By Jacob Yturri
Madden NFL 16 has predicted who will win Super Bowl 50.
The hit football video game, Madden NFL 16 is ready to predict who will win Super Bowl 50. In the past 12 years, the Madden NFL game has correctly predicted the Super Bowl winning team nine times.
Last year, the game nailed both the game’s winner and its final score (28-24). Additionally, it correctly predicted that the Patriots would be trailing 24-14 before staging a comeback to take the contest late.

In last year’s Super Bowl, Tom Brady threw for 328 yards and four touchdowns. In the simulation run by Madden 15, Brady was predicted to throw for 335 yards and four touchdowns. It is crazy to think that Madden 15’s simulation was off by only seven yards, but hey, this thing is that good.
This year, Madden 16 is predicting the Carolina Panthers will defeat the Denver Broncos, 24-20, with Cam Newton being named the Super Bowl MVP.
The key to the Super Bowl 50, per Madden 16, is Cam Newton’s playmaking ability. In the simulation Newton completes 73 percent of his passes for one touchdown. Also, when watching the video viewers can easily see Newton making several big throws and runs to ultimately will his Panthers team to victory.
In the end, a furious second half comeback by the Denver Broncos was not enough. With under a minute on the clock, and the football on the goal line, Cam Newton makes a game clinching touchdown scramble.
If Super Bowl 50 turns out anywhere close to how Madden NFL 16 suggests it will, then we all are in for one heck of a game.
