EA Sports has been running Super Bowl simulations using Madden for more than
a decade now with a respectable record of nine correct predictions and three
false ones. However, this year it didn't just pick the winning team, it also
foresaw that the Patriots would be trailing in the third quarter only for
Tom Brady to deliver a game-clinching pass to Julian Edelman for a final
score of 28-24. Yahoo Tech notes that the simulator also got some of the
finer details right, including the first team to score, Brady's number of
touchdowns, and was also only 27 yards off nailing the quarterback's total
passing yardage.
