EA Sports predicts New England Patriots as Super Bowl LI winners

EA Sports has revealed the results of the official Madden NFL 17 Super Bowl LI game simulation, as the prediction calls for the New England Patriots to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 27 – 24 in Houston.

Brady’s final stat line showed him going 30 for 39 with 305 yards, while also being responsible for all three Patriots’ touchdowns on his way to MVP honors. LaGarrette Blount and Dion Lewis combined for over 100 yards on the ground, with Blount tallying 19 carries for 78 yards, while Lewis added 8 touches for 32 yards and a receiving touchdown. Julian Edelman claimed top receiver honors, hauling in nine passes for 102 yards and a touchdown, while Chris Hogan caught three balls for 50 yards and a touchdown.

EA's 2015 prediction not only correctly forecasted the final score, but also accurately called that New England would overcome a 10-point 3rd quarter deficit and came within three yards of accurately forecasting Julian Edelman’s final receiving yardage total.

In time for the big game, Madden NFL 17 will be on sale for $20 until February 6th on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

Madden NFL 17 is developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon and is available for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
