- NFC+155
It is understandable why sports bettors will be leaning so heavily in favor of the AFC. Since Madden is a video game, the players' stats are determined mathematically based on real-world play, and then is executed within the game.
This means, that the digital versions of the players are in many cases the best versions. The element of making a mistake is lowered as a player's overall skill rating, determined by a combination of season stats, determines how they play in a given game.
That being said, Patrick Mahomes who is the starting QB for the AFC pro bowl team has a Madden rating of 99 overall, the highest one can have.
