Welcome to a new week of Madden NFL, gamers!

We’re running at full steam ahead this week with our new time slot of Wednesday, 5PT/8ET, and our first two Virgin Gaming sponsored Game of the Week Qualifiers!

  • Eric “E-” Bland
  • Mohammed “Moezy-Madden” Abdeljabbar

These two fine Madden NFL gamers beat out several other competitors for a chance to play SGibs and ZFarls on this week’s Game of the Week. Not only will they be competing in this week’s game (where they can win their choice of digital gift card from GameStop.com or NFLShop.com), but they’ve already won the Tournament Winner’s Kit and secured a spot in the MaddenTips TWIM Championship at the end of the season.

If you didn’t get a chance to enter last week, don’t worry; Virgin Gaming is hosting the Game of the Week Qualifiers all season long, so register as soon as possible on VirginGaming.com, and then check back on Friday 12PT/3ET to register for the Qualifiers tournaments as well. (Game of the Week Qualifier tournaments are held on Saturday 12PT/3ET). Last week’s brackets filled up in minutes, so don’t be left in the backfield while everyone else is moving the chains.

On this week’s episode of TWIM, we’ll be taking callers for our Lightning Round, where you can call in and win free eGuides, and we’ll chat with Chris “ChubbyLOC” Upshaw, the first qualifier in Virgin Gaming’s Madden NFL Challenge. We’ll also discuss:

  • Coverage vs. Pressure: How to play defense in Madden NFL 13.
  • Game Management: When and when not to go for it on 4th down.
