I’m starting to think our weekly Madden 25 simulations may have no impact on the actual game. Yeah, I know. Hard to believe. The mystical powers of Madden have been long documented, but it’s been a rough year for the game’s prediction power. It was wrong the first four weeks of the season, and after a brief three-game winning steak, it’s back on the losing end.

Here are our week-by-week results:

Week 1:

  • Madden: 24-20 Rams
  • Actual: 26-20 (OT) Lions

Week 2:

  • Madden: 31-24 Lions
  • Actual: 20-16 Buccaneers

Week 3

  • Madden: 42-17 Cardinals
  • Actual: 20-13 Lions

Week 4:

  • Madden: 31-26 Seahawks
  • Actual: 42-29 Lions

Week 6:

  • Madden: 31-28 Lions
  • Actual: 47-9 Lions

Week 7:

  • Madden: 35-14 Lions
  • Actual: 31-29 Lions

Week 8:

  • Madden: 30-24 (OT) Lions
  • Actual: 52-14 Lions

Week 9:

  • Madden: 24-17 Packers
  • Actual: 24-14 Lions
