediction series. To kick off this new series of articles I will begin by breaking down the North divisions. 

 

The NFC North

One of the most noticeable changes in the NFC North is the arrival of Porky and ThatDude as the Lions and Vikings respectively. With these arrivals we can expect a much more civil and friendly, some believe this division could rival the AFC South in friendliness. Felix and Paniro remain as the veteran NFC North members, Porky and ThatDude look to be competitors for the title. A side storyline will be the extended Paniro/DC family showdown between Paniro and ThatDude.  Now let’s start breaking down the rosters. 

 

Best Offense- Packers

  • The Packers have not one but two quality Madden QBs to take the reins of this talented offense. While the Packers receiving group may not be the most talented in real life, in Madden this group is very solid. Headlined by Devante Adams the Packers receiver group boasts several young receivers. As far as running backs go the Packers have a great, established back in Aaron Jones, and a young AJ Dillon who is brimming with Madden stud potential. David Baktiari is the star of a solid offensive line he is accompanied by Elgton Jenkins, Corey Linsley, and Rick Wagner as key pieces of the line. 

Best Defense- Bears

  • The Bears have a great front 7, which stars Akiem Hicks, Kahlil Mack, and Roquon Smith. This front 7 could be incredibly disruptive especially with the upgraded pass rush for Madden 21. On the back end of the defense the Bears have 4 solid starters Tashaun Gipson, Eddie Jackson, Kyle Fuller, and Buster Skrine. The Bears also have a a couple of interesting rookie DBs Jayon Johnson and Kindle Vildor. 

 

Toughest Schedule- Packers/Lions

 

Projected Winner- Packers 

  • Felix has a pretty tough schedule which includes games against Panda and the NFC South, Konesie and the AFC South, Pip, and Falker. These out of division games will be difficult, and the in division games will be no walk in the park. 

 

The AFC North

 

Similarly to the NFC North the AFC North has two new arrivals Vet0 and Markd. The AFC North has 4 talented teams each boasting their own strengths and weaknesses.  Baldy and Ted remain the veterans of this league, but their dynamic is more like a separated couple who can’t get away from one another. Vet0 will be running the Browns and will put up a strong fight for the title. Markd is new so I am not sure what to say about his ability, but the Steelers team is pretty strong but old. 


 

Best Offense- Ravens

  • The Ravens running game should be nearly unstoppable with Lamar Jackson, the three headed beast of Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and JK Dobbins, and a top tier offensive line. This is not to say that the Ravens are a one dimensional team the Ravens also have great passing weapons as well. Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin, Willie Snead and Devin Duverney make up a stellar receiver group, Mark Andrews is the cherry on top. Studly Ronnie Stanley stars on the Ravens line which seemingly has no real weaknesses besides left guard. Overall, the Ravens have the most complete offense in the game, and will be a nightmare (perhaps impossible) to stop. 

 

Best Defense- Ravens

  • This one was a tough decision between the Ravens and the Browns defenses. I decided to go with the Ravens due to their secondary being more complete. The Ravens defense has one of the best mixes of talent, depth and youth. Calais Campbell will serve as a stalwart leader on the Ravens defense for what little time he has there. The secondary, which I mentioned earlier, is the true gem of this defense. Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith, Tavon Young, Chuck Clark, and Earl Thomas are all high quality starters and a couple of these players are backups. Much like the offense, this defense is one of the most complete and ready to win defenses in the league. Overall, this team is arguably the best team in Madden 21, and to go a bit further it will be difficult to lose with this team. 

 

Toughest Schedule- Bengals

 

Projected Winner- Browns

  • A new year brings new challenges, expectations, and stories. However, as some things change we can expect others to stay the same.
