SEASON 30 - SEASON PREDICTIONS


Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF Season predictions. This is the first season of Madden '15 and we're all extremely excited!! We were able to conduct a pretty accurate set of predictions based on previous seasons and team ratings.

The Season 30 draft was an absolute success as it only lasted a little under 24 hours, and we saw a couple surprises, like GBryan taking the Redskins ahead of Betts, and Coach Pauly finally getting his Eagles! We have a lot of coaches going "home" to their favorite teams this season, so it should be a fun one.

So Season 29 ended a few months ago, and we saw Pettigrew95 win his first ever title with the New England Patriots. He defeated Coach Pauly and the Bears in the Super Bowl. Pettigrew has decided to defend his title with the Patriots. We will now break down each division, and at the end of the article, you will see my predictions for the upcoming season! Enjoy!



AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Season 30 Coach: Beast10790 (Previous Season - Season 29: Buffalo Bills (14-2)
Season 29 Team Result: 14-2 (Coach Beast10790)

The Buffalo Bills are back this season with Coach Beast and he is 1 season removed from his championship season back in Season 28. Last season he fell short in the playoffs against the eventual champion Coach Pettigrew. The Bills lost Stevie Johnson but drafted Sammy Watkins, and they are returning the speedy CJ Spiller and backup Fred Jackson. They also added Bryce Brown for a very solid backfield. We all know the talent that Beast has, and we cannot remember the last time, if ever, he has coached anyone else than the Bills. We expect alot out of Coach Beast this season, he not only takes pride in his game, he loves his Buffalo Bills. Expect them to be a top the division and conference when it's all said and done.

Miami Dolphins
Season 30
Coach Monsterzx6r  - *Rookie*
Season 29 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach BradDevito)

Coach Monsterzx6r is making his MOF debut this season, and although he is still having some confusion on whether we're a CFM league or not, he is coaching his favorite team, the Miami Dolphins. Everyone is always more dangerous when they have their team, we've always said that. The Dolphins have weapons, there's no denying that. Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline, Charles Clay, etc. The question is can Ryan Tannehill get the ball to them? The backfield got crowded when Miami signed Knowshown Moreno in the offseason, along with Lamar Miller they have a pretty good backfield as well. Miami's defense is also pretty solid with Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon. The question will be can Coach Monsterzx6r shake the rookie jitters and compete in one of the toughest divisions in the MOF?

New England Patriots
Season 30
Coach Pettigrew95 (Previous Season - Season 29: New England (14-2) *Defending Champion)
Season 29 Team Result: 14-2 (Coach Pettigrew95)

The defending champion Patriots return with Coach Pettigrew95 who won Season 29's Super Bowl over Pauly2110's Chicago Bears. Pettigrew currently holds the Dan Dolan Trophy and looks to defend it with a stronger Patriot team than last season. They added Tim Wright at Tight End, and Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner in the secondary. Of course they have Tom Brady at the helm, and as long as you have Mr. Gizelle Bundchen, you have a great shot at winning. Gronkowski is a top tight end virtually and it's a good thing injuries don't carry over in the MOF. We expect Pettigrew to again be a top the division, and a top the conference. We expect him to really battle with Coach Beast once again, which is turning into one of the best MOF rivalries of all time.

New York Jets
Season 30
Coach Latinyank77478 (Previous Season - Season 28: New York Jets (6-10) *Last Full MOF Season*)
Season 29 Team Result: 1-15 (Coach Cookies10)

The MOF gives a warm welcome back to Coach Latinyank. He had last season off, and now is ready to roll again with the New York Jets. The question will be will Geno or Vick be the starting Quarterback for Coach Latinyank? Also with the addition of Chris Johnson, this team has become much more dangerous. The Jets defense will always be a strong point on a Rex Ryan team, but their defensive line honestly is one of the best in the game. The Jets could really surprise some people this season, but in a division with the last two champions, it's going to be tough to compete. We expect the Jets to battle for a wild-card spot, but nothing more than that. Unless Coach Latinyank finds something special and runs with it.

