Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF Season predictions. It saddens me to say that this will officially be the last season under PlayStation 3 and although we've had some excellent seasons, and memories it's time to move forward. The MOF stays ahead of the curve, and it's innovative. Which is why in March 2014 the MOF will exclusively be on the PlayStation 4 with Madden '25. However, that's neither here nor there, because we have 1 final season left on the PS3, Season 28. We want to make this season not only memorable, but epic.

We just finished the Season 28 draft, and we did have some surprises in there, like MOF Commissioner designating himself as 32nd pick, and Coach Betts returning home to the Redskins. We also see the first ever division with 3 former Super Bowl Champions, including the current champion. This season is going to be great, and we want to send PS3 off the right way. So without further ado, here are your Season 28 predictions!

AFC East
Buffalo Bills: Coach Beast10790 - Season 27: Chicago Bears (11-5) *Super Bowl Runner-Up*
Miami Dolphins: Coach Bubbaduran07 - Season 27: Denver Broncos (13-3)
New England Patriots: Coach Uccbrett - Season 27: New England Patriots (14-2) *Defending Champion*
New York Jets: Coach Latinyank77478 - Season 27: New York Jets (10-6)

Analysis: The AFC East comes into this season with 3 former champions, and correct me if I am wrong but this is the first time that has ever happened. 3 defending champions in the same division. We have had numerous monstrous divisions in the past, but this one might take the cake. First you have the Buffalo Bills in Coach Beast, who has 1 title under his belt, with the Buffalo Bills back in Season 21. What was impressive about Beast last season is that he came in when the Bears were 2-2, and took them to an 11-5 record, and right to the Super Bowl where he was 2 points away from hoisting his 2nd Super Bowl title. He has his team this season, and with that running game of Spiller and Jackson, they will be an extreme threat to the rest of the AFC. The Miami Dolphins bring in Season 26's champion, Bubbaduran. Bubba had a great season with the Broncos in Season 27, trying to defend his title he was tripped up in the Divisional playoffs by Coach BigDre245 but that doesn't mean he should be taken lightly. Although the Miami Dolphins are NOT the Denver Broncos, they still have a pretty solid defense, and can put up points. I expect a step backwards for Duran, but that's still better than most coaches here in the MOF. The defending champion Coach Uccbrett is back with the Patriots, he has decided to defend his title and go for a repeat with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. It looks like Brady will be the AFC MVP from Season 27, and its really hard to pick against Brett and this team. He only lost 2 games last season on his way to his first MOF Super Bowl title. He will be receiving the trophy very soon, and he'll get to enjoy that for a few months. In final, the New York Jets. A team that might be on the outside looking in when it's all said and done, because when you're in a division full of defending champions, it's never easy. Coach Alex is still a mastermind with his Jets, and I expect them to win double digit games, but he might take the Qpeezy award and be a 10 win team, with no playoffs.

In Final: This is the most talented division in MOF history, and I know it's been said before, but the only way you're getting better than this is to have 4 defending champions in the same division. This is the Patriots division to lose, he's used to the team, he won the championship last season with them and he has Tom Brady. I expect the Bills to be right there with the Patriots, and for Miami and the Jets to battle for 3rd place. I think we definitely see 2 wild-card teams out of this division.

AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: Coach Dagger27 - Season 27: Indianapolis Colts (8-8)
Cincinnati Bengals: Coach Woody_08 - Season 27: Buffalo Bills (6-10)
Cleveland Browns: Coach Classo1999 - Season 27: Tennessee Titans (7-9)
Pittsburgh Steelers: Coach Pettigrew95 - Season 27: St. Louis Rams (12-4)

