1. Ponchy, Realest and Nedley

Putting Realest in the top of both lists doesn’t sound right but to be honest this list comes after they signed up as a line. The return of Ponchy and Realest, especially as a team, should be a dominant performance. Ponchy and Realest being at the top of their respective positions is a tandem not many seen coming. You throw in Logic and this line is damn near perfect. Both Realest and Logic are phenomenal defensive players. Ponchy has set the meta with the Cards PB. Ponchy always has great schemes and with teammates like this I only see his offense getting better and better. Look for this team to have a huge price tag on it.

2. Hexied, Boxing and Adidas

This line has a lot of depth on both sides. Hex being a solid schemer and passer. Boxing has perfected the DB Fire Meta. They will be mad that they aren’t #1 but until I see Hex with no XF QB, that won’t change. I know Ponchy has used them before which is why I ranked them higher. Hex and Boxing are solid users with a great mind for adjusting mid game. As for their teammate Reebok, I haven’t seen him play so I don’t really have a lot of insight on him. MUT players are always hip with the Meta. I anticipate he will be a great player because I know Hex wouldn’t play with shitters. My expectations for Reebok are set pretty high. Expect this team to be a tough team to go against this season.

3. Champ, Farah and Accountant

Champ and Farah have always played together. They have always been successful together. Champ has a high powered offense with a phenomenal free-form back shoulder scheme. Its really tough to stop. Farah is a solid defensive playcaller and receiver. Their chemistry is unmatched in this league. Then you throw in quite possibly the best DL currently in the league, Accountant, and this line looks scary. Accountant is a beast on the DL. Getting hella pressure with 4 down line nobodies. I remember an in house we played where he sacked me like 6 times with 76 OVR Jaelen Phillips. Offensively he doesn’t show up much but he definitely makes up for it on the defensive side. Champ and Farah were favorites to win the SB with Hex last season. Unforeseen circumstances cut that run short. I expect them to be in contention wherever they land this season.

4. Hucci, Nate and Trey

Being unbiased about my line is going to be kind of tough but Ill try though. Me and Nate go way back and we have known each other for years. Some of my most fun nights ever playing Madden were with Nate and Chino. While we were opposition in the SB we have always been good friends. Which is what brought this line together. The SB was bittersweet for me because we robbed Nate (he robbed me in a CFM SB so we are even). While Trey and I minced words before the games, it was all in the competitive spirit. With me, you get a 3 time B2B2B SB winning player. I just went through the no QB ability nightmare in Philly. So I got more reps than most with no XF QB. Nate who has perfected the DB Fire Meta as well and is a formidable RB/DL. Nate led the league in sacks like 2-3 seasons ago. He’s a good runner and receiver out of the backfield. Just a really balanced player. Did I mention he has 2 SB rings? Then we roll on to our 3^rd, Trey. Trey made and impact at receiver last season, destroying man coverage on his way to the SB. On defense his user is up to par with some of the better players in this league. Trey hypes the discord up with taunting and calling people out but he always backs it up. This line has the potential to be a dominant line. I look forward to making a run to the playoffs this season.

5. Lucky, Jacc and MidnightxYork

Love him or hate him, Lucky is going to be tough competition in any game he plays. Despite all the hate Lucky is a great QB. His scheme isn’t all that complex but his ability to make the right read quickly is the difference.  In my opinion he probably goes through his progressions and makes a read quicker than anyone in this league. Also he isn’t afraid to call out top lines. Comp doesn’t scare him. Had the VBA ownership fumble not happen, Lucky could’ve went to the SB. Jacc is a consistent player. Him and Lucky get along well so I’m sure they have already started cooking up shit together. I’m not sure about Jacc as a defensive play caller. I haven’t watched many of his games. So I guess ill get to see it as it happens this season. I expect Lucky and him to work on the strategies together. As for their 3^rd. I haven’t played with him in quite awhile but the first thing that comes to my mind about York is (Great fkn Teammate). I remember playing with him and he was always vocal and communicated. Sometimes keeping the energy and the hype up is what you need to push your team through diversity. York delivers that. This line has potential with Lucky at the helm.  I look forward to seeing how well they do this season.

