It’s time for the biggest Madden Simulation of the season.
Okay, I tried to make it sound like there are big stakes, but there are never any stakes in our Madden simulations (well, unless you’re an avid gambler of Twitch channel points), just harmless fun.
Every Saturday morning before a Sunday Detroit Lions game, I jump on a game of Madden 26, fire up a game between the Lions and their upcoming opponent, change the lineups based on injury report projections, and broadcast the simulation over on our Twitch and YouTube channels. It’s a fun way to spend a Saturday morning, chat with some Lions fans, answer some football questions, and watch Madden continually make a fool out of itself.
Is it accurate to real-life results? Nope. Not even close. This year, our Madden sims are 8-5 in correctly predicting the winner. To be fair, that’s a few games better than On Paper, but rarely have the outcomes felt realistic. Here are the weekly results thus far, along with links to each simulation if you want to know what it looks like.
