Madden 23: Our Week 3, 2022 NFL simulation results
What a crazy start to the 2022-23 NFL season. We’re only two full weeks in and already there have been a ton of surprises. The Giants and Eagles both 2-0? The Bengals 0-2? These are things I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted this — well, maybe Madden.
After compiling an 8-7 record in Week 1, Madden rebounded in a big way. Our simulations of Madden 23 correctly predicted 10 of the 15 games played on Sunday and Monday. And yes, it even correctly predicted the Cowboys to beat the Bengals with Cooper Rush in Week 2.
Let’s see how this week plays out according to Madden 23.
