EA Sports has released its annual Madden simulation of the Super Bowl, and the Patriots came out on top.[fragment number=0]

In a virtual game that featured interceptions from Earl Thomas and Darrelle Revis and touchdowns from Rob Gronkowski and Marshawn Lynch, the Super Bowl played out as close as many experts are projecting. The Patriots overcame a 10-point deficit to win 28-24, with Julian Edelman scoring the winning touchdown.

Since its inception, the Madden sim has picked eight Super Bowls correctly, against three incorrect picks. The Patriots have been involved in four Madden Super Bowls and the computer is 3-1 on those picks, missing on the 2008 Super Bowl against the New York Giants.
