Madden's Super Bowl 60 Correct Prediction Extends Win Streak To Three Years In A Row

Right on the moneySuper Bowl LX took place this past Sunday, featuring the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots duking it out for the title.EA's Super Bowl simulation this year predicted the Seahawks would win by a score of 23-20 in a close game that came down to the wire. In reality, the Seahawks did win, but by a score of 29-13. The game was not close. EA's prediction has now been correct for three straight years.EA's predictions in the past have been eerily accurate, like in 2015 when the simulation predicted the Patriots' comeback victory against the Seattle Seahawks--and the final score--along with the exact type of pass play that made it happen. It was spooky. But EA isn't always that accurate with its predictions. Sometimes, the simulation gets it very, very wrong.EA got off to a hot start by accurately predicting the Super Bowl winners four straight years, from Super Bowl 38 to Super Bowl 41. Since then, however, the simulation never got it right more than two years in a row. The prediction has been wrong for the past three Super Bowls.What does it all mean? Looking at the past decade-plus, EA has accurately predicted the Super Bowl winner just about 50% of the time.Off the field, companies spent as much as $10 million for a 30-second ad at the Super Bowl this year, the highest rate ever.Click through the gallery to see a rundown of EA's Madden Super Bowl simulations over the past years, looking at what was predicted and then what actually happened in real life.
