Madden 12 Cover Vote Heads Into the Quarterfinals

If there's one thing on the minds of all football fans right now it's...who's going to be on the cover of the fall game (yes, it'll come out no matter what the NFL and the-organization-formerly-known-as-the-NFLPA do).

We're down to the final, elite eight, and there are a couple of cool, low-profile choices like Peyton Hillis and Danny Woodhead still going up against the big boys. Of course, we're definitely excited about Adrian Peterson – after all, even if there is such a thing as a Madden curse, things couldn't get worse for the Vikings, so bring it on.

Here are some info/stats from the previous round from EA Sports:
