If you’ve been with us for a few years you’ll probably know that EA Sports has been using their Madden game engine to predict the results of that year’s Super Bowl. Well, now that both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers are in the running for this year’s Super Bowl XLV, EA Sports has whipped out Madden 11 to tell us the results.

According to the simulation the Steelers ousted the Packers in the 4th quarter by a game winning 36 yard pass with a final score of 24 – 20.

Before you start getting skeptical, make note that EA Sports has accurately predicted the results of 6/7 of the last Super Bowls with the only Super Bowl upset being the Giants win over the Patriots 2 years ago.

Below are the 6 accurate predictions as according to ESPN:

• Super Bowl XXXVIII: Patriots 23, Panthers 20 (actual score: Patriots 32, Panthers 29)
• Super Bowl XXXIX: Patriots 47, Eagles 31 (actual score: Patriots 24, Eagles 21)
• Super Bowl XL: Steelers 24, Seahawks 19 (actual score: Steelers 21, Seahawks 10)
• Super Bowl XLI: Colts 38, Bears 27 (actual score: Colts 29, Bears 17)
• Super Bowl XLIII: Steelers 28, Cardinals 24 (actual score: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23)
• Super Bowl XLIV: Saints 35, Colts 31 (actual score: Saints 31, Colts 17)
