Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF Season predictions. This is the second 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 31 draft was an absolute success as it was announced and finished within 36 hours. We saw a few surprises, like Dpanther NOT taking the Panthers, and Coach Krayzie steering away from the Vikings. We saw the Seahawks drop to #6 and the Raiders go alot higher than we thought.

So Season 30 ended a few days ago, and we saw IGotASxyWife win his second Super Bowl title with the Kansas City Chiefs. He defeated Coach Qpeezy and the Cardinals in the Super Bowl. IGSW has decided to defend his title with the Chiefs. 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 31 Coach: Beast10790 (Previous Season - Season 30: Buffalo Bills (12-4)
Season 30 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach Beast10790)
Coach Beast has taken the reigns of the Bills once again, and this time he doesn't have to deal with Coach Pettigrew's Patriots. CJ Spiller is coming off another MVP season under Beast. The Bills seem to get stronger and stronger as the NFL season goes on, and that only adds fuel to Coach Beast's fire as he looks to take down this division. Mario Williams and that defensive line has been much improved and the secondary has played great as well. Beast will be a force and might be the favorite to come out of the AFC.

Miami Dolphins
Season 31 Coach Jnice2319  - (Previous Season - Season 30: Oakland Raiders (1-4)
Season 30 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach BradDevito)
The Miami Dolphins have not had the success that they had back in the early days of the MOF and Ricky Williams. However they are on their way. Ryan Tannehill and company have been receiving upgrades and these guys are in position to make a run. Coach Jnice returned to the MOF last season to the Raiders when they were (2-9). Jnice finished the season (1-4) and overall (3-13) for the Raiders. Jnice had some signs of greatness, as he defeated the Commissioner in his first game. He didnt win a game since, but with a fresh season coming, he will have a clean slate to start with.

New England Patriots
Season 31 Coach CheeferD (Previous Season - Season 30: Indianapolis Colts (10-6)
Season 30 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach Pettigrew95)
The Patriots have become a juggernaut in the MOF over the past few seasons, and you can thank Coach Pettigrew95 for that. Now he's moved on to Chicago and New England has hired long time Colts coach CheeferD. I don't think the Patriots will really miss much of a beat here. Cheefer is more than capable of winning double digit games, and giving the Bills all they can handle in the MOF AFC East. The run game could use some help, and receivers might be on their way in a trade, but right now the Pats offense isn't the strong point. its the playmakers on Defense.

New York Jets
Season 31 Coach Latinyank77478 (Previous Season - Season 30: New York Jets (9-7)
Season 30 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach Latinyank77478)
The Jets are back with Coach Alex for another run at it. Last season the Jets finished pretty strong with a couple nice wins, they were about 1 or 2 wins away from making the playoffs and alot of experts think that the Jets could really make some noise in Season 31. The addition of Percy Harvin in Alex's offense will do wonders for his numbers. The excellent run game of Johnson, Ivory, and Powell makes them tough to handle. The degradation of Vick and Geno Smith will hurt Alex's pass game, and that might ultimately keep him out of the playoffs.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC EAST
The division right now has the Bills written in pencil. The Patriots and Jets are question marks and I think these two teams will battle for a wild-card and 2nd place. Whoever finishes in 2nd place might grab the 6th seed in the post-season. The Dolphins will be the last place team in this division based on the talent and experience of Jnice.

AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens
Season 31 Coach: Hovadagod_23 (Previous Season - Season 30: New York Giants (4-12)
Season 30 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Ukcat98)
Coach Hova made his triumphant return to the MOF last season, and it was a great first 5 games to begin the season. After that, he lost every single game. It's always tough when you go 4-1 and then finish 4-12. Hova also had a few simulations in there last season, and we're hoping he can fix that this season with the Ravens. Baltimore has a very good team, their run game is underrated, and Flacco's arm is stronger than almost every quarterback in the league. Hova has the chance to make some noise with these guys, lets see if he can follow through.

Cincinnati Bengals
Season 31 Coach: Classo1999 (Previous Season - Season 30: Denver Broncos (6-10)
Season 30 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach BigDre245)
BigDre is finally out in Cincinnati as he moves onto Green Bay. The Bengals hired Coach Classo1999 who was with Denver last season, and finished 6-10. He is familiar with the AFC North as he played with the Browns a couple seasons in a row a few seasons ago. Classo is known for his passing attack, as he broke the receptions record a few seasons ago with Josh Gordon. With AJ Green and Mohammed Sanu, these guys are just as dangerous. The Bengals could really play sleeper in the AFC if all goes well for Classo.

