SEASON 1 PREDICTIONS
The first season of Madden 22 is FINALLY upon us. With everyone itching to get started, this week should bring some exciting games and roster moves
Here are my predictions for the upcoming season!
NFC DIVISION WINNERS
NFC North: Packers
With a stacked team and unproven newcomers Kavik and 2nice in the division, I'm going with the proven Fink.
NFC South: Panthers
The last Super Bowl winner of Madden 21, Jonesy continues his excellent play, finishes with a better record, and wins the division.
NFC East: Washington
Spades continues his excellent play into season 1, edging out his brother in Dallas.
NFC West: Rams
This division should host some really good games all cycle, but season 1 is redemption season for Ostrich.
AFC DIVISION WINNERS
AFC North: Steelers
Stavo should be able to fend off the competition to win the North.
AFC South: Jaguars
Goku has the team and talent to own the AFC South.
AFC East: Dolphins
TheStrawBlacks is one of the best players in the league, and will win the division.
AFC West: Chargers
A tough division sees Jsmoove and the Chargers edge Monty and Gramz and win the West.
SUPER BOWL PREDICTION:
Washington (Spades) vs. Dolphins (StrawBlacks)
TRADE WATCH
The players most likely to be traded during Season 1:
Kyle Fuller / Bryce Callahan
The Broncos have 5 CBs above 75 overall, including rookie Patrick Surtain II. With both of these guys' contracts expiring after the season, it is likely Monty wants to get something from at least one of them.
James Robinson
Fantasy hero RB1SZN has quickly fallen out of favor for first rounder Travis Etienne. He has low speed and is only a star dev. Goku might try to get something out of him while his overall is inflated and before he needs to be resigned.
Jason Kelce
An aging superstar in the last year of his contract. Gudda could try to add even more to his draft capital.
AWARD PREDICTIONS:
MVP: Kyler Murray
Kyler is nearly impossible to stop and will be a headache for every opponent.
OPOY NFC: Cam Akers
Akers will get plenty of touches from a very good user.
OPOY AFC: Derrick Henry
Henry was already impossible to tackle and now will face less stacked boxes with Julio and AJ on the outside.
OROY NFC: Trey Lance
DW has already announced Lance as the starter and has plenty of weapons to make him effective.
OROY AFC: Trevor Lawrence
Goku and Lawrence will start their cycle off the right way and cap the first season with ROY honors.
DPOY NFC: Jeremy Chinn
A fast safety on a good defense will create plenty of turnovers for the Panthers.
DPOY AFC: Minkah Fitzpatrick
One of the scariest Safeties in the league on one of the best defenses. He should get plenty of chances to create turnovers.
DROY NFC: Micah Parsons
93 speed LB with a good user should be a gimme.
DROY AFC: Caleb Farley
Farley will start for a bad Titans defense, giving him plenty of opportunities for turnovers.
What to Watch for Week 1
Cowboys @ Buccaneers
While I’m not necessarily looking for a win here, it will be interesting to see if Hova can take advantage of a very good team this cycle. Being competitive in this matchup will be a good start.
Prediction: Cowboys 35-21
Eagles @ Falcons
Gudda sniped the Eagles and their draft capital right from under StrawBlacks. Stack took the Falcons to compete with Jonesy. Both will look to get a jumpstart in their respective divisions with a win here.
Prediction: Falcons 24-17
Steelers @ Bills
I don't know if anyone saw Mike taking the Bills #1. Nonetheless, he gets Stavo Week 1 to start a brutal couple of weeks. The Steelers may well be the steal of the draft with their defense and talent at the skill positions.
Prediction: Steelers 38-21
Vikings @ Bengals
Newcomer and top 5 chat member 2nice makes his primer debut against Doc and the Bengals.
Prediction: Bengals 21-20
49ers @ Lions
Deathwish begins the Lance era against a bad Lions team with questionable ownership.
Prediction: 49ers 28-21
Cardinals @ Titans
The two cheesiest offenses begin the season against each other. Kyler and his game-breaking speed look to win on the road against Tannehill and his embarrassment of weapons.
Prediction: Cardinals 42-28
Seahawks @ Colts
Rice begins the campaign against a new member. Look for the deep ball to DK early and often.
Prediction: Seahawks 31-17
Chargers @ Washington
Two teams with all the potential in the world look to take their first steps toward cycle dominance.
Prediction: WFT 38-24
Jets @ Panthers
Zach Wilson will be fine, but what other weapons will step up for the Jets. Panthers should be fired up and ready to go.
Prediction: Panthers 35-14
Jaguars @ Texans
Arachno saved some bottom teams from a really bad Texans team. Meanwhile, Goku saw the Jags shockingly fall to 22. Jags look to start their rebuild and the Lawrence era with a division win on the road.
Prediction: Jags 31-10
Browns @ Chiefs
Can Sherm be more competitive with a top team in Madden 22? He’ll get his first chance against an equally good Chiefs team led by Gramz.
Prediction: Chiefs 35-17
Dolphins @ Patriots
StrawBlacks with Miami is a very good fit. He’ll get a chance to test Waddle against a good Pats D. Meanwhile, the Mac era will begin against one of the best secondaries and players in the league.
Prediction: Dolphins 28-10
Packers @ Saints
Two Super Bowl or bust teams will face off Week 1. How will Madnaiss handle the QB situation In New Orleans? How will A-Rod and Adams fare to start their Last Dance campaign?
Prediction: Packers 24-17
Broncos @ Giants
Primer Tournament winner Monty continues his hot streak against a new Giants owner.
Prediction: Broncos 28-17
Bears @ Rams
Who won’t be tuning into this one? Ostrich’s first game back with a suffocating Rams defense against newcomer Kav1k.
Prediction: Rams 42-14
Ravens @ Raiders
Tiny took the Ravens over his own Titans. Can he take advantage of their speed and defense this cycle? His first test will be against a subpar Raiders team.
Prediction: Ravens 24-14
