With #Madden20 releasing all of their team overalls, I thought it felt appropriate to do my over/under for each team. I am taking a look at their current overall that was released and comparing with my thoughts at the end of the year.
32. #MiamiDolphins 74
Under - 73. Im excited to see Josh Rosen lead the way for the Dolphins, but I don’t think he has enough talent to help the essential rookie. I think they’ll take a slight step back by the end of the year.
31. #NewYorkGiants - 77
Under - 74. Saqon cant do it all. Eli is at the end of his tenure and the teams lacks luster. They’re going to drop for sure.
30. #BuffaloBills - 78
Under - 76. I don’t hate the Bills but I’m also not holding my breath for a great year. I don’t see Allen taking the jump that they expect and they’ll end lower at the end of the year.
29. #TampaBayBuccaneers - 78
Under - 74. Nothing excites me here. I like Evans and Howard, that’s it. They‘re lucky that Madden was nice to them to begin with.
28. #ArizonaCardinals - 78
Even. I like this spot. I think Murray is going to play well but not great enough to boost them up higher than this.
27. #NewYorkJets - 78
Over - 79. They are going to surprise some teams this year. Darnold has talent and they added some pieces. Look for a small jump.
26. #JacksonvilleJaguars - 79
Over - 80. Nick Foles is going to bring some added sizzle but not enough sauce to get them higher than a notch up.
25. #CincinnatiBengals - 80
Under - 77. 80? For what reason? Crazy. They’ll drop into the 70’s.
24. #DetroitLions - 80
Even. Solid spot for an average team. The Patriots of the Midwest are going to have to wait a while before we see significant gains.
23. #OaklandRaiders - 80
Over - 81. could easily go the other direction, but if Carr can pull his shit together and get the ball to AB, they’ll make some gains.
22. #DenverBroncos - 81
Under - 79. Flac-attack just isn’t enough to keep them in the 80’s all year.
21. #BaltimoreRavens - 81
Over - 82. Their running back who doubles as a QB is going to surprise people. Small step in the right direction.
20. #SeattleSeahawks - 81
Over - 84. ‘What’s up Seattle’ (Russell Wilson voice). Not enough respect for a team that has been in it every year. Notch up for them.
19. #TennesseeTitans - 81
Even. Solid spot for them. They won’t make the playoffs but they won’t have a top draft pick next year. Cheers to 81.
18. #SanFrancisco49ers - 83
Under - 82. Jimmy G is going to be back, they have good weapons, they’ll be fun to use but not a top 5 team.
17. #ClevelandBrowns - 83
Over - 86. If they really mesh and live up to expectations, watch this go higher. 86 looks like a floor.
16. #WashingtonRedskins - 83
Under - 80. Not sure if the ratings adjuster was high but the redskins higher than Seattle is ridiculous.
15. #HoustonTexans - 83
Over - 85. You don’t get a 99 player and not be higher than this at the end of the year.
14. #MinnesotaVikings - 83
Over - 89. I want to go higher but the ratings adjuster gives no love to my Vikings. #Skol
13. #ChicagoBears - 84
Over - 87. They’re going to struggle more this year but not that bad, they’ll round out at 87.
12. #KansasCityChiefs - 84
Over - 90. I don’t see how they don’t get 90. I want to say a little higher but don’t think they’ll quite reach it this year.
11. #CarolinaPanthers - 84
Over - 85. Cam, McCaffery, Moore, Olsen. Dynamic offense with multiple weapons, worth running a franchise with them. 85 sounds right.
10. #PittsburgSteelers - 84
Even. I don’t think they’ll be the same
team they‘ve been over the last 5-10 years. Not as many offensive playmakers. Their rating stays the same.
9. #LAChargers - 85
Over - 88. Last year I don’t see as a fluke. Solid defense, weapons on offense, 88.
8. #LARams - 85
Over - 89. Sams thing as charger. All around playmakers. 85 is just a slap in the face.
7. #IndianapolisColts - 86
Over - 89. They’re one of the best teams in the NFL. They will be high 80’s as a floor.
6. #AtlantaFalcons - 86
Over - 87. I like them here.
5. #GreenBayPackers - 87
Under -83. Really? Higher than the Colts, Chargers, Rams? Same caliber as the Patriots and Saints. C’mon now.
4. #NewEnglandPatriots - 87
Over - 93. Classic, Patriots as the underdog. That always ends well.
3. #NewOrleansSaints - 87
Over - 92. Can’t stand them, but they’re good. Low 90’s.
2. #DallasCowboys - 88
Under - 86. Man the Boys at 2, that’s bold. I could see 88 as a ceiling.
1. #PhiladelphiaEagles - 89
Under - 88. They have talent, but I don’t see them meshing well. If Wentz is off, they go even lower.
The ratings adjuster was hard on this year. Sometimes I can’t tell if they’re going off players overalls on the team or how their regular season will go. I think the best team needs to be in the 90’s. What do y’all think?
Let me know where you think teams will end up at the end of the year on Instagram and Twitter - @OfficialBudHole
