NFL Week 13 Predictions According to Madden 26

Okay, so I’m really curious to see what Madden 26 thinks will happen in Week 13 of the NFL! Last week, the game actually did pretty well, predicting 9 out of 14 games correctly. If you add that to its previous predictions, Madden’s now right on 116 games out of 178 since the start of the season. It’s been surprisingly accurate! I’m excited to see if it can keep up the good work – let’s run through all the games on Madden 26 and see what happens this weekend.

Team 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Overtime FINAL
GB 0 7 7 7 3 24
DET 7 7 0 7 0 21

The Packers find a way to sweep the Lions and earn their eighth win of the season.

The Detroit Lions started strong with a 30-yard touchdown run by Jahmyr Gibbs. The Green Bay Packers responded with a touchdown run of their own by Josh Jacobs, tying the game. Before halftime, Detroit regained the lead when Jared Goff connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a touchdown.

The Packers and Lions traded touchdowns in the third quarter. Green Bay first tied the game when Love connected with Romeo Doubs for a 14-yard touchdown. Then, Love threw another touchdown pass, this time to Christian Watson, giving Green Bay the lead. Detroit quickly responded with a touchdown of their own, as Goff found Brock Wright in the end zone.

The game went to overtime after Brandon McManus missed a field goal at the end of regulation, but he then made a 49-yard field goal to take the lead. Detroit had a chance to tie the score, but they couldn’t convert on fourth down, giving Green Bay the win.

Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
KC 7 3 7 7 24
DAL 7 10 3 0 20

The Kansas City Chiefs win their second game in a row as they try to keep their season alive.

Dallas dominated the first half, and a 29-yard touchdown catch by CeeDee Lamb right before halftime put them ahead 17-10. They continued to build their lead in the second half with a fast field goal drive.

The Chiefs quickly responded with two touchdowns after Dallas scored a field goal. The first touchdown brought the score to 20-17, but the second didn’t come until only 49 seconds remained in the game. A completed pass from Mahomes to Juju Smith-Schuster secured a dramatic, last-minute win for the Chiefs.

During the Cowboys’ last attempt to score, they advanced to the Chiefs’ 48-yard line, but couldn’t convert on fourth down, ending the game on Thanksgiving.

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
CIN 7 10 10 7 34
BAL 14 6 10 7 37

The Ravens win in a close shootout against the Bengals on Thanksgiving night.

Joe Burrow looked sharp in his first game back, throwing for four touchdowns despite his team losing. Ja’Marr Chase was a key target, catching two of those touchdowns and finishing with eight receptions for 141 yards. However, the team’s defense couldn’t contain the Ravens, ultimately leading to the defeat.

Both Burrow and Lamar had strong performances, but Lamar Jackson likely had the edge. He scored two touchdowns through the air and one on the ground. A key difference was Jackson’s completion rate of over 71%, compared to Burrow’s 63%. It’s worth noting that Cincinnati spent most of the game behind, which led to them passing the ball more frequently.

Baltimore was ahead 30-27 going into the fourth quarter, but Cincinnati quickly took the lead with another touchdown pass from Burrow to Chase. However, Baltimore responded with a touchdown of their own – a 12-yard pass from Jackson to Andrews – to regain the lead.

Despite a strong performance, Burrow threw a key interception during his last drive. Derrick Henry then finished the game with several powerful runs, including a 16-yard gain to secure the win. This victory marks Baltimore’s sixth consecutive win.

Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
CHI 7 7 7 0 21
PHI 0 10 3 9 22

The Philadelphia Eagles end the Bears’ 4-game win streak with a close win at home.

The Bears started strong, leading 21-10 midway through the third quarter. Despite throwing two interceptions during the game, quarterback Caleb Williams played well, completing three touchdown passes. One key play was a 48-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze late in the second quarter, which helped Chicago build a lead before halftime.

D.J. Moore scored a five-yard touchdown, giving the Bears a seemingly comfortable 21-10 lead. However, the Eagles responded with a field goal just before the third quarter ended, narrowing the gap to 21-13.