SUPER ANALYSIS: AFC EAST
The division will belong to the Bills and Patriots. These two guys have proven that they are the cream of the crop of the MOF. The head to head games these two will play will determine the division winner. The Jets might get a victory over one of the two teams, but I really don't expect them to be a threat to the Pats or Bills. The Miami Dolphins will be in the basement, but I expect them to get some surprise victories.

AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens
Season 30 Coach: Ukcat98 (Previous Season - Season 29: Green Bay Packers (11-5)
Season 29 Team Result: 1-15 (Coach Bigchuck187)

Coach Ukcat98 was suspended for the last few games of Season 29 for unsportsmanlike conduct towards an opponent, he's apologized since, but the error forced him to miss the post-season. Ukcat has had his ups and downs in the win loss columns during his MOF stint. However relatively he's been successful. This season he looks to contend with the Baltimore Ravens. The once stout defense has taken a few steps back with the losses of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, but they still have Terrell Suggs, Dumervil, and Mosely. Joe Flacco looks to improve his offense with the signing of former Panther Steve Smith. With the wife beating back Ray Rice in the backfield, they are very set on offense. Can Ukcat bring the glory back to Baltimore after their 1-15 Season 29? 

Cincinnati Bengals
Season 30 Coach: BigDre245 (Previous Season - Season 29: Cincinnati Bengals (8-8)
Season 29 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach BigDre245)

BigDre is on the rise, and he's one of the sexiest picks for some experts here in the MOF. BigDre had a tough Season 29 with these same Bengals finishing 8-8, but he still won the division and put up a good fight against the eventual champion Patriots in the 1st round.  The early pre-season games that Dre has been playing is making him one of the favorites in the MOF with his incredible defense, and AJ Green. Andy Dalton is getting better and better as he matures into a top QB, and Gio Bernard is turning into a top tier running back.  The Bengals defense is where its at, and what makes them the favorite in the AFC North. Vontaze Burfict, Geno Atkins, and Rey Maualuga mans up one of the best D's in the league.

Cleveland Browns
Season 30 Coach: Uccbrett (Previous Season - Season 28: New England Patriots (9-7) *Last Full MOF Season)
Season 29 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Classo1999)

Johnny Football is all over our TVs and Interweb screens, it seems you can't put any sport show on and not hear his name. Coach Uccbrett has a decision to make, will he start Manziel or Hoyer? Coach Brett took last season off, but his last full season was Season 28 where he finished 9-7 with the Patriots. He won the Super Bowl back in Season 27 with the same Patriots. Brett looks to take his incredible MOF history to Cleveland and to turn around a franchise that has been one of the worst in MOF history. With the addition of Ben Tate in the backfield, and Josh Gordon and Miles Austin at receiver, these guys are very dangerous offensively. With the addition of Donte Whitner and Justin Gilbert the secondary of Cleveland will also be much improved.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Season 30 Coach: Raydar (Previous Season - Season 29: Kansas City Chiefs (9-7)
Season 29 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Coachsmith55)

Coach Raydar had a mediocre season with the Chiefs in Season 29 and looks to rebound from that. The Steelers run game has improved greatly with the emergence of LeVeon Bell and additions of LeGarrett Blount and Kent State rookie Dri Archer. Antonio Brown and Heath Miller need to step up the pass game for Big Ben after the loss of Emmanuel Sanders. The defense is a year older, but a healthy Troy Polamalu makes a huge difference. The Steelers are a wild-card kind of team, they could be really good, or they could be really bad. With the mixture of veterans in this division, Raydar is going to really have to get the most out of these Steelers to really have a shot of knocking any of them off.

SUPER ANALYSIS: AFC NORTH
The Bengals and Dre are the team to knock off here. I believe he will win this division by a few games. The Browns will be there fighting with the Ravens for 2nd place and a wild-card berth. If things fall right for Brett, he could actually challenge Dre's Bengals for the division. The Steelers are going to be in last place, unless Ukcat really drops the ball in Baltimore.

AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans
Season 30 Coach: Stormdownburst (Previous Season - Season 29: Houston Texans (8-8)
Season 29 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Stormdownburst)

Coach Stormdownburst is becoming one of the MOF's greatest voices and staff members in league history. His dedication to the league is second to none, and he's really stepped up over the past year and a half and become the Commish's right hand man. His gameplay is also getting much better as he clinched a playoff spot last season with these Texans while going 8-8. With the recent trade for Mallett the Texans have themselves a pretty good QB tandem along with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Arian Foster and Andre Brown are in the backfield. The Defense is also very good with JJ Watt, and the #1 pick Clowney heading them. The Texans have a decent shot at returning to their once dominant form.

