Cammy:
SPDot, Patriots – I don’t think necessarily SPdot will completely fall to the bottom for the whole cycle but I can definitely see him staying at a under .500 record for the first two seasons of PML. That patriots roster is not fun to work with and if he really wants to get anywhere he might have to tank like a certain user in the league did prior (NEF!!!)
Cook, Rams – I love my man Cook, and we all know this man is a master at rebuilding teams but this dude might have his toughest rebuild to date. When he had the Texans two cycles ago it took him a couple seasons to get himself running and I believe the Rams have far left to offer than those Texans did season 1. Eventually he will be able to pick himself up but theres a very small chance that he can’t and this Rams team holds my boy down.
JT, Panthers – Listen, a lot of you are going to say “How can JT fall from the top he’s not at the top” Well he was ranked #12 by all of you guys so a lot of people in the league must think so. Usually every cycle we go through the same rinse and repeat with JT slowly building up his team to compete for his infamous season 5 run but i’d like to see him start his campaign in season one. Does JT have it in him?
Greeny, Jets – I think Greeny is a fantastic player when he has a good team in his hands but we haven’t seen a polished greeny since Madden 22. Will greeny carry his bad habits from the falcons over to this cycle or will he be able to pick the ball up where he left it when he was playing good football as the Chiefs?
Que, Cardinals – You got a long road ahead of you homie I don’t think you will have fun playing with this roster for the first two seasons at ALL unless you are into BDSM and like the thrill of your roster being abused by players. Im rooting for you though Que I think you can turn this team around but being in the division you got with that team? You gotta climb a steeeeep steeeep mountain.

Fallen:
KingMike, Raiders – Devante Adams and Josh Jacobs can be dynamic playmakers for KingMike, but Jimmy Garoppalo is a below average quarterback this is going to see a lot of stacked boxes. The AFC West is full of former Superbowl winners, and I think Mike is going to be the odd man out until he’s able to address the quarterback position and add some speed to the Raiders offense. In a division with Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, the lack of an ability quarterback will keep points off the board for the Raiders.
Que, Cardinals – Started at the top, now we’re at the bottom.. rock bottom. The Cardinals roster leaves a lot to be desired, but they are a wonderful team for a rebuild. Kyler Murray isn’t gone for the season, but by week 9, will Que still be playing for anything aside from draft position? Marquise Brown will have Que reminiscing about his days in Miami, but he’s a great piece to build an offense around. Owen Pappoe has 93 speed at the linebacker position and the Arizona faithful have forgotten about Simmons, because Pappoe can fill in his shoes at the linebacker or safety position. Season 1 is not in the cards for Que, but let’s be honest, season 1 last cycle wasn’t in the cards for him last cycle either.
Spdot, Patriots – I think Spdot is likely the best coach in the division, but his team is working against him. The Patriots are a tough team to turnaround in a few seasons, but they are considerably worse than the Bears team that Spdot had last cycle. He won’t be a push over in the slightest, but I think the ceiling for his Patriots is to at least make the playoffs once this cycle.
Broncos, DK – As a Broncos fan, I am interested to see if DK can turn the franchise around, but he has his work cut out for him. Patrick Surtain is a lock down corner and Justin Simmons is another superstar on the defense, but the team lacks firepower. Russell Wilson is a shell of the quarterback that played in Seattle and his contract is one of the worst in the league. This division is loaded and DK will be under the gun to perform without the weapons needed to go on a run.
Keraun, Texans –
Keraun is a masterful drafter and team builder. Houston has a lot of youth and his division is a lot less competitive on paper than some of the others in the league, but it might take him a season to fully acclimate to the talent level of his team, especially without any superstar abilities starting out. CJ Stroud is a 73 overall out the gate, so expect some missed throws from him.

SPDot:
Jc, Saints – I trust Jc as a team builder, and he is a relatively weak division. The issue is I don’t see him making the deep playoff run that he did last year. The conferences seem to be more balanced, and though he will probably be in the playoffs every year I don’t see him making another super bowl
Kingmike, Raiders – Its going to be tough to repeat that #1 ranking with the raiders this year. The team has some pieces, but is clearly a bottom two team in that division. The AFC will have some wildcard spots open, and I expect to see him there, but repeating what he did last year will be tough
DK, Broncos – He’s here for basically the same reasons as mike, tough division, bottom two division team, as well as DK did not have the time last year to submit AR. If DK has the same time commitments this year as last, managing the Broncos roster would be tough.
Cook, Rams – The Rams roster is awful, and he will likely trade Kupp and Donald. We know that Cook will get that roster strong, but when will it be ready? The division is still not easy, and strong players in the NFC are starting with solid teams.
Wimmy, Vikings – I think most would say that wimmy is a defensive user, and the Vikings defense is terrible. The offense isn’t much better outside of Jefferson and potentially Addison. He will have to find a new QB as well. The Vikings roster needs some work.

Bubba:
Cook, Rams – Rams are the worst rated team in the game, and Cook is committed to rebuilding through content and being a contender as soon as possible. But with the hand he’s been dealt it may take a couple seasons until he can compete
DK, Broncos- Broncos roster is devoid of top end talent, and the cap situation is nothing short of a dumpster fire. Russ has DK in a stranglehold and it will be a miracle if he can find success with this roster
Wimmy, Vikings – After a very successful cycle Wimmy gets another h*** division this time with the Minnesota Vikings. While Jettas will be true to form under Wimmy, the offense around Kirk will be tough to manage.
Keraun, Texans – Coming off a dominant cycle with one of PMLs all time great QBs, Ke now has CJ Stroud at the helm. That division also has Tbandit CB and Dllyod who all look to bounce back from last cycle
Que, Cardinals – Que built one of PMLs more dangerous teams in Miami last cycle, but now he has a serious challenge in Arizona. With Kylers future up in the air, Que may end up losing early before he can mold this roster.
