Madden Super Bowl predictions 2023 Video

The Chiefs and the Eagles are set to meet on Sunday to determine the champion of Super Bowl 57.But EA Sports' popular "Madden" video game believes it already knows which team is going to emerge victoriously.It's easy to make a case for either side. The Eagles have one of the best and deepest rosters in the NFL and are built to get pre sure on Patrick Mahomes. They also have a rock-solid, balanced offense that contains within it few if any holes.As for the Chiefs, their roster isn't as strong, but there's no denying that Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL right now. He is playing in the Super Bowl for the third time in the last four years and will do so with one of the NFL's best coaches, Andy Reid, by his side.MORE: Sportsbooks believe this game to be a to sup of sorts, as the Eagles are slight, 1.5-point Brian McCann Jersey favorites acro s the board.Does Madden 23 agree with that analysis, or is it picking the underdog this season? Here's a look at the popular video game's prediction for Super Bowl 57, as well as its accuracy in predicting winners over the last two decades.SUPER BOWL PICKS: | Madden is projecting that Super Bowl 57 will be a blowout. It has the Eagles beating the Chiefs 31-17 to give Philadelphia its second Lombardi Trophy Lance McCullers Jersey .The preview didn't show too many specific plays, but it appeared that the Eagles were able to do two things particularly well in this contest. They were to limit Patrick Mahomes in the pa sing game while taking advantage of the Chiefs' young cornerbacks on their own.Mahomes was accurate in the simulation but otherwise had one of his worst games of the season. He completed 29 of 39 pa ses but totaled just 249 yards during the contest; his yards-per-attempt average of 6.38 marked his lowest of the season.Even more troubling, Mahomes was only able to throw for one touchdown while also to sing a pick to C.J. Gardner-Johnson. That disparity allowed the Eagles to pull away in this contest thanks to a stellar effort by their receivers.MORE: Madden didn't reveal Jalen Hurts' stats for the contest in its official prediction, but top receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each had strong games. Brown racked up 114 yards on eight catches. That included a deep-ball touchdown during which he outjumped Chiefs rookie Trent McDuffie to get into the end zone.That wasn't the only touchdown scored against McDuffie. The 2022 first-round pick also was covering Smith when the second-year receiver was able to make the catch over the smaller defender.The biggest bright spot for the Chiefs' defense was that its top defensive lineman, Chris Jones, was able to rack up two sacks of Hurts. So, maybe Kansas City won't be as overmatched in the trenches as initially anticipated.Even still, the Eagles' 14-point margin of victory marks the second-largest ever predicted in an official Madden Super Bowl simulation. The largest came in 2005 EA's second year releasing a projection in a game that, ironically, also featured the Eagles.Philadelphia lost that simulation 47-31 to the Patriots. The Eagles were, in fact, defeated in Super Bowl 39, but they kept it much closer in a 24-21 lo s.IYER: Chiefs stats from Madden simulationBelow are the stats provided by the Madden simulation trailer, including Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey stats listed by EA and those inferred from the highlights shown.Patrick Mahomes: 29/39 pa sing, 249 yards, 1 TD Jose Altuve Jersey , 1 INTChris Jones: 4 tackles, 2 sacksTrent McDuffie: 2 TDs allowedEagles stats from Madden simulationBelow are the stats provided by the Madden simulation trailer, including stats listed by EA and those inferred from the highlights shown.Please note that the stats for Smith and Hurts are incomplete.A.J.

It correctly picked the Patriots to beat the Panthers by a field goal in that contest.Since its inception, the Madden Super Bowl simulation has posted a record of 11-8 in its straight-up Super Bowl predictions. However, it has gone just 1-4 in the last five Super Bowls including last year's simulation, which picked the Bengals to beat the Rams 24-21 so the Eagles may want to temper their expectations.The Madden Super Bowl simulation predicted the exact outcome once in its history. That came in Super Bowl 49, when the Patriots beat the Seahawks 28-24 in the famed Malcolm Butler interception game.Below is a full list of the predictions over the last 19 years.YearMadden predictionActual scoreCorrect winner?Super Bowl 56Bengals 24, Rams 21Rams 23, Bengals 20NoSuper Bowl 55Chiefs 37, Buccaneers 27Buccaneers 33, Chiefs 9NoSuper Bowl 54Chiefs 35, 49ers 31Chiefs 31, 49ers 20YesSuper Bowl 53Rams 30, Patriots 27Patriots 13, Rams 3NoSuper Bowl 52Patriots 24, Eagles 20Eagles 41, Patriots 33NoSuper Bowl 51Patriots 27 Craig Biggio Jersey , Falcons 24Patriots 34, Falcons 28YesSuper Bowl 50Panthers 24, Broncos 20Broncos 24, Panthers 10NoSuper Bowl 49Patriots 28, Seahawks 24Patriots 28, Seahawks 24PerfectSuper Bowl 48Broncos 31, Seahawks 28Seahawks 43, Broncos 8NoSuper Bowl 47Ravens 27, 49ers 24Ravens 34, 49ers 31YesSuper Bowl 46Giants 27, Patriots 24Giants 21, Patriots 17YesSuper Bowl 45Steelers 24, Packers 20Packers 31, Steelers 25NoSuper Bowl 44Saints 35, Colts 31Saints 31, Colts 17YesSuper Bowl 43Steelers 28, Cardinals 24Steelers 27, Cardinals 23YesSuper Bowl 42Patriots 38, Giants 30Giants 17, Patriots 14NoSuper Bowl 41Colts 38, Bears 27Colts 29, Bears 17YesSuper Bowl 40Steelers 24, Seahawks 19Steelers 21, Seahawks 10YesSuper Bowl 39Patriots 47, Eagles 31Patriots 24, Eagles 21YesSuper Bowl 38Patriots 23, Panthers 20Patriots 32, Panthers 29Yes