6. The AP Line

The AP line have been flying under the radar for quite a few seasons now. I don’t get how because they have been giving people hell game after hell game for quite a while. These guys are a tough matchup for anyone. When I first got back into this league the AP line was viewed as a “stat game”. I guess they finally hit their flow state and got their chemistry going because now they are a hell line to play. These guys have stuck to their guns. Always just teaming up with each other no matter how bad it got. Finally, their chemistry, gameplan and skill have moved them into the next tier of competition. Any team landing the AP line will benefit from it. They have used a lot of shit teams and still done well so this line would be an excellent addition to any team.

7. UserB, Aries and Redwater

Tote the rock and play defense is the advertisement for this line.  Aries being the highlight of this team. UserB is a solid QB when it comes to game management. He controls the ball and has a good running scheme. He can make the throws when he needs to but don’t look for him to light up the scoreboard passing. He’s a great game manager. Having Redwater in the backfield will help him with that. Redwater is a great option at RB. Easily in the top 6 for backs in the league. I know with UserB’s scheme Redwater will be featured heavy.  My only question mark for Redwater is why did he switch off DL? He’s a great back but I honestly think he is an even better DL. As for Aries, there isn’t much that needs to be said. Aries is a baller and led the league in INTS the season before last. While he skipped a season I don’t expect any less from him this season. He has a tough defense and will be a tough go for any team on the opposition.

8. Wicked, Johnny and Greedy

These guys signed up and are trying to fly under the radar. I don’t know much about Greedy but Johnny and Wicked are fkn ballers. Also another team coming from the MUT streets. They are hip with the meta on both sides of the ball and can counter most of it I’m sure. I have known these guys for years. Ive played with and against them a lot. Not only are they great players, they are great dudes as well. I look forward to seeing what they bring to the table this season. Any team would be fortunate to snag these fellas

1. Realest

There will be a lot of hate on putting a DC in the top 5. I don’t care, Realest is the best DC in the league. Only person in my opinion that rivals Realest in defensive acumen is Mo. Between them two and everyone else, its not even close. I expect Realest to come back tougher than ever. Without a doubt whatever team he lands on will be playoff bound. He will bring top caliber defensive play to whichever team is lucky enough to land him.

2. Woohdy

The reigning MVP is bound to get a lot of work this season. I said this multiple seasons ago and I stand by it, Woohdy is the best back in the league. Period. I feel like Willy is in that conversation. There are some really really good ones out there. But the performance Woohdy put up last season was by far the best in probably league history (don’t fact check me). Majority of the teams this season wont have a velocity ability so look for a lot of people to tote the rock. All that does for Woohdys value is shoot it to the moon. While sometimes he is toxic to play with his skills are worthy of spending the bank on.

3. Koolaidz

Making these list are pretty tough. To me going into bidding the best Qb is Koolaidz. Ive been playing with or against Koolaidz since Madden 11 or 12. From Gamebattles to us in the MUT streets in 18 or 19. I know the caliber of player you get with Koolaidz. I’ve played with Koolaidz in in-houses while using shit teams. Regardless of the abilities, he always finds a way to score. That is the difference maker in me putting him here over say JamesSmith. James is good…. but without highballs and velocity abilities, is he? Nobody knows. Plus he didn’t sign up. Ill stick to my guns with going with Koolaidz as the best solo QB in bidding.

4. TMO

In my opinion Mo and Realest are neck and neck for the best DCs in the league. This season will be a defensive driven season. With the velocity abilties going away for the most part, I anticipate teams will gravitate towards toting the rock. The best solution to that kind of offense is shut down defense. Mo always has a lock down defense. He adjust when he needs to and always watches game film to prepare for matchups. Mo should be a top bid for any team looking to bag shit up.

5. Willy

You want the best of both worlds in one player. Take Willy. He’s a beast with the ball in his hands on O. He can turn what should be a negative run into positive yardage very frequently. On O he’s good but on defense he’s even better. Mastering the moves on the line and always making Qbs account for him. Willy is the best all around RB/DL in bidding. Whichever team lands him is getting a helluva player.

6. Logic

While Logic didn’t play last season. He’s a baller on both sides of the ball. His football IQ is very high. He can run the meta with the best of em. He adjust on the fly and is always hip on new ways to get pressure on the Qb. Always changing up the pressure looks and coverage shells. His adjustments alone put him in the conversation for top bidding prospects.

7. Northzide

North is in HOF consideration. Do I really need to say more? While his DLine play hasn’t been quite up to what we are accustomed to seeing, North will always be a factor in games. My first season back in the league, North and Kuhrow tore me up in back to back games. Ive seen the terror that he can deliver on the line. Maybe we will see that again. Also with no qbs really having abilities, why not bid on the all time leading rusher in the league?  Not only was he a phenomenal pass rusher but he was also a stud RB. I expect teams to invest heavy in North. Hes a great runner and with the qb situations those might be highly valued.