Jalen Hurts was struggling during the game, having thrown an interception without scoring any touchdowns himself. Saquon had the team’s only touchdown, but wasn’t having a particularly strong rushing day, averaging only 3.3 yards per carry. Late in the game, Hurts finally connected with DeVonta Smith for a 23-yard touchdown pass. However, their attempt to tie the game with a two-point conversion failed when Hurts couldn’t reach the end zone, leaving Chicago with a lead.

Man, things were looking rough for a second there, but then D’Andre Swift fumbled – thankfully for us Eagles fans! It gave us amazing field position at the 45-yard line. We marched down the field and Jake Elliott kicked the field goal that ended up winning the game. Huge relief!

With only three seconds left, the Bears got all the way to the Eagles’ 41-yard line, but their 58-yard field goal attempt by Cairo Santos was unsuccessful.

San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
SF 7 7 0 10 24
CLE 0 3 0 7 10

The 49ers’ defense continues to lift the team to victory as they stay alive in the NFC West race.

Shedeur Sanders faced a tough challenge in his second start, going up against a strong San Francisco 49ers defense. He completed 18 of his 31 pass attempts for 226 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Brock Purdy also struggled, throwing for two touchdowns but also two interceptions, one of which set up a Browns field goal. Fortunately, the strong performance of the defense prevented this mistake from costing the team the game.

Man, the Niners were looking good! They were up 14-3 going into the fourth, and then stretched it to 17-3 pretty quickly. Shedeur and the Browns tried to fight back with a touchdown, which was awesome, but then McCaffrey just ran it in from three yards out. After that, it felt like the Niners were pretty much on their way to an easy win – they were totally in control!

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
JAX 0 3 10 7 20
TEN 7 3 3 0 13

The Jaguars overcome a 10-0 deficit to prevent an upset from the Titans.

The Titans, led by Cam Ward, had a good start, but it was largely due to luck. A great punt return by Chimere Dike gave the Titans excellent field position at the Jaguars’ 19-yard line, and Ward quickly capitalized, finding Chig Okonkwo for a touchdown in just three plays.

Travis Etienne Jr. lost the ball while the Jaguars were close to scoring in the second quarter, giving the Titans possession and leading to a field goal. However, Jacksonville responded and managed to kick a field goal of their own before halftime.

We came out strong in the third quarter – Trevor Lawrence hit Brenton Strange for a nine-yard touchdown! After that, it was back and forth with field goals, and we ended the quarter tied up with the other team.

Etienne quickly made up for an earlier mistake by running for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. After that, both the Jaguars and Titans tried repeatedly to score, but neither team succeeded. Luckily for Jacksonville, the points they had were enough to secure a win.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
HOU 3 7 3 3 16
IND 7 7 3 6 23

The Indianapolis Colts rebound from their loss while ending the Texans’ three-game win streak.

C.J. Stroud performed decently in his first game back, throwing for over 260 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The offense moved the ball well, but struggled to finish drives in the red zone, resulting in three field goals out of four attempts. Despite this, those scores kept the game close throughout.

The Indianapolis Colts performed similarly to their usual game, and they did manage to score two touchdowns. While Jonathan Taylor was limited to 84 rushing yards from 23 attempts, he successfully ran for two touchdowns and also added 17 receiving yards with three catches. On the opposing side, Daniel Jones completed 65% of his passes without throwing any touchdowns or interceptions.

The Colts led 20-16 and then extended their lead with a field goal after another seven minutes of play. The Texans needed a touchdown to win, but couldn’t even get close enough to score, failing to advance past their own 20-yard line on their final drives.

New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
NO 0 0 7 0 7
MIA 3 6 7 3 19

The Miami Dolphins win their third game in a row as they beat the Saints.

Without Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans offense had a tough time, and quarterback Spencer Rattler really struggled. He completed just over half of his passes and turned the ball over with both an interception and a fumble. While he did connect with Chris Olave for a touchdown in the third quarter, he couldn’t produce much else.

The Dolphins’ offense struggled a bit, but they capitalized on two key turnovers to put points on the board. While they had to rely on four field goals, a third-quarter touchdown by De’Von Achane proved crucial for their final score.