Indianapolis Colts
Season 30 Coach: CheeferD (Previous Season - Season 29: Indianapolis Colts (6-10)
Season 29 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach CheeferD)

Coach Cheefer is back again with the Colts after a disappointing Season 29. However, the lack of activity is the main reason for his 6-10 finish. Andrew Luck is going to have a big season, we can feel it already. With the addition of Hakeem Nick and emergence of their dual TE threat with Allen and Fleener, the Colts offense is very very good. The defense could use some help, without really replacing Bethea they will need to improve the secondary play to compete for the AFC. The division should be theirs barring any strange rookie play from the Jags and Titans. Storm's Texans will provide some nice competition but the Colts have to be your favorite going into Season 30, especially it being Cheefer's favorite team.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Season 30 Coach: Dyero_ *Rookie*
Season 29 Team Result: 2-14 (Coach Triggaman214)

Coach Dyero_ makes his MOF debut with the Jaguars this season. Which is surprising because Dyero had the 27th pick (28th overall) and decided to pass up on Tennessee, the Jets, Miami, and St. Louis. Kind of odd, because Jacksonville is probably the worst offense in the game, by far. Blake Bortles has to be your starter going into the season, Toby Gerhart will be the starting runningback now that MJD is in Oakland. Cecil Shorts is their #1 receiver, and Marcedes Lewis will still be their tight end. Chris Clemons was picked up in the off-season to help that rush. However the Jags are very young, and very inexperienced to really compete for any kind of division or wild-card, couple that with the fact that there is an MOF rookie coaching them, these guys are in for a long season.

Tennessee Titans
Season 30 Coach: Cookies10 *Rookie* (Previous Season - Season 29: New York Jets (1-15) *Only Played 7 Games (0-7)*
Season 29 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach IGotASxyWife)

Coach Cookies10 will compete in his first full MOF season. Season 29 we saw him take over for the Jets for the remaining 7 games of the season, losing all 7 games. So not only is he starting his first full season, he's looking for his first MOF win! The Titans lost Chris Johnson in the offseason but Shonn Greene and Bishop Sankey look to pick up where CJ2K left off. Jake Locker will be the biggest question coming into the season, can he provide enough to make Cookies Titans relevant? The Titans defense remains strong, with Jurrell Casey and the addition of Shaun Phillips. The loss of Alterraun Verner will hurt the Titans secondary, but they signed Bernard Pollard to try and combat that loss.

SUPER ANALYSIS: AFC SOUTH
The Colts will be the champs of this division. I wouldn't be shocked if the Texans snuck ahead of them, but either way both teams will be in the playoffs. Cheefer will be too focused to let the Jags or Titans jump ahead of him. Storm also will be ready for a great run with the Texans as well. I look for the Titans to surprise some people,  and win some upsets, but nothing too crazy. The Jaguars will be lucky to win 3 games.

AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
Season 30 Coach: Classo1999 (Previous Season - Season 29: Cleveland Browns (6-10)
Season 29 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach MOF Commissioner)

Coach Classo1999 has been known for his incredible record breaking skills with Josh Gordon of the Browns, breaking the single season reception record, so what will he do with the greatest regular season quarterback in history? It's scary to think. The Broncos are obviously an amazing team, but they aren't always the best team to play with in Madden. Not alot of speed, not a great run game, and Peyton doesn't have the best throwing power. So it makes them vulnerable. The defense is much improved with the additions of Ware, Ward, and Talib. There is no question that Classo will have a great time with the Broncos this season but again, the speed issue really will come into affect when it matters most.

