EA Sports’ Madden NFL series has been the go-to football game for decades now. If you want to unwind after work with some football action, this is a mainstay. But not only is it a solid game, but it also has the potential to act as a darn good simulator for real life.
Since 2004 EA Sports has been releasing the results of simulations it runs within the annual editions of Madden NFL that predict how the Super Bowl will unfold – and while nothing is perfect, these predictions can feel surprisingly prescient, especially in the case of Super Bowl 49’s result.
The results really speak for themselves, and you can find the full list of Madden NFL Super Bowl predictions throughout history, thanks to SportingNews.
