It’s August, so you know what that means — it’s time for Yahoo Sports’ annual “Madden” simulation. This is the seventh year in a row we are running an entire season through EA Sports’ popular football simulation video game, which was released this week.

Last year, Charles McDonald and Anthony Sulla-Heffinger’s simulated seasons produced a mixed bag of results. Madden accurately predicted a strong rookie season from Texans QB C.J.

McDonald: The Ravens and 49ers also made the Super Bowl in my league, with the Ravens winning a 23-17 barnburner in overtime. Marlon Humphrey was given Super Bowl MVP with a game-winning pick-6 that cemented him into Madden lore.

More likely to happen: Madden clearly believes in the Ravens, but we’ll go with the closer Super Bowl score of Charles’ sim