Kansas City Chiefs
Season 30 Coach: IGotASxyWife (Previous Season - Season 29: Tennessee Titans (10-6)
Season 29 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach Raydar)

The Chiefs are your classic Madden team. Jamaal Charles' speed, Alex Smith's accuracy, and Dwayne Bowe's size. Coach IGSW had a great Season 29 with the Titans, winning the division at 10-6, and is about to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, deservingly so. The Chiefs fit IGSW's style very well, he's a smash mouth kind of player, with a great defense, and the Chiefs are exactly that. Justin Houston and Tamba Hali are great pass rushers on that defense, and Eric Berry patrolling the skies in the secondary makes offenses think twice about putting that ball up in the air. Dont forget about Derrick Johnson and Dontari Poe as well. The Chiefs have to be one of the favorites to win this AFC West in Season 30.

Oakland Raiders
Season 30 Coach: Maddenusa2009 (Previous Season - Season 27: Houston Texans (3-13) *Last Full MOF Season*)
Season 29 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach TeamKA)

Season 30 sees the return of Coach Maddenusa, and he is running with his favorite team, the Oakland Raiders! The Raiders drafted their next "future" QB in Derek Carr, and they are hoping not to ruin him like the Texans did to his brother David. The loss of Rashard Jennings will hurt, but McFadden is a great Madden RB with his speed, and ability to break tackles. Marcel Reece is a great hybrid FB that can play TE and RB as well. The addition of Justin Tuck on defense, along with Antonio Smith will improve their rush attack. Woodson and Branch also head one of the better safety tandems in the league. The Raiders need some help to really compete in this division with Denver and KC, but Maddenusa knows how to win with them, so we'll see what happens.

San Diego Chargers
Season 30 Coach: Dagger27 (Previous Season - Season 29: Detroit Lions (10-6)
Season 29 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach Qpeezy35)

Coach Dagger had a tough Season 29, finishing 10-6 with the Lions and still missing the playoffs. This season he drafted the Chargers, and seemed very happy about that. The Chargers are a lot like the Broncos, in the sense that they are a good NFL team, but not always the best MOF team. It's the throwing motion and power of Rivers that holds them back. He is very accurate, and Antonio Gates causes massive matchup problems, but you really have to conform to these guys to have success. Qpeezy had a lot of success last season with them, and Dagger will have to follow that blue print. The additions of Jason Verrett and Brandon Flowers really helps their secondary, and that's always good when you play Peyton Manning twice a year.


SUPER ANALYSIS: AFC WEST
The Broncos and Chiefs will battle each other for this division. I think it will be tough for two teams to come out of this division for the playoffs, so winning that division will be extremely important. The head to head games will make the most difference. I believe the Chargers could surprise some people if Dagger can figure them out, but by the time he figures them out, it might be too late. Same goes for Oakland, he might win some surprising games, but in the end, Oakland and San Diego will be the bottom 2.



NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys
Season 30 Coach: Canesbucs1 (Previous Season - Season 21: Baltimore Ravens (14-2) *Last Full MOF Season)
Season 29 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Mindenplaya)

The return of the messiah Coach Canesbucs1 has finally returned to the MOF. His last full season was Season 21 with the Ravens, where he finished 14-2. The Hall of Fame coach is going to adjust just fine to PS4 and we expect big things out of Canesbucs as we usually do. The Dallas Cowboys however are a tough team to win with. Their offense isn't the problem at all with Romo, Bryant, Witten, and a very good running game with DeMarco Murray. Their defense  is the problem and adding to the problem is the loss of Demarcus Ware. They will have to outscore their opponents, and Coach Canesbucs isn't really used to that, being a defensive mind. So the Cowboys will be a challenge for him.

New York Giants
Season 30 Coach: Hovadagod23 (Previous Season - Season 28: Atlanta Falcons (3-13) *Last Full MOF Season*)
Season 29 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Fasterblack21)

Coach Hovadagod is back in the MOF after a 1 season hiatus. When the MOF moved to PS4 Hova took the season off, but now he's ready to compete. His last full season in the MOF was disappointing as he went 3-13 with the Falcons. He looks to take that up a notch with the New York Giants this season. The Giants have some issues, there's no questioning that. Their run game is kind of non existent, and Eli Manning is the most inconsistent Super Bowl MVP in history. The Giants lost Justin Tuck in the off-season, but they signed DRC adding to Antrelle Rolle and Stevie Brown in a very good secondary. If Hova can limit his turnovers and get a run game going, these guys might surprise you.

