Super Bowl 50 features the two top seeds from both the AFC and the NFC with the Denver Broncos facing the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium. It's a matchup between the NFL's top defense against the NFL's top offense, and if you're are struggling to pick who will win the big game, EA Sports "Madden NFL 16" might have just helped you out by predicting the winner.
The simulation predicts the Carolina Panthers will win Super Bowl 50 24-20 with the Panthers jumping out to an early 17-0 halftime lead. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will then lead his team in a comeback taking the lead 20-17 in the fourth quarter, but will fall short as Carolina quarterback and the NFL's frontrunner for the league MVP, Cam Newton, rushes for the game-winning touchdown with under a minute left in the game.
In the game, Newton will be awarded with the Super Bowl MVP award after completing 19 of 26 passes for 216 yards with a touchdown through the air and the game-winning scramble on the ground, according to Bleacher Report. While Newton is predicted the hero of Super Bowl 50, Manning puts up a strong effort completing 21 of 37 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns.
While there is no guarantee "Madden" will correctly predict the Super Bowl, it has accurately predicted nine of the last 12 Super Bowls. "Madden" also predicted the exact final score of last years game with the New England Patriots winning 28-24 over the Seattle Seahawks.
