To cap off the week 7 action, the NFL is ready to kick off Monday Night Football, and EA Sports latest football game Madden 15 is here to help us see how it will play out. With the Houston Texans headed to Pittsburgh, on long rest, to take on the Steelers, we should be in for a good matchup.

For the Texans, the significant rest, having not played since last Thursday, should be of benefit to them. Also of note, head coach Bill O’Brien mentioned that Jadeveon Clowney may have a shot to get back on the field. With Clowney having been out since the first game of the season with a torn meniscus, he would be an added upgrade to an already stout defensive unit.

The Steelers are coming in to the Monday Night Football matchup after being beaten by the Brian Hoyer led Cleveland Browns. They will be looking for a bounce back victory.

Here is how Madden 15 sees the game shaking out:

Houston Texans (22) Pittsburgh (24)

Ben Roethlisberger 271 yards 2 touchdowns
Arian Foster 25 carries 67 yards 1 touchdown
Antonio Brown 8 receptions 74 yards 2 touchdowns
Jason Worilds 11 tackles

In a close matchup between two relatively even teams, Madden 15 gives the nod to the home squad. Behind a solid game from Big Ben, Mike Tomlin and his squad look to bounce back from yet another tough loss. Despite Arian Foster getting into the end zone, it appears as if Madden 15 sees the Steelers defense keeping him contained for the most part.

I think this game sits as a complete toss up, and either team could come out victorious. Both teams sitting at 3-3, each has seen some games slip away from them. I expected the Texans to be better than they have been, and the Steelers to not look quite so bad.

At any rate, look for this one to be close throughout. Make sure to check back next week for Madden 15’s week 8 predictions.