Philadelphia Eagles
Season 30 Coach: Pauly2110 (Previous Season - Season 29: Chicago Bears (13-3) *Super Bowl Runner-Up*)
Season 29 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Gbryan)

Good old Pauly is back after an extremely tough Season 29 where he had a great season with the Bears and lost in the Super Bowl to Pettigrew. That marks Pauly's 3rd Super Bowl loss in as many appearances. He is a hall of famer either way, but Pauly looks to take the next step this season and looks to win the big one. The Eagles are a great team to do that with. They lost DeSean Jackson, which is huge, but they signed Darren Sproles and with McCoy in that backfield these guys are going to be a screen and no huddle machine. Trent Cole will lead an underrated defense that also have three cornerbacks with 80+ overall ratings. Can Pauly repeat his Season 29 performance in a very tough division? We'll see.

Washington Redskins
Season 30 Coach: Gbryan (Previous Season - Season 29: Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
Season 29 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach NYRedskins35)

Coach Gbryan returns to the NFC East after his 11-5 performance last season with the Eagles. It looks like he followed DeSean Jackson to Washington, as the most explosive player in the division. RG3 will be at the helm, with the best speed at the position in the MOF. Alfred Morris heads a pretty good running attack and with the above mentioned DeSean, they also still have Santana Moss and Jordan Reed. The defense led by Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan is also very good. Can the Redskins stay healthy during their games though? That's the thing that Gbryan is going to have to deal with, RG3's health and their secondary trying to stop the other teams in the division, it should be interesting.

SUPER ANALYSIS: NFC EAST
The NFC East is always a tough division, and this season is no different. The Cowboys, Eagles and Redskins can all make an argument about being the best team in the division. I think we will see two teams make it to the playoffs out of this division, I think the Eagles are my front runners for the division, and the Cowboys are my next team in line. The Redskins will give Dallas a fight for 2nd place but i think will fall short. The Giants are going to have a tough time in this division.

NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Season 30 Coach: Trevpap (Previous Season - Season 29: San Francisco 49ers (10-6)
Season 29 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach Pauly2110)

The greatest franchise in MOF history the Chicago Bears fell short last season in the Super Bowl against the Patriots. They made a change at the helm, as Coach Trevpap now returns to Chicago to try and push them over the top and to their 7th Super Bowl title. Coach Trev took the 49ers last season to a 10-6 mark but fell short in the wild-card round to the Cowboys. This season we see Trev work with Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey, and Matt Forte in what should be a very explosive offense. They of course lost Julius Peppers, but signed Jared Allen to replace him. Jon Bostic is also a very good linebacker. The Bears will have to compete in a very strong division, so we'll see how Trev does.

Detroit Lions
Season 30 Coach: NYRedskins35 (Previous Season - Season 29: Washington Redskins (13-3)
Season 29 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Dagger27)

Coach NYRedskins35, better known as Coach Betts, will not be running with the Redskins this season, shockingly they were taken only a few picks ahead so Coach Betts had to settle with Detroit. Although on paper, the Lions are a much better squad. Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush and the addition of Golden Tate makes this offense one of the best in football. Couple that with Betts' talent, and the Lions have to be one of the favorites coming out of the NFC for Season 30. Don't forget Eric Ebron and Brandon Pettigrew at TE. Nick Fairley and Ndamokong Suh at DT is really a treat for Betts in a defense that is very underrated. Look for Stephen Tulloch to have a breakout season.

Green Bay Packers
Season 30 Coach: Woody_08 (Previous Season - Season 29: New Orleans Saints (6-10)
Season 29 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Ukcat98)

Coach Woody is looking to turn his fortunes around from last season where he went 6-10 with the high powered Saints. This season he has the high powered Packers and looks to make a difference. Aaron Rodgers is arguably the best quarterback in the game and it's very hard not to win with these guys. Eddie Lacy mans the backfield and James Starks is there to spell. The Packers have added Julius Peppers to their defense to try and help out that secondary. Clay Matthews and AJ Hawk are a great linebacker duo. Ha Ha Clinton Dix will do his best to replace Charles Woodson who they lost in the offseason. The Packers definitely have the most talent in the division, but can talent overcome coaching?

