The division with maybe the best starting rosters comes in last place on this list. Jac has found himself in some very favorable divisions the past two cycles and has taken advantage of it. Deebo had an up and down first season that found him on the outside of the playoffs. Matigy seems to only want to run the ball even though he has Davante Adams and Darren Waller. And we all know who HD is.
7. AFC East
Another division with a lot of talent on the rosters, I expect this division to perform much better than last year. Though the Bills aren’t as good of a roster in madden as they are in real life, they are still a good team with a good user who should make the playoffs. The Dolphins made a ton of moves in the offseason and coach Que looks like he wants to make a statement this season after a disappointing season 1. The Jets have a talented young defense, but now all the pressure is on Zach Wilson to perform with an improving receiving core. The Patriots had plenty of draft capital, but the offensive roster still appears fairly anemic, and I don’t expect their coach to be able to put up points without offensive talent.
6. AFC South
A division with plenty of questions, the AFC south has the reigning 1st seed, 2 new coaches, and a past cycle playoff contender looking to rebound. Hypemike and the Jaguars can be expected to win this division again, but this team may be a way to find out if QB or WR matters more in this madden, as they made some very interesting moves in the offseason. Another team making noise this offseason was the Houston Texans, sending nearly all of their draft capital to improve the roster now. There is no denying the talent on this roster, but now it is up to Jameis Winston and Drama to put it together on the field. The Colts sent their franchise player Jonathan Taylor out of town in an attempt to fill out the rest of the roster. Adding weapons and defense, the roster is more well rounded but do they have a QB that can take advantage? Bubba and the Titans will look to bounce back after a disappointing season 1 and the 2 main questions are can Malik Willis be a franchise QB, and can Bijan Robinson replace King Henry?
5. NFC South
The Super Bowl champion and 3 other guys. Codes and the Bucs will look to repeat after maintaining a strong roster. The Saints roster may be on the downswing as they finally have to pay the price for all of their salary cap manipulation, their hopes rely on Bryce Young. The Falcons have their offense set besides QB, with Jonathan Taylor coming in to town the Falcons may be on the rise. The Panthers seem to be playing the long game, drafting unpolished athletics freaks, we may see another bottom dwelling season in Carolina
4.NFC West
The west has 2 likely playoff teams and 2 unlikely playoff teams. The Rams still have a solid roster and after a strong regular season they look poised to remain a top team in the NFC. The Seahawks found their franchise QB and filled a spot that really held them back last season. IF f Stroud is the answer they could find themselves at the top of the conference as well. Dlloyd and Ant both look to be outside of the playoffs again this year, but can still give most users a run for their money.
3. AFC North
If I made this list before last season this may have been a bottom 2 division, but thanks to the Bengals and Ravens they find themselves much higher. The Ravens have a user who plays to their strengths, and this roster will only get better with all of the content points. The Bengals have a roster that is strong in most important positions, and Cammy seems to have taken the next step as a user. The Steelers made some impressive moves in the offseason, but we still have yet to see ARod put it all together. Similar things can be said about the Browns who also have a strong roster, but questions at head coach still remain.
2. NFC North
This division would have likely been #1 if kmac was still here, but now they find themselves in the 2 spot. 3 teams that will be fighting for playoff spots, and a Detroit team with plenty of weapons to find themselves improving. The Packers will be expected to be a top team in the NFC once again. The Vikings made the playoffs last season and should be a strong contender to be there once again, especially if they have found a young franchise QB. The Bears were on the cusp of the playoff last season and have made some key offensive additions around Justin Fields. The Lions have one of the better receiving corps in the league, but who knows if Baker Mayfield can take advantage of that.
1. NFC East
The Giants have already made the playoffs, and as they keep putting content in to their team they will be a force in the NFC. The Commanders were one win away from the super bowl a season ago, and with Sam Howell continuing to improve they have a great chance to make noise in the playoffs again. The Cowboys and Eagles both have strong rosters and I could see both making the playoffs if they can get on a run. Wumbo may be the best 4th place division user. p