8. Drock

Drock’s stats never really reflect his play. I don’t understand it. On the field with in houses he always plays hella good but during seasons its like he’s nonexistent. Idk maybe its his former teammates, maybe its because he talks really fast and is hard to understand?  Idk I feel like if Drock slowed his pace by a notch he would be killing it in the regular season. These are all opinions. Idk. I still rank Drock as a top 5 QB in the bidding because I have seen him light up scoreboards.

9. Fear Painkiller

Fear plays well on both sides of the ball. A season ago he was in MVP consideration. Chubb can make anyone great but he still had to user control those plays. Fear is a good player and would be a good addition to any team with a good rb.

10. Unglued Tiger

Rumblings over the last few seasons is that Tiger is toxic af. Maybe that’s to keep the price down? Idk. I do know that he has put up solid numbers. In a league where QBs will be kind of handicapped this season, having a great runner out of the backfield is key. Toxic or not. Tiger has a lot of value at the RB position.

Congratulations to the Season 8 Philly Eagles

Welcome back to week two of the Playoff Line Power Rankings! There was a ton of shakeup after last week, so I’m hogcrazy to get back into these rankings after those wacky games. I liked the response to last week’s article so much that I’m going to be keeping things the same and staying anonymous. So sit back, sip on some red water, and start posting your complaints about me in general chat so everyone can read them instead of just Rev. Thank you!

1 – IR x Brady, ChildxxPleasex, MrTookYoShi

While the league was collectively melting down over the week, Brady stayed out of the drama outside of one 15 minute stretch on Wednesday. Was he grinding out his next game plan for his next opponent (who we now know are the Packers)? Was he resting up to put up more 40-burgers on fools? I don’t know, but the Packers are going to have a tough time winning this series when Brady can get three of those four wins.

2 – TXJamesSmith, RogueApollo, AppleDanish

I’ll admit, I thought there was a chance that TXJames would get washed by the Chiefs, but he handily eliminated any thought of that. He didn’t have amazing stats with Justin Herbert, so there’s still a question or two about his offense, but TXJames is going to be a big obstacle for any other line in these playoffs.

3 – Ebok, Crazy Effects, Gabe

Went 3-0 with bum Jalen Hurts. It must suck to be as good at Madden as Ebok is. I bet he’s a great writer too.

4 –  IamBeAsTe, BeefyChub, ClutchKing

Beaste had the pleasure of sitting back, smoking a cigar and watching the league meltdown from his owner’s box (which every owner gets as part of their contracts with Primetime Leagues). Everything I said here last week still stands. Beaste is a beast, but I hope he spent this week off figuring out how to beat DB Fire 2.

5 – Hucci, Tmo, Willy

This line went 1-1 against Lucky’s line, while a 2-0 week would have been amazing for them. The Eagles absolutely need Hucci’s line to step up against the Chargers. The Eagles look like they’re two-lines deep, you know Ebok is going to deliver but I’m less sure about Hucci. If Ebok wants any chance of three-peating, he needs Hucci to step up in a big way in the rest of these playoffs.

6 – RCV20, Trey Demonz, NateCashMoney

The surprise line of the week, they went 2-0 against the Browns (before a 4th down violation took away a score and a win) and they look setup to continue that success in the semifinals. I’m still watching these guys to see what they can do, but I’m a believer.

7 – FIG, Smitty, Carnage

FIG is coming off a rough week, and I’m not sure they’re the Packers first line anymore. FIG kinda got exposed at QB, but he was able to still pull out a win to end up at 1-1. I still think this line has the ability to win games, but with Rytzo playing well I’m not even sure if FIG will even be the Packers 2nd line QB next week.

8 – AP Boys

They took the Chargers’ worst loss against the Chiefs, but I still believe in the AP Boys. They still have time to elevate their offensive and defensive games, but I think we need to see them start to air it out more often using the left bumper button. #LetHerbertCook.

9 –  Rytzo, RigsTime, GunTight

These boys have been playing good Madden. They went 1-1 against the Browns last week, and that’s not an easy thing to do. These guys are a huge advantage for the Packers as they can matchup with any other 3rd line and maybe even some second or first lines as well. I’m pretty sure they beat UserB’s line and I had them ranked in the top-10 last week, so this line could be setup to make some noise the rest of the way.