Minnesota Vikings
Season 30 Coach: Krayzie300 (Previous Season - Season 29: Minnesota Vikings (3-13)
Season 29 Team Result: 3-13 (Coach Krayzie300)

Coach Krayzie300 is back with the Vikings, as he went 3-13 with them last season. Coach Krayzie hasn't had the best success with the Vikings, even though he loves to pick them every season. The addition of Terry Bridgewater should help the QB situation, but no word has been made whether if Krayzie will be starting Matt Cassell or Bridgewater. Adrian Peterson of course is the main man on offense, and why defenses will most likely be playing 8 or 9 in the box at all times. Coradelle Patterson will look to make defenses pay for that kind of philosophy in the air. The defense of the Vikings will be the weak point, Chad Greenway will be the veteran on the squad, Floyd and Rhodes will be the youngins trying to get it done.

SUPER ANALYSIS: NFC NORTH
Whenever you have Coach Betts involved, he has to be the favorite. The Lions have a wonderful offense with Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush. The addition of Golden Tate just makes them that much more dangerous. The Packers are obviously a great team too, but Coach Woody needs to show the rest of the MOF that he has arrived, and can compete with the best. The Vikes and Bears will be battling for 3rd place all season.

NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Season 30 Coach: TeamKA (Previous Season - Season 29: Oakland Raiders (7-9)
Season 29 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach C-Train336)

TeamKA decided to go against picking the Raiders this season, and went with the Dirty Birds, the Atlanta Falcons. How can you blame TeamKA though? He is a few seasons removed from appearing in the Super Bowl with the Raiders, but since then has declined with them. So now he goes with Matt Ryan, Roddy White, and Julius Jones. What a great tandem. The loss of Tony Gonzalez hurts, but i think they will be fine. Steven Jackson and Jacquizz Rodgers will be in the backfield trying to control the clock. The defense had some bit of a makeover with the additions of Paul Soliai and Tyson Jackson to try and stop the run which they usually have a problem with. The key factor will be how they pass without the Tony G blanket.

Carolina Panthers
Season 30 Coach: Dpanther95 (Previous Season - Season 29: Carolina Panthers (7-9)
Season 29 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Dpanther95)

The Panthers again re-up with Coach Dpanther who again will be coaching the Panthers. Last season was a little bit better for Coach Dpanther, as he finished 7-9 and had some very impressive wins. The team is getting better, there's no doubt about that, but they lost Steve Smith in the off-season which really hurts their pass game, especially since they really never replaced him. That running game will shine though, with DeAngelo, Stewart, Tolbert, and of course Cam. The Panthers defense is great. Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson, and Star Lotulelei are one of the best fronts in football. Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis at linebacker are also great. Their defense will win them games, but can they score enough to compete against the top squads?

New Orleans Saints
Season 30 Coach: Bigchuck187 (Previous Season - Season 29: Baltimore Ravens (1-15)
Season 29 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Woody_08)

The first MOF season for Bigchuck wasn't the best, you can say. He went 1-15 in his inaugural season with the Ravens. Bigchuck fit in great with the league, as he was named rookie of the year by his peers. His awful season earned him a top pick in the draft, and that's where he was able to select the New Orleans Saints and their high powered offense. The Saints lost Darren Sproles, yes, but Jimmy Graham, Colston, Stills, Meachem, Ingram, Thomas, and Robinson im sure will make up for the lost touches that Sproles commands. The defense improves with the addition of Jairus Byrd and Cameron Jordan looks to continue his improvement. The Saints will be a top team to watch out for in the MOF this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Season 30 Coach: MMXcalibur (Previous Season - Season 27: Kansas City Chiefs (8-8) *Last Full MOF Season*)
Season 29 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach Daghostshadow)

Coach MMX returns to the MOF after 2 seasons off. His first choice usually always is the Chiefs, and his 2nd choice is usually the Cardinals, but both teams were taken when his pick came up. So who did he take? The Buccaneers. Coach MMX went 8-8 in his last season here in the MOF back in Season 27. MMX has made Super Bowls in the past, and has the best MOF resume out of anyone in this division. The Bucs have a very solid team outside of Quarterback. Doug Martin, Vincent Jackson are two great offensive weapons. Josh McCown or Mike Glennon will be the starting Quarterback. The defense of the Bucs is very good, with Gerald McCoy leading the way. Mason Foster has been a great linebacker, and the additions of Goldson and Verner will help an already strong secondary.