Cleveland Browns
Season 31 Coach: Canesbucs1 (Previous Season - Season 30: Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
Season 30 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Uccbrett)
The Browns had a wonderful Season 30, going 11-5 under Coach Uccbrett. However due to some scandals the Browns were disqualified from the playoffs and forced to fire Coach Uccbrett. They waited for Coach Canesbucs, who finished his season with Dallas at 11-5 last season. He his now coach of the Browns and he is just what they need. A 2-time Super Bowl Champion and hall of fame coach, Coach Canesbucs is excited to get started with Johnny Football and this underrated defense. He immediately becomes the favorite to win the AFC North.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Season 31 Coach: Ukcat98 (Previous Season - Season 30: Baltimore Ravens (7-9)
Season 30 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach Raydar)
Coach Raydar brought the Steelers to the playoffs last season, it was an early exit but he made it. This season Coach Ukcat moves a little west from Baltimore and takes over the Steelers. Pittsburgh has a very good running game and a pretty decent passing game. This isn't your Daddy's Steelers. These guys are focused on offense, and their defense isn't the best. The Steelers and Ukcat will be a force this season, and i wouldn't be shocked if they wound up grabbing one of those wild-cards. I think they are a little bit away from winning the division.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC NORTH
The Browns are the team to beat in this division. Based on Canesbucs talent, and the way he will use the Browns. The Bengals and Steelers will be two teams that will definitely challenge the Browns but I think they will both fall short of the division and the playoffs. The Ravens will be the last place team, but they will win some games that will keep other teams out of the playoffs for sure.

AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans
Season 31 Coach: Stormdownburst (Previous Season - Season 30: Houston Texans (12-4)
Season 30 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach Stormdownburst)
Coach Stormdownburst broke out last season like we thought he would. Winning 12 games with these Texans and he's back to finish the job. He was one of the best teams in the AFC from Week 1 to Week 17, he unfortunately lost in the wild-card round, and Storm still has not won a playoff game in his career just yet. The Quarterback situation in Houston is a tough one, Fitzpatrick, Keenum, or Mallet will be at the helm for the Texans and i think they are in full force QB competition as we speak right now. We are leaning towards Mallet.

Indianapolis Colts
Season 31 Coach: Commissioner Jeff (Previous Season - Season 30: San Francisco 49ers (10-6)
Season 30 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach CheeferD)
Coach Cheefer has been bounced out of Indianapolis after his Divisional playoff loss to the Chiefs. He has had a great career in Indianapolis but its time to move on. The good old Commish has taken over the Colts job as he finished 10-6 with his 49ers last season. He was blown out in the wild-card game against Betts, and good for him he wont see Betts this season unless for some reason they meet in the Super Bowl. The Colts have the talent, and Commish has the talent to make this work. But will he put all the pieces together?

Jacksonville Jaguars
Season 31 Coach: CombatCook84 *Rookie*
Season 30 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach TXSpinRb8)
We seem to always welcome a rookie into Jacksonville every season. This season we welcome CombatCook84 who is buddies with BradDevito, so we know he will be a solid coach. The new phrase of the MOF is the Jacksonville Challenge. Who can actually play all 16 games with the Jaguars? Hopefully CombatCook can do that. Of course we don't know what to expect from a rookie, but all we can go by is the talent of the team. Which is severly lacking. The Jaguars have Blake Bortles, but they have a lot of young players that will ground them from winning many games.

Tennessee Titans
Season 31 Coach: Maypo203 *Rookie*
Season 30 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach KingSolomon)
Another rookie coach in Tennessee happens to be another one of BradDevito's deciples. It seems like the nWo is starting to take shape here in the MOF. The Titans are alot like the Jaguars. They seem to have a new coach every season, and again, if he can finish all 16 games that's a feat in itself. The Titans are very weak at a lot of positions, including Quarterback. It will take a very talented coach to win more than 4 or 5 games with these guys. And since we don't know what to expect out of rookie Maypo203, we can only assume he will not win many games.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC SOUTH
This is easily the least talented division in the game. The only real quarterback in this division is Andrew Luck. That's why you have to favor the Colts here. Coach Storm is the most familiar with his team, which makes him a dangerous coach as well. I think it will come down to the Colts and Texans for this division. You never know what rookies have in store, but more likely than not, the Jags and Titans will be bad.

AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
Season 31 Coach: Trigrdan (Previous Season - Season 30: Seattle Seahawks (8-8)
Season 30 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Classo1999)
Denver has been a little bit of a curse these last few seasons. With all this talent , they seem to be failing time and time again. Finishing 6-10 last season under Classo, their defense never got it going and Peyton Manning threw 48 interceptions (not to mention his 61 in Season 29). Coach Trigrdan brings his defensive mind to the Broncos this season, and his ball control offense. He doesn't turn the ball over and that will really help him with this team. These guys have all the talent in the world to win the entire thing, let's see what he can do!

Kansas City Chiefs
Season 31 Coach: IGotASxyWife (Previous Season - Season 30: Kansas City Chiefs (13-3) *Defending Champion*
Season 30 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach IGotASxyWife)
The defending champion is HERE. Coach IGSW won his 2nd Super Bowl last season with the Chiefs. From start to finish he was the best team in the league and he proved it in the big game winning 38-35 over the Cardinals and QPeezy. Coach IGSW returns with the Chiefs again, and immediately has to be one of the favorites to get back to the Super Bowl and win it again! Repeating is extremely difficult, and everyone knows that, but with the familiarity of the Chiefs that IGSW has, it will be a tiny bit easier than most.

Oakland Raiders
Season 31 Coach: TeamKA (Previous Season - Season 30: Atlanta Falcons (6-10)
Season 30 Team Result: 3-13 (Coach Jnice2319)
TeamKA is back where he belongs. The Oakland Raiders went 3-10 last season with 2 different coaches, so they needed some stability this season. So why not hire the guy who brought you to the Super Bowl in Season 25? TeamKA has had his share of struggles lately and we think its a matter of focus. When TeamKA is focused he is able to do some damage and we think he will come into this season focused. Unfortunately he is in a very tough division with very tough coaches and teams, so it will be a real big hill to climb to make the playoffs.

San Diego Chargers
Season 31 Coach: Raydar (Previous Season - Season 30: Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7)
Season 30 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Dagger27)
Coach Raydar makes his debut in San Diego this season. San Diego is one of the top teams in the game and they keep getting bumped up in the ratings with their real life counterpart's performances. Rivers is deadly accurate, Gates catches everything, and their run game is very underrated. Their defense is also very good, and these guys are going to be fun to play with for Raydar. I believe Raydar is capable of seriously contending for this division, but what will hold them back is the divisional matchups. If he can have a winning division record that will put him over the top.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC WEST
This is a very tricky division to predict. The defending champions have to be the favorite to win the division. The Broncos have to be next in line with their talent and Coach ability. The Chargers and Raiders i think are pretty even. Only because TeamKA knows the Raiders like the back of his hand. The Chargers are a good team, but in a very tough division.

NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys
Season 31 Coach: Dpanther95 (Previous Season - Season 30: Carolina Panthers (6-10)
Season 30 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Canesbucs1)
Proably the most shocking pick of the draft was when Dpanther went to the Dallas Cowboys. Season in and season out Coach Dpanther has been with the Carolina Panthers. He finally had enough and decided to run with a very good team in the Dallas Cowboys. He won't be used to all this talent, and i think that will mess with him to begin the season. I think he will absolutely knock some great teams off, including Washington where he seems to give Betts all he can handle sometimes. I expect Dallas to be a sub .500 team this season.

New York Giants
Season 31 Coach: Kckeith57 (Previous Season - Season 25: Houston Texans (11-5) *Last Full MOF Season*)
Season 30 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach Hovadagod_23)
Welcome back to the MOF, Coach KCkeith! KC makes his return with the Giants, which isn't the best team to make a return with, but it was the best available left for him. KCKeith's last season was Season 25 with the Texans where he went 11-5 and won the AFC South! So we know that KCKeith has the talent to win games, but will he be able to shake the rust off in time before it's too late? It will be a daunting task since this division is filled with great teams and great coaches. I think KC will have a decent season, but the slow start will end up killing him in the long run.

Philadelphia Eagles
Season 31 Coach: Dagger27 (Previous Season - Season 30: San Diego Chargers (6-10)
Season 30 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach Pauly2110)
Dagger has the Eagles this season, and that could spell trouble for the rest of the NFC East. Dagger finished extremely strong with the Chargers last season, and alot of experts were surprised he didn't go back to San Diego and try to finish the job. Instead he goes to Philadelphia, with McCoy and Sproles and will look to screen people to death. The Eagles have the talent, but does Dagger have the control to compete with Betts in the NFC East? We all know that this division is very tough, so it's going to be something to see when Dagger takes the field.

