NFL Week 10 Madden Simulation Predictions

Bart — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 01:47:16 +0000

This is Bart, and I’m temporarily filling in with Madden Simulations for Week 10. I apologize that I don’t have all the bells and whistles, but what I do have are scores and stats from this week’s NFL games. Since I don’t have pictures and visuals, I’ll give you some quick snapshots from the statistics below:

*Bears Game – They lose, not good. Based on the stats, if I were the Bears, I’d commit 3 guys to Adrian Peterson – he scores 3 touchdowns according to the Madden Sim. Cutler has a good game and spreads the ball around to 7 different receivers. Despite the emotionality of the game, Chester Taylor only gets his hands on the ball 4 times. Martz continues his non-running ways with only 9 rushing attempts. Devin Aromashodu touched the ball twice for 60 yds and a TD and we’re left to wonder, “Where’ve you been?” On the Vikings side of the ball, Sidney Rice returns off the PUP list, but only for a combined 42 yards of total offense. The post-game highlights do not reveal if this win saved Childress from losing his job for another week or not.

NFL Games: There was a couple of upsets predicted, so be careful. Most notable: Panthers upset Tampa, Browns beat the Jets, Cinci takes care of Indy, and Detroit wins on the road against Buffalo. It was interesting to note that the Madden Sim predicted the Atlanta win over Baltimore. See below.

Bears 21 Vikings 24

Bears vs Redskins – Week 7 Madden Simulation Prediction

Boomer — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 20:09:49 +0000

Our guy Sam coulda told you the Bears would lose last week. He rubbed his Madden 11 crystal ball and it was right there for him. Believe me, I’m not happy about it, but when you get an upset special right, you’ve got to brag a little. On to the Week 7 matchup with the Redskins.

Donovan McNabb makes yet another trip to Soldier Field, but this time he leads the Washington Redskins. The game starts off slowly, with only two Robbie Gould field goals in the first half to account for the Bears scoring. Ryan Torrain’s 10 yard run late in the half gives the Redskins a 7-6 halftime advantage. Check out the highlight:

Was that Danieal Manning getting a horsie ride into the end zone?

NFL Week 7 Madden Simulation Predictions

Boomer — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 12:44:20 +0000

It was another rough week for our Madden 11 simulator, missing on 9 of the 14 games, but bonus points for hitting on the Steelers-Browns result exactly and sadly predicting that the Bears would lose to Seattle. It’s another week for the Bears and another week for the simulator. On with the predictions hot off the Madden 11 simulator and our expert Sam.

Titans 24 Eagles 10
Falcons 24 Bengals 19
Browns 16 Saints 17

Bears vs Seahawks – Week 6 Madden Simulation Prediction

Boomer — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 19:32:32 +0000

The Bears bounced back strong against the Panthers last week even without Jay Cutler. Thanks to a strong running game from Matt Forte and a stellar defensive performance (or a piss-poor offensive showing by Carolina) the Bears moved their record to 4-1. Are these guys for real? Time will tell, but enjoy the ride.

The Seahawks come to Soldier Field, but they have struggled on the road. Experts around the interwebs can’t think of a way that the Bears can lose this game. Well, let’s see what our Madden 11 Simulator thinks.

It seems like the Bears and the Seahawks square off just about every year. Last season, the Bears made the trek to the Emerald City and brought home a come-from-behind victory. This year new head coach Pete Carroll brings his band of merry men to Soldier Field. It starts off well enough in Jay Cutler’s return to action as Robbie Gould gets the Bears on the board with a 41-yard field goal. The Seahawks bounce back with a short Matt Hasslebeck TD pass to give Seattle a 7-3 first quarter lead.

Matt Forte picks up where he left off in Carolina, busting off a 36-yard TD run to give the Bears a 10-7 lead:

It was another rough week for our Madden Simulator in Week 5, only going 5-9 in the 14 games played last week, but it was a week of upsets last week, so we’ll cut a little slack. Hopefully our guy Sam has made the necessary adjustments to the Madden 11 simulator and has a fresh docket of simulation predictions for Week 6. Here you go:

Steelers 21 Browns 10
Saints 19 Bucs 13
Packers 24 Dolphins 17
Chargers 24 Rams 6
Ravens 18 Pats 16
Texans 24 Cheifs 15

Bears at Carolina – Week 5 Madden Simulation

Boomer — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 17:50:04 +0000

The Bears came back down to earth last Sunday night as the Giants manhandled the Bears 17-3 to remove them from the ranks of the undefeated and knock quarterback Jay Cutler out of the game. As a matter of fact, JC is still recovering from his concussion and won’t play on Sunday, so journeyman backup Todd Collins will take the reigns against the Panthers in Carolina. Can he adhequately fill in for Jay Cutler in Mike Martz’s offense? Will the Bears actually try to run the ball? These are the questions we posed to Sam, our Madden 11 simulation expert:

With Todd Collins at the helm and Jay Cutler on the sidelines, you’d think that Mike Martz might take a more conservative approach. Think again. Bears start off with a 47 yard TD pass from Collins to Knox. The Panthers bounce back to score two rushing TD’s, including a 68 yarder from DeAngelo Williams and a 2 yard plunge from Jonathan Stewart to give the Panthers a 14-7 first quarter lead.

The second quarter is more of a defensive struggle, with a Zack Bowman INT helping the Bears keep it close:
