There are many different ways to go about predicting the winner of an NFL game; studying scouting reports, analyzing individual matchups, checking out the NFL lines, those are just a few of the tools experts use to make their predictions. Those are all fine methods, but I prefer a more modern way, playing the match-up on Madden 2010 and seeing who comes out on top. Here is this week’s game prediction:
Jaguars Steamroll Chiefs 32-13
The Chiefs actually jumped out to an early 7-0 lead thanks to the passing of Matt Cassel, but it was all Jaguars after that as they decimated the Chiefs 32-13.
Maurice Jones-Drew had another great game for Jacksonville, rushing for 82 yards and two touchdowns while David Garrard distributed the ball to seven different receivers to keep the Kansas City secondary off balance.
The Jacksonville defense also stepped up big-time, sacking Cassel for two safeties in the fourth quarter.