10 –  Remix o2, Dizzel50, JohnnyWheels

Remix pulled a game out against the Chiefs last week, but his games were not without controversy. I don’t like seeing forfeits at any point in the season and especially not in playoffs. I thought the league should have organized a replay for this line’s game against the Chiefs.

11 – Breesuss, Kuhrow, AceBoogs

Breessus played decently well against the Bengals last week(#WheresPlayoffSac?), but this line is still a major liability on the Eagles. What kind of pictures does Breessus have on Ebok and why isn’t he sharing them with the rest of the league????

12 – Explikcit, Kwam34MVP, CallMeeKyle

This line is still a major question mark. Explikcit is, by far, the least experienced QB left in the playoffs and there is questionable help on his line. This line winning any games for the Bucs would be a huge bonus for them, but the odds are stacked against these guys.

1 – IR x Brady, xxChildxPlease, MrTookYoShi (10-2) Bucs

Brady, on Brady, has been pretty much unstoppable. He has the best QB stats in the league and would probably win MVP comfortably in any other year. Add on the fact that ChildPlease is legitimately a top-5 user DL skill wise, and you have a very good line. One anonymous owner said: “Brady is probably the best QB in the league now that Abyss retired”. He might have to answer for the 29 point flooding he took from an Eagles line that appears shortly, but Brady will be favored to win in essentially every game in this playoffs.

2 – Hexied, SBG Boxing, WRNZO (7-2) Chiefs

Hexied is the most nuanced and most creative QB in the league. He has a plan of attack for every game, along with counters for defenses that think they can stop his first set of plays. There is a question with his availability, he has already missed a week because of suspension this season, which is the only reason this line isn’t #1.

3 – Ebok, Crazy Effects, Gabe (8-4) Eagles

Ebok is an elite QB and, on a team that has a QB with velocity abilities, he is a top-2 QB and he’s not 2. There are questions with the rest of the line, but Ebok is elite on both sides of the ball. Jalen Hurts is trash, though, and Gabe isn’t very refined at DC, so it’s on Ebok to win every game he plays these playoffs.

4 –  TXJamesSmith, AppleDanish, RogueApollo (12-0) Chargers

James, Apollo and Danish went 12-0 with elite numbers this season and there will likely be at least two pro bowlers/players of the year on this line. There are also huge strength of schedule concerns. One GM said: “James line is probably going to be at a disadvantage. They went 11-0 against the Dolphins, Packers, Bengals and Cowboys during the season, now they have to play the Chiefs in round one.”

5 –  IAmBeaste, BeefyChub, ClutchKing (9-3) Bucs

Elite QB with an elite offense. They should be good enough to win games through pure offense, but there are questions. Beaste struggled in numerous games at the end of the season playing against DB Fire 2, and he’s going to see a lot of that in these playoffs.

6 – Champ, Farah, Tiger (7-3) Chiefs

Champ is an elite QB. Farah is an elite WR, LB and DC. Tiger is an elite RB. This is one of the deepest lines in the league 1-3 and arguably the most talented line in the league, but this is also Champ and Farah in the playoffs so all bets are off.

7 – Hucci, Tmo, Willy (9-3) Eagles

I was told numerous times this season that “Hucci is struggling at QB”. If 9-3 is struggling, then I want to struggle too. Hucci is a great QB and he has two of the best skill players in the league on his line.

8 – UserBFlawless, Redwater, Brisket (8-4) Browns

People are going to call UserB biased for this, but I am not UserB and he had no effect on this ranking. UserB’s line is above TP and Woohdy’s line simply because the Browns’ playoffs chances are going to come down to the QB’s ability to win the game with Deshaun Watson. Teams are going to sell out to stop Chubb, and I have some faith that UserB is going to be able to throw the ball effectively when that happens. This line is also the deepest with Redwater and Brisket alongside UserB.

9 – TPBraves, Woohdy, Accountant (9-3) Browns

This line runs through Woohdy, and almost to a fault. Accountant is playing off-position at WR, and TP didn’t have much of a passing game outside of “quick cheese because they think we’re running”, according to one owner,  this season. The week 4 loss against Brady and the Bucs drops this line significantly in these rankings. The Browns lost the game 26-14 and TP went 0-4 with an interception.