Washington Redskins
Season 31 Coach: NYRedskins35 (Previous Season - Season 30: Detroit Lions (8-8)
Season 30 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach DaHitman7)
He's BAACCKKK. 1 season removed, Coach Betts is back in Washington. Last season was his worst season in the MOF, going 8-8 with the Lions. However he was still able to win the NFC North and win a playoff game in the process. The Redskins are his team, and he will absolutely be a super bowl contender. Betts has won 4 championships and been to 1 more all with the Washington Redskins. RG3, DeSean Jackson. These guys are going to be one heck of a team, and it's going to be fun to watch.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC EAST
This division is a no brainer. The Redskins and Coach Betts will have to have an aneurism not to win this thing by week 10. I don't think anyone in the division finishes above .500 except the Redskins. The Eagles are the only hope to do something special. The Giants and Cowboys will battle for last place.

NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Season 31 Coach: Pettigrew95 (Previous Season - Season 30: New England Patriots (13-3)
Season 30 Team Result: 1-15 (Coach Trevpap)
The Chicago Bears are still one of the best franchises in MOF history. With 6 Super Bowl titles, and the 2nd best record overall, these guys are in it season in and season out. Except last season. Trevpap took the Bears to a 1-15 record, and was immediately fired by Chicago. The Bears then hired Season 29 Champion, Pettigrew95. Pettigrew looks to restore the greatness in the windy city and there's no question that he can do so. The Bears defense is not very good, but their offense is just as good as anyone's in the MOF. So we'll see what Pettigrew can do.

Detroit Lions
Season 31 Coach: Krayzie300 (Previous Season - Season 30: Minnesota Vikings (8-8)
Season 30 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach NYRedskins35)
Coach NYRedskins35 took the Lions to an 8-8 record last season and won the division. So instead of going back to the Vikings, Coach Krayzie decided to sign with Detroit and betray the entire fanbase of Minnesota. The Viking fans will not be hapy with this decision by Krayzie, but he has to do what's best for him. The Lions give him the best shot to win right now, and that's what its all about. Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, and the big emergence of Golden Tate makes these guys a dangerous team week in and week out.

Green Bay Packers
Season 31 Coach: BigDre245 (Previous Season - Season 30: Cincinnati Bengals (9-7)
Season 30 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Woody_08)
Coach Woody had a great start to his season with these Packers last season, but struggled down the stretch. This season BigDre comes to cheese land after going 9-7 with the Bengals. There was a lot of hype surrounding BigDre last season with the Bengals, and he failed to live up to the challenge. This season he's getting alot of hype again, and he needs to flip that switch and ignore it and just play his game. Dre is one of the most talented coaches in the MOF and he's controlling one of the most talented teams in the MOF. That has to spell success.

Minnesota Vikings
Season 31 Coach: BradDevito (Previous Season - Season 30: Miami Dolphins (7-9)
Season 30 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Krayzie300)
A Change in Minnesota, Krayzie out, DeVito in. DeVito is psyched about going to his favorite team in the Vikings and he already is predicting himself to win the whole thing. DeVito was never shy about talking smack, but after his season with the Dolphins, especially with his lack of Coach Requirements after he was eliminated, doesn't put him in very good standings with MOF brass. Never the less, the Vikings should be a good team this season, unless he's eliminated then DeVito might disappear. Adrian Peterson is a child abuser.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC NORTH
This will probably be the most competitive division out of them all. DeVito, Pettigrew, and BigDre will be fighting with each other all season long. I think Pettigrew has the edge here and will win the division, however I expect the Packers and Vikings to both be in the playoffs this season. So we might see 3 teams in the post-season from this division, it wouldn't shock me at all.

NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Season 31 Coach: Woody_08 (Previous Season - Season 30 Green Bay Packers (7-9)
Season 30 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach TeamKA)
Woody had a collapse for the ages last season. He was at one point in first place in the NFC North by 3 games. He wound up finishing (1-6) in his final 7 games and missed out on the playoffs. Woody has learned from this collapse, we believe, and has taken his coaching talents to the dirty south. Atlanta has a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Julio Jones, Roddy White, Steven Jackson to name a few. Their defense is a little shaky, but the way Woody plays defense, he might make up for what they lack.

Carolina Panthers
Season 31 Coach: TXSpinRb8 (Previous Season - Season 30: Jacksonville Jaguars (4-11)
Season 30 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach Dpanther95)
The Panthers without Dpanther. It's like Peanut Butter without Jelly. Very strange to see but Season 31 will have a new coach in Carolina. Coach TXSpinRb8. Or good ole Vinny. Last season Vinny made his return to the MOF and took over the (0-1) Jaguars. He wound up finishing the season (4-12) including a sim win in there too. So he really only won 3 games. However, winning 3 games with the Jaguars is a feat in itself. The Panthers have a pretty good team, and if Vinny can get hot, you never know what can happen.