Up 16-7, the Dolphins managed to tack on one more FG for security as they win again.

Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
ATL 3 7 3 10 23
NYJ 3 3 0 0 6

The Falcons win their second game in a row as they take down Tyrod Taylor and the Jets.

The first half of the game was slow until the final two minutes. Trailing 6-3, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins drove his team down the field, and Bijan Robinson caught a touchdown pass to give the Falcons a 10-6 lead before halftime.

Atlanta gradually added 13 points in the second half. Jessie Bates III then sealed the victory with an interception returned for a touchdown with only 8:43 left to play. Tyrod Taylor has performed better than Justin Fields at quarterback so far.

Arizona Cardinals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
ARI 7 0 7 7 21
TB 7 7 3 9 26

The Buccaneers end a three-game losing streak as they keep their top spot in the NFC South.

We’ve decided to start Baker Mayfield, although there’s still a chance he won’t be able to play. He played much better this week than last, throwing for two touchdowns in the victory. Jacoby Brissett also performed well, matching Mayfield with two touchdown passes of his own.

Tampa Bay went ahead at halftime when running back Bucky Irving caught a 12-yard touchdown pass. Arizona quickly answered with a one-yard touchdown run by Zonovan Knight to start the third quarter. Tampa Bay then kicked a field goal, regaining the lead as the fourth quarter began.

During the final quarter, the Buccaneers added to their lead with a field goal and then a touchdown. A three-yard run by Bucky Irving increased their advantage to 26-14, but they were unable to convert the subsequent two-point attempt.

Arizona briefly closed the gap when Brissett connected with Trey McBride for a touchdown. However, Tampa Bay successfully ran down the clock, putting Arizona in a tough spot. Ultimately, Brissett threw an interception to Antoine Winfield Jr., sealing the Cardinals’ fate.

Los Angeles Rams at Carolina Panthers – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
LAR 7 14 10 0 31
CAR 0 0 0 10 10

The Rams convincingly defeated the Panthers, maintaining their leading position in the NFC. Los Angeles scored 31 straight points before the fourth quarter, when the Panthers managed to score 10 points as the game was already decided.

Matthew Stafford and Bryce Young had very different performances in the game. Stafford excelled, throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. Young struggled, throwing three interceptions and only managing 89 passing yards in the first half.

Kyren Williams had a strong game against Carolina, rushing for 106 yards on 18 attempts and consistently moving past their defensive line. His 20-yard touchdown run in the third quarter extended the Rams’ lead to 31-0, effectively sealing the victory.

L.A. wins its seventh game in a row while Carolina loses their second in a row.

Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
MIN 0 3 0 0 3
SEA 14 0 7 7 28

The Seahawks capitalized on the inexperience of rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, who was making his first NFL start, to remain a contender in the NFC West.

Seattle’s defense easily handled the game with Minnesota’s quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, sidelined due to a concussion. Vikings rookie Max Brosmer played as most expected – not great, but not terrible either. He had one costly interception returned for a touchdown, but also managed around 250 passing yards. The Vikings’ biggest issue was their inability to sustain drives, consistently getting close to scoring position before being forced to punt.

Seattle’s offense wasn’t flashy, but they managed to score three touchdowns. Running back Kenneth Walker led the way with two touchdowns, highlighted by a long 73-yard run during the second drive. Late in the fourth quarter, quarterback Sam Darnold connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 19-yard touchdown that sealed the victory.

Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
BUF 7 7 3 14 31
PIT 7 7 10 3 27

The Bills’ big 4th quarter performance lifts them past the Steelers.

The Buffalo Bills had a great game this week, winning a close match against the Steelers. Their offense really stepped up, led by Josh Allen, who threw for three touchdowns.

The first half was a back-and-forth scoring battle. James Cook III started things off with a touchdown, quickly answered by a 16-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to D.K. Metcalf. Josh Allen then connected with Khalil Shakir for a touchdown, and Kenneth Gainwell responded with a 32-yard rushing touchdown.

