I for one wouldn’t put too much into this Madden simulation prediction. I’ve done this myself in prior versions and wasn’t even close to the actual out come ! Shoot the 2014 Buccaneers went 7-9 in one of my simulations and landed a wild card..
“In simulations of the past 12 Super Bowls, Madden has correctly predicted the winner nine times, and even nailed the final score of last season’s game.”- Thomas Bassinger of the Tampa Bay Times
