EA: Patriots will win Super Bowl LII on Sunday

The traditional Super Bowl simulation sees New England win over Philadelphia by four points.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 2 February 2018

As is tradition, EA has done a simulation of Super Bowl using the latest iteration of their longrunning football series - Madden NFL 18. Agreeing with most experts and betting lines New England Patriots will claim another title against the Philadelphia Eagles, which would give Pats quarterback an incredible sixth championship ring.

Perhaps more surprising than the outcome of the simulation is how evenly matched the game was with the end result predicted as 24-20, less than a touchdown between the two teams. Now, before you dismiss this as a mere simulation you should know that EA has a good track record, failing to pick only four of the last fourteen Super Bowl winners. But those who saw Philadelphia Eagles' absolute destruction of Minnesota Vikings a couple of weeks ago may think an upset isn't out of the question.

Head over to NFL.com for a look at the full game simulation. A great warm-up if you're looking to pull an all-nighter (if you live over here in Europe that is) come Sunday night.
