Predicting the 2026 NFC North
Using a custom built Python code with Monte Carlo simulations, I attempt to predict the 2026 NFC North standings. We've finally made it. The eve of meaningful football is upon us. We're just one day away from the Patriots and Seahawks squaring off in a Super Bowl LX rematch to kick off the 2026 NFL season, the first season-opening Super Bowl rematch since Broncos-Panthers in 2016. Every year before the NFL kickoff, I like to predict both the result of every Bears game and the

OOTP 26 Pittsburgh Pirates Rebuild — 2028 Q3: Injuries Impact a Historic Season
A battered roster, a busy deadline, and a championship contender trying to keep its historic pace. The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the third quarter of the season chasing history, but for the first time all year, the roster started to show some cracks. Injuries forced Pittsburgh to lean heavily on its depth, while the front office had to decide how aggressive to be with October approaching. The record still says this is one of baseball’s best teams, but the last 41 games may h

Kerry Wood and Mark Prior career rewinds: 2005 Recap
So before we get into 2005, there's something I need to bring up about MVP Baseball 2004, a game that is turning out to be a problem child. I've noticed a discrepancy in the stats, for example, at the end of the the 2005 season MVP Baseball 2004 has Mark Prior at 831.0 IP. But if we look at the actual numbers it doesn't add up. He had 328.0 IP in his two season previous to 2004. In 2004 he had 217.2 IP and in 2005 he had 228.1 IP. All of which adds up to 774.0 IP, which leave

OOTP 26 Pittsburgh Pirates Rebuild — 2028 Midseason Report: History Meets Adversity
The blistering hot start the the season has seen no slowdown for the 2028 Pittsburgh Pirates. Posting a 66-15 record through their first 81 games, they broke a record previous held by te1885 Chicago White Stockings (now the Chicago Cubs), who opened their campaign with an astounding 64–17 record. Carried by elite pitching in both the starting rotation (2.39 starter ERA) and the bullpen (2.27 ERA) the Pirates also bolster an elite offense, one that ranks 1st in nearly every ca

OOTP 26 Pittsburgh Pirates Rebuild — 2028 Q1: No Championship Hangover
The 1st Quarter of 2028 was the most blisteringly hot start in Pittsburgh Pirates history, and while not the best mark in MLB history (The 1984 Detroit Tigers started 35-6) the 34-7 Pirates made it well known early that there was no early hangover from the 2027 World Series sweep handed to them by the Boston Red Sox. But I can't help but feel...we're still missing a lot. The pitching has been as good as it's ever been, but the offense has been hot and cold up and down the lin