SUPER ANALYSIS: NFC SOUTH
This was a tough division to predict. You can really make a case for any team to win the division. Carolina has to be the weakest of all 4 teams, only because Coach Dpanther has never made the playoffs. Then the Saints, with the season Bigchuck had last season, is tough to say that they will be a contender here. So i'm going to say it will come down to Atlanta and Tampa Bay, and I like MMX here. I think the Bucs have the best shot at winning this division.

NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
Season 30 Coach: Qpeezy35 (Previous Season - Season 29: San Diego Chargers (12-4)
Season 29 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach RichVA804gg)

The Arizona Challenge is being taken by Coach Qpeezy who took the Challenge back in Season 28, and finished 8-8. Last season was a very good one for Coach Qpeezy, who finished 12-4 with the Chargers, winning the AFC West, and being 1 win away from the Super Bowl. Being in the NFC West, things will be a little different this season, it seems. Carson Palmer will be the QB for the Cards, and they will still have Larry Fitzgerald along with Andre Ellington in the backfield. The defense is the Cardinals bread and butter. Calais Campbell, John Abraham, and Daryl Washington are part of a very good front 7. The addition of Antonio Cromartie will make a good secondary great. Can the challenge be defeated this season?

San Francisco 49ers
Season 30 Coach: MOF Commissioner (Previous Season - Season 29: Denver Broncos (5-11)
Season 29 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Trevpap)

The MOF Commish is back with his favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers. The debate was a long thought out one though, between Seattle and San Francisco, but in the end Commish decided to go back home to the 49ers. History is on the Commissioner's side, the last three times he coached them, he went on to win the division. The offense of the 49ers has been improved, with Kaepernick at QB, and additions of Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson to go along side with Crabtree and Bolden. Frank Gore is a year older, but Carlos Hyde and Kendall Hunter look to spell him. The defense is the strong suit with Willis, Bowman, Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, to name a few. The 49ers are a great team, and they should do some damage.

Seattle Seahawks
Season 30 Coach: Trigrdan (Previous Season - Season 29: Seattle Seahawks (8-8)
Season 29 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Trigrdan)

Trigrdan returns to Seattle after an 8-8 finish last season. The Seahawks are the best rated team in the game, and deservedly so. That defense is second to none, with Richard Sherman and the rest of the Legion of Boom. Russell Wilson is rated a whopping 93 in the game to lead the Seahawk offense. Marshawn Lynch is still running the ball well. The receiving corps took a hit with the loss of Sidney Rice and Golden Tate. However when you have Percy Harvin, things are just going to be okay. Again, the defense is where its at with the Seahawks. Where do you start? Mebane and Bennett and Avril? Wagner and Smith, Sherman, Chancellor, and Thomas. The defense will be the reason this team succeeds. 

St. Louis Rams
Season 30 Coach: AHart62 - *Rookie*
Season 29 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach TG-Bigwahoo)

The debut of Coach AHart62 will take place in St. Louis this season. We don't know much about Coach AHart but we do know that he's an active guy, which means everything. However, he's in the NFC West which means that he has to deal with Arizona, Seattle, and San Francisco. It's a good thing real injuries don't carry over to the MOF, because Sam Bradford is an important part of this teams offense. Zac Stacy has emerged as a very good option at back, and should give them the rushing attack they desire. Tavon Austin is not only good at receiver, he'll be a dangerous return man too. Robert Quinn and Chris Long are great at the end spots and James Laurinaitus is a very good MLB too. The question will be how will they compete with the top teams in the division?

SUPER ANALYSIS: NFC WEST
Three way battle for the division in my eyes. Arizona, San Fran, and Seattle. I like San Francisco based on the fact that the Commish has very good success with this team. Seattle is a very good team, its hard not to win with them, so i think Seattle will finish a close second, and Arizona will be right there too, but might be on the outside looking in. St. Louis will have a rough road in AHart's rookie season.
