Come hang out with us for our LIVE Detroit Lions vs. Cincinnati Bengals Madden 26 simulation preview this Saturday at 10 a.m. ET!
Our 2025 Detroit Lions Madden simulations have been performing far better than in previous years. In last season’s virtual campaign, the Lions finished with a rough 7-10 record, while the real-life Lions dominated at 15-2.
This year feels like a completely new story. The digital Lions currently sit at 2-2, but what’s caught everyone’s attention is how shockingly accurate the Madden predictions have been so far.
Here’s a quick recap of how the season has gone:
Week 1: at Packers
Week 2: vs. Bears
Week 3: at Ravens
Week 4: vs. Browns
In that Week 4 matchup, Madden called it nearly perfectly — Madden score: 33-3 Lions; Actual score: 34-10 Lions. That’s about as close as it gets, and it might mean the simulator’s algorithm is finally dialing in.
So, is Madden really catching up to reality? Let’s find out together. Join us live on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. ET as we run the Lions-Bengals matchup and react to every play in real time. I’ll be commentating throughout the game and answering questions in the chat — whether you’re tuning in on YouTube or Twitch. Expect plenty of football talk, maybe a few side chats about food, but definitely no discussions about making my bed — consider yourself warned!
