Ahead of Super Bowl 57, the latest iteration of Madden has perhaps given us a glimpse into how things will shake out later this week.
On Monday, Electronic Arts (EA) released its annual prediction for the Super Bowl after running a simulation within Madden NFL 2023. Based on those results, it seems the Philadelphia Eagles will be victorious, soundly defeating the Kansas City Chiefs by 31-17.
There are a few other notable statistics as well from the simulation. Pat Mahomes scored one touchdown and 29/39 attempts. Meanwhile, A.J. Brown had a single touchdown and eight catches. Chris Jones has two sacks and four tackles, while C.J. Gardner-Johnson had five tackles and one interception. Quite a busy game!
There’s a short video starring former professional wide receiver Chad Ochocinco that goes over the simulation’s highlights. Not sure what the desert mirage motif is all about, though.
As always, you shouldn’t take these predictions as gospel. Madden has a spotty history of successfully predicting the Super Bowl’s outcome – though it isn’t always wrong. Obviously, we won’t know how accurate any of the numbers are until the game itself happens.
Madden NFL 23 came out in the summer of 2022 with generally favorable reviews and captured the late John Madden’s legacy by many accounts.