The Steelers began to dominate in the third quarter. While both teams kicked field goals, a touchdown run by Kenneth Gainwell gave Pittsburgh the lead. They extended it with another field goal, taking a comfortable 27-14 advantage.

However, the Bills rallied and scored two touchdowns in the last nine minutes. Josh Allen first threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Dawson Knox. After the Steelers were forced to punt, Buffalo scored again with Allen connecting with Khalik Shakir for another touchdown with 3:27 remaining in the game.

Trailing 31-27, the Steelers needed a touchdown to win. However, Aaron Rodgers was tackled for a loss twice during their final drive, and they couldn’t manage to score.

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
LV 0 7 8 0 15
LAC 3 12 7 7 29

The Chargers sweep the Raiders with ease as they stay alive in the NFC West race.

The game began with a slow pace for both teams. Los Angeles only scored a field goal in the first quarter, and the Raiders couldn’t get anything going. However, a tackle of Ashton Jeanty in the end zone for a safety in the second quarter seemed to shift the momentum of the game.

After a safety, Los Angeles kicked a field goal to go ahead 8-0. The Raiders quickly answered with a touchdown run by Jeanty, but the Chargers came right back with a touchdown pass from Herbert to Keenan Allen. At halftime, the Chargers were leading 15-7.

Both teams scored again in the second quarter: Geno Smith connected with Brock Bowers for an 11-yard touchdown (with Jeanty running in the two-point conversion), and Kimani Vidal scored on a two-yard run. Although L.A. was still ahead 22-15, the game remained close, with only one possession separating the teams.

The Raiders offense stalled completely in the fourth quarter. A touchdown pass from Justin Herbert to Quentin Johnston with around five minutes remaining extended the Chargers’ lead to 29-15, and the game was effectively over after that.

Denver Broncos at Washington Commanders – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
DEN 0 14 10 0 24
WAS 3 3 0 3 9

The Denver Broncos win their ninth game in a row as they beat the Washington Commanders.

Okay, so the Commanders were banged up, but honestly, we played a pretty solid first half. Our defense was on – we completely shut down the Broncos in the first quarter and even picked off Bo Nix! It was awesome. But our offense? We could only manage a field goal that first quarter, which was a bit frustrating.

Denver finally found its rhythm and quickly scored two touchdowns in a row. Bo Nix redeemed his earlier interception with a long, 35-yard touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton. Washington managed to kick a field goal just before halftime, keeping the score within one touchdown.

However, that didn’t stop the Broncos from continuing their strong performance, adding another 10 points to their lead. Running back RJ Harvey scored a touchdown, increasing Denver’s advantage to 24-6. Washington managed a field goal early in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t score any further points.

New York Giants at New England Patriots – NFL Week 13 Results According to Madden 26

TEAM 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter FINAL
NYG 3 10 3 3 19
NE 7 10 3 7 27

The New England Patriots win their 11th game of the season with a win over the New York Giants.

Jaxson Dart had a good game returning to the field, but the New York offense repeatedly had to settle for field goals. Their only touchdown came after a fumble recovered by Bobby Okereke, which gave them excellent field position at the New England 39-yard line. Dart then threw a touchdown pass to Darius Slayton to capitalize on the turnover.

Drake Maye had a strong performance in the team’s victory. He completed 22 out of 32 passes for 273 yards and threw three touchdowns. One of those touchdowns was to Kayshon Boutte in the second quarter, giving New England a 17-13 lead at halftime.

Both teams kicked field goals during the third quarter, but New England increased their lead when Maye threw a touchdown pass to Hunter Henry. With 11:21 remaining and a score of 27-16, either team still had a chance to win.

The Giants failed to convert on fourth down once and had to kick a field goal on another drive. Their final chance to score ended with a Dart interception caught by Christian Gonzales, sealing the game.

That concludes our look at the results of NFL Week 13 as predicted by Madden 26. We hope you enjoyed the recap, and we’re excited to see how accurate the game turns out to be! No matter what happens, it’s always fun to see what surprising predictions Madden makes.
