Madden NFL 17 has won the forecast: Patriots winning from behind
Last Feb. 1, EA released the trailer of their Super Bowl LI prediction where the Patriots won another Super Bowl. The trailer opens with the commentator: "If there's one thing you don't wanna do, though, it's leaving time on the clock for Tom Brady." Thus, the Patriots might come from behind and win Super Bowl LI according to EA's "Madden NFL 17,". Something crazy happened - Madden NFL 17 has predicted the result correctly.
To predict the result of the Super Bowl has been a tradition for the Madden NFL franchise since 2004, days or weeks ahead of the actual game. And for the previous 13 years that they have been putting out their fearless forecasts, they managed to keep a pretty accurate record, missing just four out of the 13 previous predictions. Last year's results was one of their four misses. EA predicted that the Carolina Panthers would win over the Denver Broncos, 27-24. As the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, 24-10, however, a the actual results were the opposite.
The Super Bowl LI, where the Patriots have to face the Atlanta Falcons, has happen on Sunday, Feb. 5, at 6:30 p.m. EST at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. In Madden NFL 17, Falcons lead 17-10 which is 21-3 in reality heading into the second half. The final score ends up to be quite short. The patriots won 34-28 while Madden's prediction is 27-24. Nonetheless, Madden predicted almost the entire game including Tom Brady's last-minute turnaround which made Patriots bag Super Bowl LI.
"With under four minutes left to play, Brady and company returned to the field with their sights set on victory. They showed tremendous patience, riding short passes and the power run game to march the ball across midfield, but with less than two minutes to play, they knew they had to find the end zone. The Falcons defense, harangued by Brady and company all day, stiffened and forced the Pats into a 4th and 4 situations with only 20 seconds to go. With his Super Bowl legacy on the line, Brady turned to his most trusted receiver, hitting Julian Edelman for the game-winning touchdown and history is made," said EA Sports.
In NFL history, Tom Brady became the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls after New England defeated Atlanta 27-24. If the real Super Bowl 2017 is anything like the Madden NFL 17 simulation, we could be in for a great game on Sunday.