10 – FIG, Smitty, Carnage (7-4) Packers

FIG is the breakout QB of this season, in my opinion. He’s shown himself to have a good, consistent offense that can win VFL games and Smitty is a great DL user. There are some questions about Carnage at DC, “he calls a lot of base cover 3” according to one GM, but FIG might be good enough to win anyway.

11 – LuckyDabs, F34r Painkiller, Jacc (5-6) Bengals

The jury will always be out on Lucky at QB, but F34r and Jacc are showing themselves as elite supporting pieces. F34r’s defense played very well against Koolaidz (whose line would be in the top-5 if the Bills were in) and Jacc is quickly becoming one of the most underrated WR/LBs in the league.

12 – AP Boys (8-4) Chargers

It’s a testament to the depth of this league that the 8-4 AP boys are the 12th ranked line. They played really well on the Cowboys, but they’ve never been ones to abuse the high bullet and you need to abuse the high bullet on the Chargers. If they can show themselves to be able to use the high bullet effectively, this could become the best line on the Chargers.

13 –  RCV20, Trey Demonz, NateCashMoney (4-0) Packers

This is probably the most interesting line in the league. They are 4-0 since RCV took over at QB. That 4-0 includes two big wins against the Browns, who they will be playing against in Round 1. Trey was 0-4 before RCV joined the line, so there are still some questions on this line.

14 – Sacrifice, Northzide, dfeetu (5-7) Bengals

Is Playoff Sac going to show himself this year? If Playoff Sac shows up, this line is set up to do work in the playoffs. If the Sac from weeks 1 and 2 shows up, the only work this line will be doing is packing for Cancun.

15 – Kxng x KIay, Paid Dough, Try LUV (5-6) Chiefs

The top ranked 3rd line in the league. Neither the offense or defense are refined, but they’re good enough to beat any other 3rd line in the league. That’s a HUGE bonus for the Chiefs, who can throw this line out against any team and have a chance at winning.

16 – Rytzo, RigsTime, GunTight (5-6) Packers

This line was on its way to being the league joke before Rytzo became a pretty good QB in weeks 3 and 4, including a game against Ebok’s line where Rytzo finished 18-22, with 231 yards, 3 tds and only 1 int. There was still a very bad game against the AP boys mixed in with his good weeks 3 & 4, but I think these guys have a chance to do something in the playoffs.

17 – Hiigh, IbProFam, T1Anime (6-6) Browns

This line shouldn’t be ranked this low, but there are major questions about this line. IbPro has a relatively poor 7.4 YPC with Nick Chubb, and Hiigh probably has not played enough QB in this Madden after not playing QB in seasons 6 and 7.

18-21 Remix o2, Dizzel50, JohnnyWheels (4-8) Chargers. Breesuss, Kuhrow, AceBoogs (4-8). Beachmode, CriticalTelos, RedHour (3-9). Explikcit, Kwam34MVP, CallMeeKyle (?-?).

Putting these lines together because I think they are all pretty similar. All four of these QBs are pretty inexperienced at the position, and there isn’t enough support on their lines to make up for that inexperience. Johnny is a good DC, but his DB fire 2 is pretty basic. Kuhrow and CriticalTelos are good players, but they’re probably being asked to do too much on their lines. Beachmode had some pretty good games at QB after he switched, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled out a win in the playoffs.

With the first ever VFL play in game right around the corner, I wanted to take a look at who could potentially be in this game!

As I’m writing this the bills are in 7th with the Bengals one game behind them! Bengals play the buccaneers and the browns tonight, both could be losses for the Bengals.

While the bills already played their scheduled game against the browns and lost earlier this week, they also have the dolphins tonight who forfeited both their games yesterday. And could do the same tonight.

Packers are one game ahead of the bills and have the tiebreakers they play the chiefs and the dolphins so their playoff spot is looking pretty safe to me.

The play in game will be one game between the aforementioned seeds, one game, top line vs top line winner plays on, loser watches. This had been discussed for a majority of the season and a few players had mentioned their interest in this style of game! So with an owners vote staff decided to do a play in game. The owners of each team have until noon at Sunday to get the game in, however if a time is not decided before Thursday at 9 that is the defaulted game time! Let’s jump into the potential matchup

If I had to guess it will be “clamped by lucky” (6-5) on the season vs koolaids (10-2) this will probably be a solid matchup lucky seems to always make the playoffs no matter how his team starts. This season will be on his shoulders with the help of fear painkiller the self proclaimed “greatest RB of all time” this has been a solid duo since the trades happened to bring him to cincy, on the other side the bills will definitely throw koolaids , sixth mallard, and potential rookie of the year porkside. These guys as a line are now 9-0 together.

