*Im not ranking Kumar I don’t think it’s fair when he literally isn’t playing games.
Playoff Predictions(users within reasonable reach of playoffs)
NFC:
Bears(DEN GB SF GB) – Once he got Ez mode we knew what was going to happen. I think he splits with Cody only out of respect for how good of a user Cody is but it’s going to be a tough game where Cody will play perfect. He will win the north.
Giants(TB NE BUF ARI) – Warren gets a fw then takes care of the AFC East and we’ll see if he plays starters or not week 18 against me, he knows he has my number in Madden
Falcons(PHI CAR DET SEA) – Not a super difficult slate of games towards the end of the season. It will likely come down to the game against the Panthers for the division. The wildcard game will be with Cam, I give Cmass the edge because I believe in his offense more than Cam’s, but if his defense can get some short fields he could win this one.
Cardinals(SF PHI SEA NYG) – The division games are never gimmes in the NFC West where a lot of my games have come to the last few drives, I think we have figured out what we need to do and we’ll clean some things up. Regardless what happens the last four games I don’t think they really matter outside of the Seattle game, the winner will probably take the division.
Cowboys(LV DET MIA WAS) – One of the easier schedules in the NFC. The Raiders are trying to win, Nick is always scrapping, and I think Kook will be checked out to try and get the number one pick and draft a QB, if kiing takes care of his old division mate, Lucky, he could lock in to the 5 seed.
Panthers(HOU ATL TB NO) – The champ is pretty good at dotting up man defense and I don’t see Cmass being swept. A Fw in week 17 and then a pivotal game that should determine who gets in as the 7 seed against the Saints.
Saints(IND JAC NYJ CAR) – I see Austin handling the rest of the AFC south and then having trouble against Hero and Alex. Austin is a little too sloppy against Hero who doesn’t make mistakes often and Alex takes care of business hoping to add some permanent ink to Austin’s Booty.
Seahawks(JAX WAS ARI ATL) – Cams defense is too much for the Jags and Commies but he doesn’t have enough offense to beat the Cards and Falcons. Maybe I’m shooting myself in the foot with this prediction but if Cam does win week 17 he will take home the NFC West regardless of the other games.
Rams(CLE CIN BAL SF) – Jesse takes care of the lower tier users in the league but doesn’t have enough juice to deal with that Browns defense or Lamar Jackson. If Jesse finishes over .500 I think he’ll count that as a win with a team that he blew up to rebuild. He’s a little too low in the division imo to make the playoffs.
Packers(PIT CHI MIN CHI) – Cody is just a little too far out to win the north, even if he wins out. Little is rolling so Cody absolutely needs to win one of those two games to even stay in the playoffs, like he said before he loses the h2h tie breaker to the Cards and Falcons and Panthers. Lucky for him I think the Cards and Falcons win their division and he’ll be going for 1 of 2 spots against the Hawks and the winner of Saints/Panthers. In reality if Cody just beats the Vikings I think he makes it.
Vikings(DET TB GB BAL) – just a little too late for Cloud. Stayed around .500 all cycle and needed to beat a few of those beatable teams. He does have the tie breaker against Panthers and Hawks so if things breaks the right way and he wins out he could take the 7 seed.
Playoff standings:
- Giants
- Bears
- Falcons
- Cardinals
- Cowboys
- Packers
- Panthers
AFC:
Steelers(GB CLE CIN BUF) - I don’t see a season sweep of the Browns but I do see them closing the season out on back to back wins. Justin is too hot or miss and Hooty is very good defensively. He wins the North.
Jets(BUF IND NO MIA) – Zack Wilson has 7 INT on the season. That’s crazy. He plays a way that gets wins, play defense, force turnovers, and don’t turn the ball over. I wish we saw a little more slinging of the rock in the regular season when you have Keenan and JJettas but I’m not gonna hate on winning. Hero runs the table and takes out his biggest nemesis, The Wildcard round.
Colts(NO NYJ CLE HOU) – Hero owns Connor and Austin should be able to shut down the run and score easier than Connor. But I do see him taking out Chase who I think he has a good read on, and if I’m not mistaken he hasn’t lost to Ptown yet and he keeps that going in week 18 to win the South.
Browns(LAR PIT IND CIN) – I see Chase beating the Steelers and a former steeler user but it not being enough to win the North but should be good enough to get the 5 seed.
Dolphins(BAL BUF DAL NYJ) – The Dolphins schedule is so hard to navigate because I have no idea what’s a FW or a FL but he has yet to have a signature win this season. No win against a user outside his division who has a winning record. Maybe he’ll get one against Morty who took 2 or 3 FL while he was touching grass. I think Lucky can compete but he hasn’t played games consistently enough to put it all together yet.
Texans(CAR TEN JAX IND) – You could talk me into Ptown winning out and I think that gets him the division but I just don’t think he has Connor figured out yet. He should beat the other division mates and I think he’ll figure out Alex’s defense and at least make it exciting as a week 18 ‘winner gets the division’ game.
Broncos(CHI LAC LV KC) – With Ben leaving, maybe or not who knows, the division is Phil’s. Even if he wasn’t he’s had his number and would win this division regardless.
Bills(NYJ MIA NYG PIT) – I see nothing from Justin that shows me he can win these tight games against good opponents. It’s not an easy m22 offense and he’s relying too much on Josh. He is 25th in the league in rushing offense which used to be Justin’s bread and butter. If he plays defense and runs the ball he would flourish.
