Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF Season predictions. This is the third 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 32 draft was an absolute success again! As the staff took over for the Commissioner as he left for Florida for a few days. The league did not miss a beat, and I'm sure the Commish was extremely happy about that.

So Season 31 ended about a week ago, and we saw Beast10790 win his third Super Bowl title with the Buffalo Bills. Extremely impressive, as he beat Pauly 27-3. That marks Pauly's 4th Super Bowl loss, which has the league buzzing as well as the editorial writers. We'll see if they show Pauly any love this season. We have a bunch of surprise coaches in different places, so we're really looking forward to this season!! Without further ado, here are your Season 32 predictions.

AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Season 32 Coach: Beast10790 (Previous Season - Season 31: Buffalo Bills (13-3) *Current Champion*
Season 31 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach Beast10790)
Beast is back again with the Buffalo Bills and is becoming the most feared current MOF coach in the league. He won his 3rd Super Bowl title last season, and is looking to defend it once again. The only thing that stands in his way, is himself. There's no reason why Beast could not repeat as champion. He will be dominant with CJ Spiller, looking for another MVP, and the emergence of Sammy Watkins. Don't forget that dominant defensive line. The only issue I see with the Buffalo Bills is at Quarterback, which Beast pretty much has under control. Beast will again, be a Beast.

Miami Dolphins
Season 32 Coach Qpeezy35  - (Previous Season - Season 31: Arizona Cardinals (8-8)
Season 30 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Jnice2319)
Coach Qpeezy has decided to leave the NFC and go to the Miami Dolphins. Last season Q took a step back with the Cardinals, after a Super Bowl Season 30 with the same team. The Dolphins have a better offense, no doubt about that, but the defense just isn't as great. We all know Q is a hall of fame caliber coach, so he will figure out the dynamic of the fish. Mike Wallace and Ryan Tannehill will be on the look out for great seasons. Cameron Wake will be someone Q will fall in love with pretty quickly, and their secondary is a little underrated. He will have to deal with Beast, and I think that will cause him to have some fits of rage.

New England Patriots
Season 32 Coach Raydar (Previous Season - Season 31: San Diego Chargers (5-11)
Season 30 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach Pettigrew95)
Coach Raydar signs with the New England Patriots in hopes to have a bounce back Season 31 where he went (5-11) with the San Diego Chargers. Raydar has had his ups and downs in the MOF, but there's no doubting that Raydar has the talent to compete. It's just staying focused. The Patriots in the past were never a great MOF team, but the past few seasons they have been very very good. The defense is solid, and Tom Brady is well Tom Brady. Add Blount at RB and you have a very competitive team. Now if Raydar can stay focused, he will do some damage.

New York Jets
Season 32 Coach MrRoclo (Previous Season - Season 28: Philadelphia Eagles (13-3)
Season 31 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Latinyank77478)
The Jets without Coach Alex is very strange to see. MrRoclo has decided to come back to the MOF. Roc hasn't played since Season 28, our last season on the PS3. Roclo went 13-3 that season and lost in the NFC Championship. He finally raised enough money through Unicef and Girl scout cookies to purchase a PS4 and get back into the league. There's no question that Roclo can ball, but it's going to take a bit for him to get used to the speed of the PS4. The Jets have a lot of weapons however, a very good defense too. So if Roclo can figure this out sooner than later, he might be able to do something.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC EAST
The AFC East is owned by Buffalo right now, and until they are knocked off, I will continue to pick them. Beast is so used to playing with Buffalo that it's become a staple. What needs to be done, is someone needs to select them ahead of him. The Miami Dolphins I think will be the second place team in this division, they will also be right in the mix for a wild-card. The Patriots and Jets will battle each other for 3rd place, I believe the Patriots will end up finishing 3rd and Roclo is going to get off to an awful start and he'll never recover.

AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens
Season 32 Coach: IGotASxyWife (Previous Season - Season 31: Kansas City Chiefs (12-4)
Season 31 Team Result: 3-13 (Coach Hovadagod_23)
Coach IGSW is with the Ravens this season. He's coming off a 2-Season stretch with the Chiefs, where he had a ton of success, including a Super Bowl victory in Season 30. He goes to the Ravens this season, and it's a bit of an upgrade. The Runningback situation is not as great as Kansas City, but the pass offense is definitely better. This division is beastly, but it's nothing that Ron can't handle. The defense is always great in Baltimore, and even though Ron is going against everything a Steeler fan should, he should have success in Maryland.

Cincinnati Bengals
Season 32 Coach: Ukcat98 (Previous Season - Season 31: Pittsburgh Steelers (7-9)
Season 31 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach Classo1999)
Ukcat is finally back with his team, the Bengals. Last season Ukcat coached the Steelers to a 7-9 record, and he's back in the AFC North. However this division has gone through a major overhaul and it will not be easy to compete. The thing is the Bengals have probably the best receiver in the division, in AJ Green. Also with the emergence of Jeremy Hill, the run game of the Bengals is also very very good. Their defense is also a strong point with a strong secondary and decent defensive line. Ukcat will have an uphill battle, but I believe he will be competitive.

Cleveland Browns
Season 32 Coach: Pettigrew95 (Previous Season - Season 31: Chicago Bears (14-2)
Season 31 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach Canesbucs1)
Pettigrew has been one of the most dominant coaches in recent memory, winning almost 80% of his games. Last season he went (14-2) with the Chicago Bears and now he has his eyes on Cleveland. The defense of the Browns is something that was on Pettigrew's mind and he looks to really be a force with them. The run game suffers a bit with the loss of Ben Tate, and Johnny football has definitely taken a step back in the ratings department, but it's nothing that Pettigrew cannot handle. He'd rather have a very good defense and a mediocre offense. Either way, Pettigrew will be a force to be reckoned with.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Season 32 Coach: Commish Jeff (Previous Season - Season 31: Indianapolis Colts (11-5)
Season 31 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Ukcat98)
Commish Jeff made his mark last season finishing (11-5) and winning the AFC South with the Colts. He also won a playoff game. This season he decided to go with a team that he's never coached before, the Pittsburgh Steelers. We all know about the stick skills and MLB skills that Commish Jeff has, but now he will have a very good running game to go with that defense, something that the old school Jeff would love. As we said before, this division is going to be very tough to win, but if he can get on a streak with the Steelers, Jeff will be a favorite to win it.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC NORTH
This division is beastly. I give the edge to the Ravens and Ron, only because Ron has just been on a very hot roll as of late. The Browns and Steelers will battle for 2nd place, and it's quite possible the 3rd place team will miss the playoffs. The Bengals are are the team that I think will finish last, but could very easily have a winning record. I would not be shocked if 3 teams made the playoffs out of this division.

AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans
Season 32 Coach: Stormdownburst (Previous Season - Season 31: Houston Texans (5-11)
Season 31 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach Stormdownburst)
Coach Stormdown was really looking forward to coaching the Packers this season, but they were unfortunately picked right ahead of him in the draft. So Storm took the next best thing for him, the Houston Texans. This will be the 4th straight season Storm has coached the Texans. He fell short last season at 5-11, but the season before he won the division. I believe he will have these guys on point this season. With the explosion of JJ Watt and addition of Clowney, and having Cushing there, the defense is very very good. Arian Foster will keep the running attack going and it will make Storm the favorite in the division.

Indianapolis Colts
Season 32 Coach: MMXcalibur (Previous Season - Season 31: Seattle Seahawks (7-8-1)
Season 31 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach Commish Jeff)
Coach MMX wanted the Chiefs, that's not any secret, however they were off the board when he was up. So he took the Colts, reluctantly. MMX took the Seahawks to a (7-8-1) record last season, and was at times a very tough out. The Colts are a very good team, they have a great QB, very good receivers, and two very good tight ends. The defense is also very good and the Colts are easily by far the most talented team in the division. It will all be up to how much time and effort MMX puts into the season, if he really focuses he has the talent to go far.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Season 32 Coach: Dagger27 (Previous Season - 31: Philadelphia Eagles (4-7)
Season 31 Team Result: 2-14 (Coach CombatCook84)
Coach Dagger is back after leaving last season abruptly while coaching the Eagles. Finishing (4-7) the Eagles wound up losing the rest of their games with a sub, and alot of experts think it was due to Dagger's absence. This season Dagger had a low pick, and had to pick up his bags and head to Florida. Jacksonville to be exact. The Jaguars are not a very good team, there's no way around that. Blake Bortles has great arm strength but that's about it. They are in a weak division, however they are a weak team. Dagger will have his hands full here.

