Super Bowl 2014: ‘Madden 25’ Predicts Winner

January 27, 2014

Not only does Madden 25 predict snow during this Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seahawks and Broncos, but the game predicts an epic contest that sees a late Seattle rally who forces overtime, only to lose in 31-28 by a Broncos Matt Prater field goal. Not to brag, but I predicted nearly the same outcome earlier.

Sure it's always fun to do a simulation on the most realistic football game ever made, but why does it really matter? The answer is kind of creepy actually.

As it turns out, Madden has correctly predicted the winner of the Super Bowl in eight of the last 10 years and is 7-3 against the spread in that time. Ya, good luck beating those odds betting on anything else.

Madden predicts a push this year with Denver being a three-point favorite. They also call for the 'over' in regards to the over/under line, one that is set at 47 points.
