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.
