For the first time this year, our weekly Madden simulations have led us astray.<\/p>\n
Last week, the virtual Detroit Lions absolutely crushed the Carolina Panthers, 42-14. Sunday night bore out a much different experience, with the Panthers controlling most of the game and walking away as six-point winners.<\/p>\n
It was the first time our Madden simulations have been inaccurate so far this year. Here are the results from the first four weeks compared to the actual Lions game scores.<\/p>\n
Madden will try to get back on the right side of history this week as the Detroit Lions travel west to take on the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t yet watched one of our Madden 27 simulations, here\u2019s how they work. I\u2019ll load up a game of Madden 27, adjust the lineup based on the latest injury reports, pick some ugly jerseys for the opponent, then just watch the game. Throughout the entire broadcast\u2014usually about 1.5 hours in length\u2014we\u2019ll talk Lions, I\u2019ll answer some questions from the live chatters, and I\u2019ll also do my best Dan Miller impression on the play-by-play. It\u2019s a good, fun time.<\/p>\n
So if you want to join, here\u2019s all the info you need to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time this year, our weekly Madden simulations have led us astray.