Tennessee Titans
Season 32 Coach: Woody_08 (Previous Season - 31: Atlanta Falcons (1-15)
Season 31 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach JnyQuest/Maypo203)
The Titans were coachless up until Monday afternoon, and they were able to lure Coach Woody out of retirement and back onto the sideline. Woody did not have a great season with the Falcons last season, that's no surprise. He went (1-15) and earned his place as the worst team of the season. This season might not be much better, the Titans are the worst rated team in the game without a running game, and no real receiving threats. Their defense is suspect, and their Quarterback is a rookie. Woody is going to struggle, there's no doubt there.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC SOUTH
This division is weak, we know that. The Jaguars and Titans are very low rated teams, and the Texans aren't that great either. On paper the Colts should win this division by far. However, Storm has gotten to know the Texans very very well, and has become the favorite to win this division. Especially with MMX's reluctant selection of the Colts. I believe Houston will win the division, with the Colts not too far behind. There won't be a wild-card team coming out of this division. The Jags and Titans will both have double digit loses.

AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
Season 32 Coach: Canesbucs1 (Previous Season - Season 31: Cleveland Browns (12-4)
Season 31 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Trigrdan)
Canesbucs had a stellar Season 31 with the Brownies, making it all the way to the AFC Championship, before eventually losing to your defending champion Beast. Coach Canes has been a staple in the MOF for a very long time, is a hall of famer, two time champion, and has one of the best winning percentage in league history. So when he took the Broncos #1 overall in the draft, you all knew right away what he was about to do. The Broncos have it all. Offense, defense, a great QB, great WRs, great TE, an emerging RB, and great defense. It's going to be hard to beat Canes this season.

Kansas City Chiefs
Season 32 Coach: NYRedskins35 (Previous Season - Season 31: Washington Redskins (9-7)
Season 31 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach IGotASxyWife)
Coach Betts has decided to leave DC and go to the Chiefs. It was a very tough decision I'm sure, but with the decline of the overall team and RG3 the decision had to be made. Betts has a very impressive resume, but has fallen short the last few seasons in the post-season. He still has 4 rings and that's more than any other coach in MOF history. He joins a Chiefs team that has arguably the best RB in the league, and one of the most accurate QBs. He will have his hands full with Denver, but we think Kansas City will be right in the mix when its all said and done.

Oakland Raiders
Season 32 Coach: Mellomoney93 *Rookie*
Season 31 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach TeamKA)
Not much is known about rookie Mellomoney, all we know is that he's a rookie. The Raiders are a very poor team, and he selected them at #31. Derek Carr has a bright future, there's no question about that. The running backs Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Latavius Murray provide a great rushing attack. However it's going to be tough to compete in this division with the Chiefs and Broncos. The Raiders will need some help, but talent is there. You never know what a rookie is capable of until they start playing, so don't be offended by the prediction.

San Diego Chargers
Season 32 Coach: CombatCook84 (Previous Season - Season 31: Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14)
Season 31 Team Result: 5-11 (Coach Raydar)
CombatCook had his first MOF Season with the Jaguars last season, and it was a poor one to say the least. He did knock off Commish Jeff early in the season, but that was only 1 of his 2 wins. He did show some promise with Blake Bortles showing the league that if he had a real team, he could compete. Well here's his chance. He drafted a very good team in the Chargers however he's stuck in the AFC West with two behemoths. Philip Rivers definitely is better than Blake Bortles, and that Charger defense is MUCH better than Jacksonville.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC WEST
This will be a two team race. The Broncos and Chiefs. I'm going to give the edge to the Chiefs here, but it'll be a close one. The Broncos will absolutely be in the wild-card race but in a very tough conference, it will be a feat to get to the post-season. The Chargers will finish 3rd, and if they can surprise some people maybe they can knock off the Chiefs, but fat chance. The Raiders and rookie Mello will be in the basement, based solely on them being the Raiders.

NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys
Season 32 Coach: Dpanther95 (Previous Season - Season 31: Dallas Cowboys (7-9)
Season 31 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Dpanther95)
Dpanther is back with Dallas after going (7-9) with the same team last season. Dpanther has usually selected the Panthers in previous seasons, but has gone to Dallas a few times recently. The Cowboys have a very good team, obviously. They are one of the most complete teams in the game. Romo, Dez, Murray, and a very good defense. I believe Dallas can have a shot at the division if things fall in place the right way. The NFC East is a little weaker than normal and if he can win his divisional games then he has a decent shot.

New York Giants
Season 32 Coach: BradDevito (Previous Season - Season 31: Minnesota Vikings (4-7-1)
Season 31 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach Kckeith57)
DeVito had a shortened Season 31 because of some hardware difficulties. He went 4-7-1 with Minnesota before he had to resign for the season. He is back this season with the Giants and is stoked about ODB. The offense of the Giants is definitely the strong point, the rushing attack with Jennings and the emergence of Larry Donnell gives Eli a safety blanket. The NFC East will be more competitive this season, especially with long time friend Jnice as the Skins. I believe the Giants will pose the biggest threat to the Redskins for the division.

Philadelphia Eagles
Season 32 Coach: Trevpap (Previous Season - Season 31: San Francisco 49ers (10-6)
Season 31 Team Result: 4-12 (Coach Dagger27)
Trev had a very nice Season 31 with the 49ers, finishing 10-6 and was alive for the division right up until the last day of the season. Unfortunately he fell short, and missed out on the post-season. This season he decided to take the high flying Eagles with that super charged offense and speedy running attack. The defense could use some work, and they have a bit of a QB issue but other than that, the Eagles are a very dangerous team. I think Trev has the talent to compete for the division title, but I do think he will fall short and end up battling Dallas for 3rd.

Washington Redskins
Season 32 Coach: Jnice2319 (Previous Season - Season 31: Miami Dolphins (10-6)
Season 31 Team Result: 9-7 (Coach NYRedskins35)
The Redskins are coached this season by Jnice who took the Miami Dolphins to the playoffs last season, and even won a game. His offense was spectacular, with Mike Wallace winning the MVP. He has a different set of characters this season, with RG3 and DeSean Jackson. The defense of Washington is no where near as good as Miami's, so he will struggle stopping coaches. Especially Dallas and the Giants. I think Jnice has the talent to win this division and will battle DeVito's Giants right down to the last game of the season.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC EAST
This division is definitely the hardest to predict in the MOF this season. My gut says Washington, only because of how great Jnice played last season. My heart says Trev because well he's just the most liked coach in the MOF. Some of my head says the Giants, and my pride says the Cowboys because Dpanther needs a playoff win. I'm going to say the Redskins win the division, by a tie breaker over the Giants. Dallas and Philly battle for 3rd.

NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Season 32 Coach: Trigrdan (Previous Season - Season 31: Denver Broncos (8-8)
Season 31 Team Result: 14-2 (Coach Pettigrew95)
Trigrdan had a disappointing Season 31 with the Broncos at 8-8. We all thought Trig would do a better job in Mile High but he was unable to. The Bears as we all know, are the most prestigious team in MOF history and Trig looks to continue the greatness in the Windy city. The Bears went 14-2 last season under Pettigrew, and fell short in the NFC Championship to the Saints. Trig brings great defense to a team that lacks talent on that side of the ball. Cutler, Marshall, Jeffrey and Forte lead a very good offense for a team that should compete in the NFC for a wild-card.

