If you want to know who will be heading home with the Vince Lombardi trophy, then the folks behind Madden have the answer

Forget your spreadsheets and your statistics, the guys at Electronic Arts have got the result of the Super Bowl all wrapped up, in case you were interested in laying down a few quid on it, like our mate Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.

They’ve run a simulation on their famous Madden title, which has been something of a tradition for the last decade, and their form is pretty good on that front, getting eight out of the last ten right. If they’re right this time, then the game will be an incredibly exciting one as they have the Broncos coming out on top in the snow after overtime.

Peyton Manning gets the MVP honors for his three touchdowns, although it’s not all plain sailing as the now infamous Richard Sherman picks him off and returns it to the house too. The final score comes down to the boot of Matt Prater, who slots home a field goal to give Denver a 31-28 win in what sounds like an epic game. We might as well put the house on it so…
