First Update on Voting in Second Round of Madden 12 Cover Tournament

ESPN has dropped some info on the current status of some second round matchups for the Madden 12 cover just over a day into the full week of voting. The only one of those mentioned that could really be considered a surprise is Patrick Willis holding a healthy 61/39 lead over Hines Ward. Willis edged out a victory over The 12th Man in the closest first round contest and Ward has the large and supportive Steelers fan base behind him but that could also make him a target.

Adrian Peterson, arguably the favorite to reach the finals from his respective side of the brackets, has established a solid 55% of the vote vs Philip Rivers. As expected Aaron Rodgers is cruising yet again this time over Sam Bradford and currently has 77% of the vote. The one to watch though is Maurice Jones-Drew vs Jamaal Charles which is a virtual dead heat at this point.
