Madden and betting are both synonymous with professional football, so why not blend both things together?

That may have been the thought process that led to the newest Madden NFL 18 Ultimate Team promotion.

Madden Ultimate Team delivers the most consistent stream of content among the various collector modes in the sports video game universe.

NFL Predictor is designed to play off the upcoming NFL postseason. Fans are charged with playing solo challenges that award "True" or "False" badges. Those badges can be used to predict whether specific events will take place in this weekend's slate of postseason matchups.

You can also pick the winners of the four games. For example, one of the true-or-false scenarios reads this way:

"Giants at Packers: [Odell] Beckham Jr. Beckham has 1+ receiving TDs. A correct pick is worth 2,500 coins."

If you complete the associated solo challenge and use a "true" badge you've been awarded from this scenario, and Beckham has at least one receiving score against the Packers, you'll win 2,500 coins.

The newest addition to Ultimate Team is perhaps the best yet: Brett Favre, the legendary gunslinger whose distinctively fun style of quarterbacking defined the NFL for a generation. Announced on EA's website and reported by Polygon, you can get Favre right now.

Unlocking Favre is remarkably easy: Just log into Ultimate Team on your PS4 or Xbox One to unlock a version of Favre with an 86 Overall Rating, as well as a sequence of Favre Frozen Solo Challenges to play. Once you finish that sequence, you'll unlock a slightly better 89 OVR version of Favre.

As an added bonus, you can then grab two of Favre's favorite targets from his lengthy NFL career for your Ultimate Team. For example, Sterling Sharpe scorched the Detroit Lions in a classic playoff game, while Antonio Freeman made one of the greatest catches in NFL history. Both of them are available as part of this update.

Keep completing solo challenges and gathering players to unlock elite versions of Favre, Sharpe and Freeman. Once you've done that, bring back one of the most potent NFL passing attacks in history in any uniform you want. Who hasn't wanted to see Brett Favre in a Jacksonville Jaguars uniform?