Detroit Lions
Season 32 Coach: TeamKA (Previous Season - Season 31: Oakland Raiders (8-8)
Season 31 Team Result: 7-9 (Coach Krayzie300)
The Lions are one of the better teams in the game. With a very good defense, and Calvin Johnson. Last season Coach Krayzie took them to a (7-9) record and missed out on the post-season. TeamKA last season took his boys (the Raiders) to an 8-8 record, also missing the post-season. TeamKA looks to take advantage of CJ and Stafford and try to put up some points. Don't forget about Reggie Bush in the run game, as well as Bell. The Lions can strike at any moment, and TeamKA needs to use CJ as much as possible to compete here in the NFC North.

Green Bay Packers
Season 32 Coach: CheeferD (Previous Season - Season 31: New England Patriots (11-5)
Season 31 Team Result: 11-5 (Coach BigDre245)
The Packers are coached this season by CheeferD who coached the Pats last season to an 11-5 record. At one point Cheefer was undefeated and looking like the cream of the crop of the AFC but he fell back a little bit and eventually was knocked out of the playoffs in the wild-card round. Cheefer picked the Packers right ahead of Coach Storm and knew he would catch some grief for it, and he definitely did. Either way, the Packers are a great team and Cheef shouldn't feel bad for taking them. Aaron Rodgers and that offense will have this division in control.

Minnesota Vikings
Season 32 Coach: Krayzie300 (Previous Season - Season 31: Detroit Lions (7-9)
Season 31 Team Result: 4-10-2 (Coach BradDevito & Subs)
Krayzie is back with the Vikings after a 1 season hiatus with the Lions. He finished 7-9 with those Lions but won some nice games throughout the season. Now he's back with the Vikings and he's very dangerous with these guys. He could absolutely pull some upsets and even compete for the division. I think the mediocrity of the team will hold him back a bit but when its all said and done he should be right around .500 and battling for 2nd place. The division might be a little far out of reach, but if Peterson and Bridgewater can get it going he might surprise some people.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC NORTH
The Packers I think have this division on lockdown. Cheefer has been a perennial playoff coach season in and season out and I don't see this being any different. The remaining 3 teams will absolutely battle for 2nd place and the winner might even get into the playoffs. I think though, with these teams being so similar they will beat up on each other and probably miss the playoffs all together.

NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Season 32 Coach: Classo1999 (Previous Season - Season 31 Cincinnati Bengals (5-11)
Season 31 Team Result: 1-15 (Coach Woody_08)
Coach Classo spent his last few seasons in the AFC North with the Bengals and he was the Browns as well. He went 5-11 and had a very poor season 31 with the Bengals. He looks to turn things around with Atlanta this season. The Falcons are very equipped on offense with Julio Jones and Roddy White, but their defense is not very good. In addition to that, this could arguably be the best division in the MOF. So I don't expect much from Coach Classo here, just try to compete as best you can champ, and hope you can upset some teams.

Carolina Panthers
Season 32 Coach: Uccbrett (Previous Season - Season 31: St. Louis Rams (10-6)
Season 31 Team Result: 9-6-1 (Coach Ahart62/TXSpinRb8)
Coach Brett won the NFC West last season with the St. Louis Rams and he knocked out BigDre's Packers in the wild-card round. He had a lot of success with the Rams, and there's no reason he cannot have the same success this season with the Carolina Panthers. Sure their receivers aren't great, but they have a dynamite run game, and a very good defense. Cam Newton's ratings are getting higher and higher and like we said before their receivers aren't great but Greg Olsen and Kelvim Benjamin will be enough to cause alot of ruckus. They definitely have a shot at the division and a playoff spot.

