Since 2004, Electronic Arts has used its Madden NFL series to forecast Super Bowl outcomes. For Super Bowl 49, it predicts the Philadelphia Eagles will win against the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 23-21. Historically, however, Madden's prediction success isn't impressive and resembles chance. The game has achieved accuracy in predicting winners, including a one-time perfect match with the accurate score. A review of past results shows an inconsistent track of predictions, sparking skepticism about the game's forecasting abilities for the upcoming Super Bowl.
EA's Madden NFL has predicted the Super Bowl winner since 2004, announcing Philadelphia Eagles as the 2024 victor over the Kansas City Chiefs in a close game.
Despite its predictions, Madden's history shows a mixed success rate, performing only slightly better than random guessing in picking the Super Bowl winner.
The prediction for Super Bowl 49 is particularly notable as it was the only occasion where EA not only guessed the winner but also the precise score.
Madden NFL's cumulative record includes numerous incorrect predictions, yet it has produced some accurate forecasts, resulting in an overall puzzling trend of outcomes.