Analysis: When you look at the AFC North, you say to yourself, there are alot of good defenses here. That is definitely true. The division is overloaded with D. Even the Browns have a very good defense. You look at the coaches and you say, okay 1 coach from last season finished with a winning record, so what's the deal? Well the Baltimore Ravens come into the season with Coach Dagger at the sticks. Dagger had an up and down season with the Colts, finishing 8-8 although he won the AFC South with that record, he did not get passed the Jets in the wild-card round. As long as Dagger doesn't find himself on a boat during the playoffs, I think he can improve on his mediocre record of last season. The Cincinnati Bengals are my sleeper pick this season. Coach Woody finished 6-10 with the Bills a season ago, but he had some very nice victories during the stretch. He is arguably the best user safety in the league, and he seems to make all the tackles, which is very impressive. If he can improve his offensive play from a season ago, these guys could easily win this division. The Cleveland Browns are coached by rookie Classo1999 or Shawn Malone. Malone took over the Titans last season after Coach Loki was dismissed, he finished with a 7-9 record and almost snuck his way into the playoffs. This season he has a far less superior team in the Browns, well on offense anyway. The defense of the Browns is very good, but unfortunately defense does not win you championships in this game. The offense of Cleveland is stagnant, with slow old running backs, and a QB problem. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming in as the favorite of the division, with Coach Pettigrew at the helm, he brings his 12-4 record from a season ago to the steel city. The early rumblings hear that Pettigrew is not very happy with the speed of the defensive backs, so that could be a weakness that opponents may try to exploit. I am sure he will figure it all out though, and be the one that rises up.

In Final: Pittsburgh's division to lose. I don't really see anyone matching his talent, unless a coach gets hot here. I think the Bengals and Ravens will battle for 2nd place, but both coaches will most likely miss the playoffs due to the AFC East Beasts. I think Cleveland will have a rough go at it, but in the end will probably cause an upset or two.

AFC South
Houston Texans: Coach BigDre245 - Season 27: Baltimore Ravens (12-4)
Indianapolis Colts: Coach Ukcat98 - Season 27: Cincinnati Bengals (4-12)
Jacksonville Jaguars: MOF Commissioner - Season 27: Detroit Lions (11-5)
Tennessee Titans: Coach Maddenusa09 - Season 27: Houston Texans (3-13)

Analysis: The AFC South has been given a bad rep because of last season. The Colts won the division with an 8-8 record, and the rest of the division below .500, making it the weakest division in the MOF. This season might be about the same, although it might not be the weakest, it will have at least two teams with sub .500 records. The Houston Texans come into the season the easy favorite to win this division. BigDre245 is coming off an excellent season with the Ravens, where he was just 1 win away from making his first Super Bowl. He finished 12-4, winning the North, and knocking out the defending champ Duran. The Texans are a good team that finished with a bad NFL record, so expect big things out of Dre. The Indianapolis Colts have a TON of talent, and will only get better with the updates. Coach Ukcat though has had 2 very rough seasons with Madden '25. Including last season with his favorite team, finishing 4-12. So expectations are understandably low entering Season 28. The Jacksonville Jaguars are manned by MOF Commissioner. Dypko punished himself last season for going unsportsmanlike on Coach Krayzie, in order to break some records, and he gave himself the last pick in Season 28's draft. Well he has been stuck with the Jaguars, which we all expected. The Jaguars are not a very good team, that's a shock to no one, and the QB situation might be a revolving door, but I think Dypko's skills alone will earn him second place in the division. The Titans are manned up by Coach Maddenusa09 who initially began the season with the Redskins last season, and then resigned, and came back to finish the Texans season. Overall I think he might've won 1 or 2 games total. Maddenusa's skills are lacking a bit, but that's okay because that's not what the MOF is all about. Maddenusa will fight to the finish, but unfortunately the season does not look bright for him and the Titans.

In Final: I'd be shocked if Houston didn't win this division by 3 or more games. Dypko's Jaguars could be a surprise team if he can figure out that offense and 4-3 defense, but don't count on it. The Titans and Colts will battle each other for 3rd place, and I think they will both finish with double digit loses.

