Steelers will win Super Bowl XLV!

I'd put money on it....If I had any :nope:

Steelers will win Super Bowl XLV, predicts Madden 11

Forget Punxsutawney Phil -- Madden 11, EA's pigskin prognosticator, has emerged from its burrow just in time to make its annual wintery pick.

And it's going with Pittsburgh.

According to the simulation, the Steelers storm back from an early fourth quarter deficit to narrowly beat the Green Bay Packers, 24-20, nabbing their record seventh Vince Lombardi Trophy. With five catches for 111 yards -- including the game-winning TD -- Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace wins the MVP.

EA Sports has been using Madden to predict the Super Bowl winner for years now, and the famed football franchise is proving eerily good at it. Not only has Madden correctly picked six of the last seven winners, it's actually been quite close on the final scores in a few of them.


Super Bowl XXXVIII
Madden: Patriots 23, Panthers 20
Actual Score: Patriots 32, Panthers 29

Super Bowl XXXIX
Madden: Patriots 47, Eagles 31
Actual score: Patriots 24, Eagles 21


Super Bowl XL
Madden: Steelers 24, Seahawks 19
Actual score: Steelers 21, Seahawks 10

Super Bowl XLI
Madden: Colts 38, Bears 27
Actual score: Colts 29, Bears 17


Super Bowl XLII -- WHOOPS
Madden: Patriots 38, Giants 30
Actual score: Giants 17, Patriots 14


Super Bowl XLIII
Madden: Steelers 28, Cardinals 24
Actual score: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23

Super Bowl XLIV
Madden: Saints 35, Colts 31
Actual score: Saints 31, Colts 17


So it botched the underdog Giants victory in 2008, but check out the scores of the two recent Pittsburgh wins. Madden might not be Grays Sports Almanac, but with that kind of track record, we're not inclined to bet against it.

i saw this on yahoo.... that would be crazy if it hit on the head with scores and all

Yea, I pulled it off there too (it comes from the AP).

Nevermond the scores, I'm impresserd purely by it predicting the winner.

I wonder what settings/conditions etc. they assign it for the game.

LMAO I'll never get tired of the your Bret hate, I simply love it.


Ok but I do really one day have to understand the source of the hate for the guy. After coming back from retirement, he had to compete with Rodgers fro the position at camp and ended up losing...se he left. Why are so many people pissed because he left to go to another team? The Packers are the ones that passsed him up!

And obviously he was still good, with the Viks he was one play away from the superbowl last year...