New Orleans Saints
Season 32 Coach: Pauly2110 (Previous Season - Season 31: New Orleans Saints (13-3) *Super Bowl Runner-Up*
Season 31 Team Result: 13-3 (Coach Pauly2110)
Pauly makes his triumphant return to the Saints after taking them all the way to the Super Bowl last season. Pauly did fall short of the title, but he had a memorable season. He will be there when its all said and done again, because this is what he does. He always takes a team back to back just to improve on what he did previously. I think he will be one of the best teams in the league without a doubt. Not only is he a real coach, he is an MOF hall of famer, and that's not just by chance. Pauly knows the ins and outs of football and that will always keep in competitive.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Season 32 Coach: LeetPenith  (Previous Season - Season 31: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12-3)
Season 31 Team Result: 12-4 (Coach LeetPenith/DaHitman7)
Coach Leet bursted onto the scene last season with the Buccaneers. He took over an (0-1) squad and brought them to a (12-4) record. The good news is that will be the team he will run with from start to finish this season as well. The Buccaneers have a lot of holes, there's no question about that. However, Leet is an all-world Madden player and he knows these guys like the back of his hand, or he just knows his playbook very well. Either way, Leet will be dominant and will be a force to deal with for the rest of the league.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC SOUTH
This is the best division besides the AFC North, in the MOF. I believe it will be a three team race for the division. I'm going to lean towards Leet to win the division, but I know for sure the Saints will be a wild-card team for sure. The Panthers will have to fight their way to a playoff spot, but I think he can do that as well. The Falcons have a very tough schedule and I don't expect them to win many games.

NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
Season 32 Coach: Hovadagod_23 (Previous Season - Season 31: Baltimore Ravens (3-13)
Season 31 Team Result: 8-8 (Coach Qpeezy35)
Hovadagod had a very disappointing season 31 with the Ravens, going 3-13. Hova hasn't had the best success here in the MOF as his overall career record is 57-130. He has taken the Cardinals, who are the first MOF franchise to lose 300 games. So the combination is very deadly. Given the fact the Cardinals offense isn't that great, I don't see them doing much damage in this division. Hova is usually good for one or two upsets a season, we are still waiting for him to really take off and win a bunch of games and getting into the playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers
Season 32 Coach: Latinyank77478 (Previous Season - Season 31: New York Jets (8-8)
Season 31 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Trevpap)
Alex has decided to finally let go of the Jets, and as it was a tearful press conference, he has made his way to the west coast to San Francisco. Alex went (8-8) last season with the Jets, and most of the experts say that Alex just needs a better team and he'll finally get into the playoffs. Well here it is. There's no more excuses now. The 49ers have arguably the best team in the game, with amazing linebackers, a great D-line, O-line and very good rushing attack. Kaepernick also has very good arm strength but can be erratic at times. We'll see what Alex does.

Seattle Seahawks
Season 32 Coach: BigDre245 (Previous Season - Season 31: Green Bay Packers (11-5)
Season 31 Team Result: 7-8-1 (Coach MMMXcalibur)
BigDre finished Season 31 (11-5) with the Packers and lost in the first round of the playoffs to Uccbrett's Rams. This season he has decided to take the Seattle Seahawks who fell in his lap. We all know the dominance of the Seahawks defense and Marshawn Lynch is an absolute wrecking ball. In addition to that Russell Wilson's ratings have been increasing since Week 1. Dre is the favorite to win this division given his talent, and his team's talent but it will all depend on his receivers. If he can figure that out, he'll be the most dangerous team in the division by far.

St. Louis Rams
Season 32 Coach: Kckeith57 (Previous Season - Season 31: New York Giants (4-12)
Season 31 Team Result: 10-6 (Coach Uccbrett)
Kckeith made his return last season to the MOF with the New York Giants. Although his record was not very good, he made some improvements as the season went on. Including some very impressive wins. This season he was very high on drafting the Rams, and that's exactly what he did. The Rams offense is underrated with Tre Mason and Tavon Austin. Their defense is also very good with Chris Long and Aaron Donald. I think the Rams have a shot at Seattle if he can get it together quick. If not, he'll just be battling Alex for 2nd place.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC WEST
This is Dre's division to lose. I think he is by far and away the best coach and has the best team in this division. I believe the 49ers will be in 2nd place, but it will be a close battle with the Rams. Hova will have a tough time with Arizona because of their poor offense, however that defense should give alot of coaches problems passing and running.
