As of right now, the Dallas Cowboys are among the hottest teams in the NFL. They’re looking to clinch the NFC East with a win against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. In addition, Dallas is a No. 4 seed right now and tied with the No. 5 seed Seattle Seahawks with an 8-5 record. Winning means a lot for this team as they keep their hopes of getting a high playoff seed going.
Meanwhile, the Colts are still among the teams looking into the playoff picture with a chance to grab a spot. The Colts are 7-6 just like the No. 6 seed Baltimore Ravens. The Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans are also 7-6 heading into their games this Sunday. Andrew Luck and company could still get into the postseason.
The USA Today Cowboys Wire continue to run simulations for each game this season for the beloved Dallas franchise. Ahead of Sunday’s big game, they have given one of the NFL Week 15 predictions that suggest the Cowboys will clinch the NFC East with a 30-24 victory.
Their simulation shows a quiet performance for Amari Cooper who had a recent Madden 19 ratings boost. Cooper gets just one catch for 65 yards, per the simulation. However, Ezekiel Elliott has 124 yards and touchdown (25 carries), while Dak Prescott completes 18-of-21 passes for 242 yards and two TDs. Expect a lot of social media posts celebrating the Cowboys should they achieve what the simulation says.
NFL Week 15 Predictions: Patriots vs. Steelers Madden 19 simulation
This battle of AFC teams features two squads coming off tough losses last Sunday. For New England, it was the Miami miracle finish with multiple laterals and a game-winning touchdown with no time left. For the Steelers, it was a crushing defeat at the hands of the Oakland Raiders, a team overachieving when they don’t need to anymore.
Heading into the game, the Steelers have injury woes with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and top running back James Conner. The Madden 19 simulation may actually reflect what will happen if both of these guys are unable to play. It could be a disappointing game for the home team.
A simulation from 247 Sports may surprise NFL fans. They’ve got New England scoring early and often to take a 35-0 lead at the half. While the Steelers score a touchdown in the third quarter, Bill Belichick’s squad adds three more TDs in the final quarter to win it 56-7 in Pittsburgh.
The simulation’s final stats show a total of 560 yards of offense for the Pats with 434 of it coming thanks to Tom Brady’s arm. Meanwhile, the Steelers managed just 204 yards for their own offense and a dismal 38 percent conversion rate on third downs. A YouTube simulation below tells a different story for the game, although it’s still a Pats’ victory with snow on the ground.
Will these two pivotal games be decided in the favor of the Cowboys and Patriots? Sunday will tell the true story. Get more of the latest news about the popular football game at the VGR Madden 19 page here.
