Madden 09 Says Steelers Will Top Cards Next Sunday


The Steelers will beat the Cardinals in Super Bowl 43. That’s the prediction from the video game “Madden NFL 09.” It forecasts a close game that ultimately ends up with a 28-24 Steelers win. Madden predicts the Steelers will build a 21-7 lead before the Cardinals storm back, only to fall short.

EA Sports has used the Madden NFL franchise to simulate upcoming Super Bowls for the past six years. In 2004, it correctly picked the New England Patriots to beat the Carolina Panthers. Madden NFL ran off an impressive four-year string of winning picks but fumbled for the first time in 2008 when it predicted the New England Patriots would beat the Giants. In reality, the Giants pulled off a stunning upset, beating the heavily-favored Patriots 17-14.

Super Bowl 43 takes place on February 1st at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Matt Loede has been in the sports media for over 16 years, with experience covering the MLB, NBA, and NFL. On Sunday’s during football season, you can hear Matt on national networks like Fox Sports Radio, Associated Press, and others. Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, Matt studies and talks football inside and out, and is anxious to share his thoughts and comments with readers on a daily basis.

    Im convinced now!! How about everyone else? Its fun to try and make this conclusion, but c’mon! In all reality, I know I am taking the fun out of this but secretly I am praying the video game is right. 28-24 does, in fact, sound reasonable.

    Pretty funny…I guess these are good simulations, right? I wonder if Vegas uses Madden to build the line?

    I guess Madden doesn’t simulate Troy Polomalu’s (sp?) hair though, huh?