AFC West
Denver Broncos: Coach Rmorales26 - Season 27: Arizona Cardinals (4-12)
Kansas City Chiefs: Coach IGotASxyWife - Season 27: New Orleans Saints (7-9)
Oakland Raiders: Coach TeamKA - Season 27: Oakland Raiders (7-9)
San Diego Chargers: Coach CheeferD - Season 26: Indianapolis Colts (13-3)

Analysis: The AFC West will be an interesting division to say the least. We have a bunch of middle of the pack coaches and none really stand out as being dominant. Cheefer is coming back off his 1 year suspension for illegal substance abuse, and TeamKA is again, back with the Raiders. The Denver Broncos are the most talented team in the division no doubt about, as they are coached by Rmorales. Coach Ralfy is the essential MOF veteran. Has been here for a very long time, and I think maybe Pauly and Jfon have been here longer than him. Ralfy has been one to underachieve with his teams, as he finished 4-12 last season, and he only technically won 1 game and the rest were sims. So the expectations are not high in Mile High. The Chiefs are coached by IGSW this season. And Coach IGSW has not been the same since he won his Super Bowl title back in Season 18. This will make 10 seasons now since he's won his title, and he would love to get back to the glory days, and he has a shot with the Chiefs. Jamaal Charles, and a very good defense has these guys on my list of WATCH OUT NOW. The Oakland Raiders are once again coached by TeamKA. KA seems to get off to slow starts, and then steamrolls at the end. I believe he won 5 of his last 6 games last season to finish 7-9, including a win over the champion Patriots. The Raiders and Coach TeamKA were the AFC Champions back in Season 25, and he looks to get back to the promise land this season. However, I think he will have to put a little more time in if he wants to get back. The San Diego Chargers are a very underrated squad, and with Cheefer at the helm, it looks like these guys will be the team to beat this season. Cheefer had a season off due to violating the substance abuse policy, but now he has back and better than ever. He said the season off refreshed him and he's ready to compete. I agree with him, and I think this is going to be a very good season for the Cheef.

In Final: I see this division in 2 tiers. The Chargers, and the rest. I think San Diego is the clear cut favorite to win the division, with the Chiefs and Raiders battling for 2nd place and a possible wild-card berth. The Broncos are my dark horse, because if Rafael puts the time and effort in that i know he can, he could definitely be dominant with the Broncos.

NFC East
Dallas Cowboys: Coach Trigrdan - Season 27: New York Giants (10-6)
New York Giants: Coach Enzo - Season 27: Washington Redskins (5-11)
Philadelphia Eagles: Coach MrRoclo - Season 27: Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
Washington Redskins: Coach NYRedsins35 - Season 27: Atlanta Falcons (9-7)

Analysis: The NFC East always seems to be a division of prominence. It always has great teams, finishing with great records, and we always have a 10 win or 11 win team miss the playoffs. Last season was no different. The Giants and Eagles both finished 10-6 and both missed the playoffs, as the Cowboys finished 11-5 and won the division. This season will probably be no different. The Dallas Cowboys bring in Coach Trigrdan who last season took the Giants to a 10-6 record, after coming off a Super Bowl loss to the Broncos. The Cowboys are no doubt a great team, and they have a lot of weapons on the offensive side. Coach Trigr should not be overlooked because he missed the playoffs last season, he's had arguably the best last 10 seasons of anyone in the MOF. The Giants are coached by Enzo this season, who came into last season taking over the Redskins for Coach Maddenusa. He finished the season at 5-11 but word has it that Enzo can ball, and he's going to turn it around with Big Blue. The Giants have a lot of nice weapons and talent around the team, so I dont see this being entirely impossible. The Philadelphia Eagles, for the 3rd straight season, are coached by MrRoclo. Roclo has gotten better to his defense, as he finished 9-7, and then 10-6 last season. So how about 11-5 for an encore? We will have to see, the competition is, as usual, tough here in the NFC East. Finally, the Redskins. Coach Betts had enough of venturing out into the wild with another team, and although Betts finished with a 9-7 record last season, he won his division and even won a playoff game, but all Betts are off (no pun intended) this season, as he returns to DC. Look for him to put up great numbers once again, and to be on top of the world in Washington.

