Game of the Week
The flagship weekly card. Bot picks the most-anticipated matchup of the week, posts a rich embed in the GOTW channel, and lets every member vote which side will win.
What the embed shows
- Both teams' full names (no abbreviation truncation)
- Records + recent form
- Top 5 players per side with dev-trait icons
- Position-by-position matchup — best QB, HB, WR, TE, OL, EDGE, DT, LB, CB, S on each side
- Team comparison — PPG, OPPG, off/def yards, off/def rank, TO differential
- Win probability computed from standings + recent scoring
- Vote buttons — one pick per user; live tallies after voting
How the pick gets locked in
Commish runs /gotw matchup and selects one of the unplayed games for the upcoming week. The card auto-closes voting once the game finishes; the embed updates with final score + the GOTW trophy emoji on the winner.
Where the data comes from
Same source-of-truth as the rest of the bot — MaddenDB.getLatestPlayers (with devTrait preserved by reading raw MADDEN_PLAYER docs) for top-5 + position matchups, MaddenDB.getLatestStandings for the team comparison block.
Configuration
