Madden 2010 Picks The Saints To Win Superbowl XLIV
|
Feb 4 2010, 1:02 PM
In five of the past six years the EA Sports Madden simulation has
correctly predicted the winner of the Super Bowl. Last season, Madden
NFL 09 pretty much nailed its prediction on Super Bowl XLIII, calling a
big first quarter for the Steelers, a comeback by the Cardinals and then
a late Pittsburgh victory. The final predicted score was 28-24
Steelers, just two total points off the actual 27-23 result.
All of this bodes well for the New Orleans Saints. EA
projects that Drew Brees(notes) and company will pull a
35-31 upset over Peyton Manning(notes) and the Indianapolis Colts in
Super Bowl XLIV. Here's how it's expected
to go down:
"The first three quarters display the
offensive fireworks that both teams have become known for, with the
Colts leading 24-21. A nail biting fourth quarter begins with a big
play, courtesy of the Saints' special teams, when Reggie Bush(notes) returns a punt for a
42-yard touchdown. However, with minutes left in the game the duo of Joseph Addai(notes) and Peyton Manning put
the Colts back on top with a go-ahead touchdown pass. With the game
hanging in the balance, Drew Brees hits David Thomas(notes) for an 11-yard
touchdown and the game winning score."
Is there anything video games can't do? Oh wait.... Sorry I said anything...
