Madden NFL 18 - Super Bowl 52 Prediction - Patriots Vs Eagles

For the past 14 years EA Sports' Madden NFL video game, has been running game simulations to predict the out come of the Super Bowl. These game simulations have been uncanny in predicting the outcome of these games, having predicted the correct outcome 10 out of 14 times.

For Super Bowl XLIX, played three years ago, Madden NFL 15 not only predicted that the New England Patriots would win the Super Bowl, it predicted that they would come from behind in a last minute comeback to defeat the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 28-24, which was correct.

It also predicted that:

• The Patriots would score first - Correct
• Tom Brady would win MVP - Correct
• Tom Brady would have 4 touchdown passes - Correct
• Julian Edelman would catch the game winning touchdown - Correct

Madden NFL 15 other amazingly close game day stats included:

• Tom Brady would pass for 335 yard (he throw for 328, 7 yards shy of total)
• It was only 3 yards and 1 catch away from perfectly calling Julian Edelman’s entire game.
• Halftime score 17 - 14 (game was actually tied at 14)

The Madden 15 game simulation was the most detailed and amazingly accurate one of all time.

Last year, Madden 17 once again predicted correctly the outcome of the game when it went out on a limb and said the Patriots would mount a last drive, come from behind victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

How close will this years prediction be? We'll have to watch the game to find out.



My prediction:

Patriots 28 - Eagles 23