In Final: This is going to be heavy competition throughout. The Redskins have to be the favorite, because Betts is a 4-time champion with the Redskins and he knows the ins and outs. The Eagles are next on my list, because when you play with a team for 3 straight seasons, you start to become an expert on that team. The Cowboys and Giants will also be teams to watch for. Bottom line, this division has the potential to have 3 playoff teams, but also has the potential to have 1 because of them beating up each other.

NFC North
Chicago Bears: Coach Pauly2110 - Season 27: Pittsburgh Steelers (6-10)
Detroit Lions: Coach Whosnext83 - Season 27: Seattle Seahawks (11-5)
Green Bay Packers: Coach Stormdownburst - Season 27: San Diego Chargers (6-10)
Minnesota Vikings: Coach Krayzie300 - Season 27: Minnesota Vikings (2-14)

Analysis: The NFC Norris division is set to do some serious battle this season. Although you just have 1 team with a winning record from last season, you have some old school coaches in this division. Every coach has had his share of history, including two hall of famers. The Chicago Bears are the MOF's version of the New York Yankees. Winning 6 Championships and making 7 Super Bowls in just 27 seasons. This season the Bears are coached by none other than Coach Pauly2110. The hall of fame coach is glorifying himself, stating to pack that MOF trophy and ship it to him early, because the title is his this season. Well in the words of Lee Corso, NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND. Pauly had a rough season with the Steelers, going 6-10 in his comeback season. He also subbed for the Buccaneers and lost a bunch of games with them too. As long as he doesn't drink during his games, he will be a lock for the playoffs. I believe he will have a different focus knowing that this is the last season of PS3. The Detroit Lions who are everyone's favorite, are coached by Whosnext83. Last season he took the Seahawks to an 11-5 record as he made his triumphant return to the league. The Seahawks are a much better squad than the Lions, we understand that, but the Lions have Calvin Johnson. The same Johnson who broke every receiving record in MOF history last season. I think the Lions are going to be the team to beat here. The Green Bay Packers are starting to fall in the all-time records, as Footballray took them to a 4-12 record last season. This season the Packers are coached by a familiar face, Coach Stormdownburst. It seems like every couple seasons Coach Storm coaches the Packers, but never really achieves anything special with them. I don't think this season will be any different. The Packers have a lot of talent, I just think Storm is out coached most of the time during his games. The Minnesota Vikings have hired back Coach Krayzie even after his 2-14 season. To be honest, he really went about 2-10 and then received 3 or 4 simmed loses. The Vikings lack a QB there's no question about that, but Krayzie did pretty well with Freeman at the helm last season. When Krayzie is 100% dedicated to his team, he does pretty well. He just needs to find that focus once again, and he will be a tough out.

In Final: Two team race. The Bears and the Lions will fight each other for first place, it will be the head to head games that will determine the winner of this division. I think both teams are playoff bound, and the Packers and Vikings will be battling each other to not be in last place.

NFC South
Atlanta Falcons: Coach Footballray - Season 27: Green Bay Packers (4-12)
Carolina Panthers: Coach Dpanther95 - Season 27: Carolina Panthers (7-9)
New Orleans Saints: Coach Cedarpoint2k - Season 27: Cleveland Browns (8-8)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Coach Jfon - Season 27: Miami Dolphins (10-6)