From my point of view, with the Bengals losing joe mixons abilities and the bills catching a load of steam as of late. I think the bills will beat the Bengals out of the playoffs and move forward!

Cowboys

We got the Cowboys next. Led by MrOhio and BloodyPStain. Ohio is a veteran owner who knows how to manage a team. I just got two questions for management. Why the Cowboys? Dak is trash and hard to use because of his windup. Also why leave so much money on the table. Being a veteran owner I’m sure Ohio has good reasoning. Leaving 26 mill on the table just seems like you short changed yourself. I’ve never been an owner so I don’t know the motive behind it. Anyways Ohio has assembled an ok roster over there in Dallas. Ohio himself has 61 career sacks in 5 seasons which is pretty good for a DL. However this season he is switching to DB which he has no stats for so I’m assuming he hasn’t played a season at the position. Ohio is always a good runner. Not astronomical stats but he will get the job done when set up with good runs. He went 4-4 last season but only amassed 183 yards on the ground. Idk if that was because of FFs or what. I expect more yardage from him this season. On to his GM, Bloody. Honestly I’m gonna be biased when talking about Bloody. Since being in the VFL through 5-6 seasons, Bloody is still one of my favorite teammates I’ve had. As my teammate he was always looking to play, wasn’t scared to challenge himself at different positions, was open to learn new defenses, helped me lab late into the night and he even practiced adjustments after i suggested it. Super easy guy to get along with and great personality. Not only is he a great teammate he is a solid player as well. In 5 seasons Bloody has 3800 rec yards, 38 TDS and 46 sacks. Not astronomical numbers but with his willingness to learn, he could double that with the right supporting cast behind him. He will be a good GM because of his attitude. Next up we got DRock at QB for 9 mil. Drock always has a unique scheme that hinges on fast paced offense and a lot of quick snaps. Drock posted a 7W-5L record last season with 1500 yards and 13TDs – 13INTS. Not the best ratio passing wise but a good record nonetheless. Through 4 seasons at QB Drock has always had around the same ratio. At 9mil he is a good pickup since they needed a QB. The next QB is Sir Bottomis. I’ve never watched Bottomis play but i know before this season he had played with the same group for quite a while. Was that holding him back? Not creating a narrative but maybe we will see better numbers out of him this season. Because in 4 seasons at QB he really hasn’t had a breakout season. Last season he went 5W-5L with 21TDs and 22INTS. With the game change to 23 you got to take those stat lines with a grain of salt. Spending 1 mil to get a 5-5 Qb is a steal in my opinion. Also who knows how close those 5 losses were. Next up we got Swift of the AP boys. Swift didn’t have the best record last season at 5W-7L but ill be honest I watched a lot of their games and they had a chance in 75% of those losses. They were a tough outing for a lot of teams last season. Swift passed for 16TD-12INTS with just under 2000 yards. He also threw 4TDS-0INTS in the playoffs. So it seems like they hit a stride at the end of the season. Utah the AP line WR accounted for 1775 yards of Swifts offense. But he has to get better on the DL only accounting for 1 sack all season. Vermont the RB of the AP line has yet to hit his full stride at RB. He hasn’t eclipsed 600 yards in a season yet. I expect to see substantially better numbers from the AP line. They hit some late momentum and I think it will carry over. They get better every season according to the stats. As for the rest of the team Doc and ProjectAutoBaby. I don’t know much about either. I have played with Doc and he is pretty solid. Maybe Ohio has some gems here. Overall this team is decent. I still question leaving the money on the table. The Cowboys have some solid lines with Drock and the AP Line. I expect them to be around .500 but I honestly hope they prove me wrong by doing even better.

