With the 2022 NFL season right around the corner, the time for final predictions is rapidly approaching. 

Luckily, the annual Madden simulation from Yahoo Sports gives a unique glimpse at how the upcoming campaign might play out.

For the fifth year in a row, Yahoo Sports simulated the entire NFL season with the popular video game’s latest edition, Madden NFL 23. While the exercise may be a sign of things to come, it also produced a few head-turning results.

To begin, the simulation’s predicted division winners were the Jets, Browns, Colts, Chiefs, Cowboys, Packers, Buccaneers and Cardinals. The Titans, Ravens, Bills, Saints, Panthers and Eagles rounded out the 14-team playoff field.