New Orleans Saints
Season 31 Coach: Pauly2110 (Previous Season - Season 30: Philadelphia Eagles (9-7)
Season 30 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Aaron13pgh)
Coach Aaron took the Saints to the NFC Championship last season, and then he split. The Saints hired Coach Pauly to take his spot. What is great is that Pauly debuted in the MOF with the Saints back in Season 6. Way back! Well now he has come full circle and is back in the big easy once again. We think this is a match made in heaven. The Saints have a great offense, and a decent defense it seems like its right up Pauly's alley. Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston. We can go on and on. Pauly will be a force in Season 31.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Season 31 Coach: DaHItman7 *Rookie* (Previous Season - Season 30: Washington Redskins (6-3)
Season 30 Team Result: 6-10 (Coach MMXcalibur)
Coach MMX had a disappointing season with the Bucs last season, and DaHitman looks to have a better shot at them this season. DaHitman came into the MOF last season and took over Washington. He went (6-3) in his 9 games played, including two wins over the great Pauly, who is in his division this season. What a nice young rivalry brewing. The Bucs are challenged, as we know. They have a nice running game with Doug Martin, but they need a Quarterback. Vincent Jackson might be traded before DaHitman can get a shot with these guys.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC SOUTH
This is Pauly's division to lose. We think he will win this division by 2 or 3 games for sure. The only team that has a shot in our eyes are the Falcons and coach Woody. Depending where Woody's head is at, he could challenge Pauly here. The Bucs and Panthers will be the worst two teams in the NFC.

NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
Season 31 Coach: Qpeezy35 (Previous Season - Season 30 Arizona Cardinals (14-2) *Super Bowl Runner-Up*
Season 30 Team Result: 14-2 (Coach Qpeezy35)
The Arizona Challenge was taken and defeated last season by Qpeezy. He took the Cardinals to a (14-2) record and a trip to the Super Bowl. He was only 3 points away from winning the whole thing. So what does Qpeezy do in Season 31? He goes back to the Cardinals. Great move by Qpeezy who seems to really understand these Cardinals, or these Funky Cardinals according to him. We expect Andre Ellington to have a huge season and possible MVP candidate status. Who will be the QB in Arizona this season, Carson or Logan?

San Francisco 49ers
Season 31 Coach: Trevpap (Previous Season - Season 30: Chicago Bears (1-15)
Season 30 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Commish Jeff)
The 49ers had a very strong finish last season under Commish Jeff, including wins over every single NFC playoff team (except the Lions). Instead of reupping Commish Jeff, the 49ers have hired Trevpap. The same Trevpap who won only 1 game last season with the Bears. Fortunately for Trevpap the 49ers are NOT the Bears. They have arguably the best defensive team in the game and he will enjoy that very much. The weapons on offense are endless, with Stevie Johnson joining the crew. The 49ers have a shot at the Cardinals this season, we'll see what happens.

Seattle Seahawks
Season 31 Coach: MMXcalibur (Previous Season - Season 30: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-10)
Season 30 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Trigrdan)
Coach MMX has to be ecstatic to have the Seahawks land in his lap in the draft. They dropped a few spots to #6 which was a surprise to all of us. With rumors about Marshawn Lynch being traded, MMX hopes to get enough games in before that happens or if it happens. Seattle's secondary is second to none, and they can easily stop any pass attack in the league. Seattle can really make some noise if MMX can stay focused. We know he has alot on his plate, including managing an NHL league as well, so if he can get his ducks in a row, he will be tough to beat.

St. Louis Rams
Season 31 Coach: Uccbrett (Previous Season - Season 30: Cleveland Browns (11-5)
Season 30 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach Ahart62)
Coach Brett is back for Season 31 after he finished 11-5 with the Browns last season. We expect alot out of the Rams this season and Coach Brett. He has the talent to challenge for the division title, and he has just enough talent on the team to do some damage as well. They have some good running backs and depending who Brett starts at Quarterback, the pass attack might be underrated too. The defense of the Rams is where it's at with Quinn and Long, these guys can get a nasty rush going. It will be exciting to watch the Rams in Season 31.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC WEST
The way Qpeezy played with the Cardinals last season, it will be hard to dethrone him here. So we're going with the Cardinals by a few games. We believe the Rams will finish second and witha shot at the wild-card. The 49ers and Seahawks will finish behind them, with the most talented teams but just not enough coach talent.