Chargers

Just like with my last article I am going to be a bit bias. Chargers have JohnnyWheels as an Owner. Johnny is a good advocate for this league. Johnny is a great personality and keeps the games fun even if your not winning. Wholesome guy and great teammate. As for his GM Gmen he is a sponge in this league. Learning all he can from other Qbs. We need more of that in this league. He posted 11TD-11INT last season. While he didn’t get much in the win category. I’m sure the stats don’t tell the full story of the games. I expect him to do much better this season. Especially with Johnny stealing the Chargers at 12.5. Boy what a steal that was. I don’t understand how he got them so low. Maybe people weren’t paying attention during the bidding idk. So not only did Johnny get the Chargers but he also got the season 7 league MVP. TxJamesSmithTx. TxJames posted 30TDs-7INTS with an 11W-1L record. A phenomenal season for a QB in the VFL. I haven’t watched many of his games but I have heard a lot. Some say he is good and some say otherwise. Prior to this past season he is never had a season close to what he did this season. Posting subpar numbers in previous seasons. I guess time will tell if he is a one hit wonder or not. His runningmate and RB, AppleDanish has posted 1400 yards in 2 seasons. Which is a pretty strong showing for a running back. He also has 45 TFLS, 8 Sacks and 11 INTS in 2 Seasons. He is solid on both offense and defense. Next is Rogue Apollo which is the WR/DL of TXJames line. Rogue has some pretty good numbers. Posting 3700 yards and 44 TDs in 2 seasons. Those are well above average numbers for a receiver. This line as a collective is solid and can get you wins with the substantial numbers they put up. Id still like to see this line play tougher lines so they can shake that image that they don’t play good lines. On Johnnys team this should be line 1 and should be getting games against other line 1s. I only go off hearsay cause i never watched them play and this league can be a bit dramatic sometimes. So hopefully they take this as motivation to whip everyone’s ass. As for the rest of the team, there are no stats for most of them. I’ve played against Victis and he is pretty good. That was a good pickup. I know Dizzel plays with GMen and they have chemistry so they can lab and learn together. As for Primetime I have no information on him. Maybe Johnny got a hidden gem. With the MVP I expect the Chargers to be in the playoffs. Johnny had a tough go last season but these bidding moves definitely will bring them closer to contending. As Gmen learns the QB position more and more I anticipate he will account for at least 6 wins this season. I wish the best for Johnny and his Chargers this season and I hope to see them in the playoffs.

The AFL is a very important part of our league! This season The Rev God and staff have agreed to make some changes to make it more sustainable! First, I’d like to take the time to introduce our AFL owners!

1. The Realest (AKA THEVFLGOAT)- realest has been in this league for a long time now, one of the vets if you will, he’s won multiple super bowls and is sitting out this season to focus on helping the league grow both NFL and AFL levels! (WPMOY?)
2. Spacious horse- Spacious is usually a fairly active player, he’s pretty average madden skill wise, but a great guy to be around. Great on the DLine and I would expect him to people to help his guys in the AFL understand the rules and get accustomed to the way things are done here!
3. Sixth mallard- Mallard was the AFL Packers owner last season and did a tremendous job running his team and doing everything in his power to make sure games were played. He had his own discord chat for all the AFL owners to be in so games are properly scheduled and if someone needed a sub he had his active team locked and loaded just so guys were getting stats and field time! Also he is the VFL Bills owner this season! I expect Mallard to train his team up well and keep them active!
4. The Pork side- the Youngblood in the league, Pork just joined recently and has already made a solid name for himself! I’ve been in parties with him and he is super excited for the league and is a sponge for knowledge! Also knows how to play the game at a solid level as well!

Now that we have our owners out there, let’s talk about the biggest change we will see this season with our AFL! If you signed up late you will not be eligible for call up until at least a week has been attempted to be played in the AFL. This promotes activity in the AFL while making sneaky stuff much more difficult! Previously Blacklisted players must play a season in the AFL or sit out an entire season!

Also, another big change with the AFL this season is the teams! Owners select two divisions and can the players can pick from the pool of 8 teams from those divisions. This brings diversity into the teams being used in games and lets people truly show off their user skill instead of just hiding behind the abilities. Plus the ability to use 8 teams will help take away the repetitive nature of using the same few teams!

With these changes going on I see great things in the future of the AFL!

Let’s go ahead and show which owners got what divisions!

Realest- NFC South/ NFC East

Teams: Panthers, Falcons, Bucs, Saints, Cowboys, Commanders, Eagles & Giants

Mallard- AFC North/ AFC South

Teams: Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Steelers, Titans, Jags, Colts & Texans

Spacious- AFC West/ NFC West

Teams: Cardinals, Rams, 49ers Seahawks, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders & Broncos

Pork- NFC North/ AFC East

Teams: Vikings, Packers, Lions, Bears Bills, Jets Patriots & Dolphins

Let’s give it up for these owners and wish them and their teams the best of luck in the upcoming season!