Analysis: The NFC South returns with an MOF rivalry that has stood the test of time. The Buccaneers and the Panthers. Both coaches have had their teams more often than not, and have developed a very nice rivalry over the years. The Atlanta Falcons won this division last season with a 9-7 record, they return this season with Coach Footballray, who I believe did not win a single game after he took over the Packers mid-season. Footballray has a little more to learn about this game before he becomes competitive, and I think this will be a rough go for him until he can figure it out. There is no question however, that the Falcons have a lot of weapons.. but so did the Packers. The Carolina Panthers are back with Coach Dpanther95. Dpanther had a decent season winning 7 games with these same Panthers, and we all know he has been waiting for the day that Carolina was an actual competitive NFL team so he could have a good team in Madden, and that time is now. The Panthers could be a surprise team, especially in this division. I say this every season, but the most deserving coach to finally reach the post-season is and always will be Coach Dpanther. The New Orleans Saints have a new coach at the helm, and that is Cedarpoint. Coach Cedarpoint took the Browns last season, to an 8-8 record which many believe is impressive in its own right. Cedarpoint has always been a coach that has his good days and bad days, and when he is on, he is on! The Saints are that team that will break him into a new light, if he cannot win with the Saints, then he doesn't deserve to win at all! However, I believe barring any type of distraction, he has to be the favorite to win this division. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a familiar face coming back to them, and that's coach JFon. Coach Jfon saw what life was like without Tampa Bay last season, and with a decent team in the Dolphins. He won 10 games. Now he has to deal with a QB that is less accurate than Ray Charles, and a RB who is as fragile as him too. The Buccaneers will be that team that will beat the defending champ, then lose to the worst team from a season ago. That's how Jfon's seasons have gone with Tampa Bay, and I don't expect anything less than that again.

In Final: Toss up. This division is a complete toss up, with 2 real teams the Panthers and Saints vying for first place, with the Bucs mixed in. I think the Saints have the edge, because Cedar is just a great coach and has a great team. I think the Panthers will be much improved from a season ago, as we go the team gets better. And the Bucs with Jfon will also be competitive but not enough to overtake the division. I think we can see this division being 10-6, 9-7, 8-8 or 9-7, 8-8, 7-9, with those 3 teams separated by a game or two.

NFC West
Arizona Cardinals: Coach Qpeezy35 - Season 27: Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
San Francisco 49ers: Coach Trevpap - Season 27: San Francisco 49ers (9-7)
Seattle Seahawks: Coach Raydar - Season 27: Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11)
St. Louis Rams: Coach Gbryan - Rookie

Analysis: The NFC West is turning into a division of excellent teams. Every team in this division has a solid squad, and when it comes down to it, any one of them realistically could come away with the division title. The Arizona Challenge this season is taken by none other than Coach Qpeezy. Peezy was known as a coach who would win 10 or 11 games and miss the damn playoffs, somehow this happened two seasons in a row to him, which discouraged him from returning. However we did talk him back into coming back, because the MOF wouldn't be the same without him. So we finish out PS3 with Peezy taking the Arizona Challenge, and I believe with the talent on defense and the solid play of Carson Palmer, these guys could be your division champions. The San Francisco 49ers are back with Coach Trevpap who took the 49ers to a (6-2) record before going on his cruise. He came back and finished the season 3-5 and missed the post-season. You better believe he will be on his game from start to finish this season, and be ready to win with the most talented team from top to bottom in the game. The Seattle Seahawks however, might want to argue that point. Coach Raydar who finished 5-11 with the Jaguars last season, finally gets a shot at coaching a fantastic team, the top rated team in the game, the Seahawks. Seattle is undoubtedly a great team and they are always in the mix just because of their raw talent. The St. Louis Rams are coached by rookie Gbryan, and not much is really know about him other than he's Beast's boy. If he plays anything like Beast, the NFC West is going to be turned upside down. But we all know how I am with predicting rookies records, you have to earn respect to be shown respect, so for now I think the Rams will be finishing in the bottom of the NFC West.

In Final: This division is going to be a nice fight between three teams. I give the edge to Qpeezy, because he always finds a way to win the tough games, and I just love the Cardinals defense. I think the 49ers and Seahawks have a legitimate shot at the wild-card but the x-factor will be their head to head games.
