    The last football game of the season, the Super Bowl, is happening this weekend. The game, which will be played in Dallas’ ridiculous new stadium, looks to be a good one between two storied franchises that know how to build teams, the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers

    For over a week the pundits have been talking about who they think will win, and now EA Sports has released data from its annual Madden NFL simulation of the event, pegging the favorite as the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-20 over the Pack. 

    My first thought was, “Hey, that’s a believable score.” But, apparently, realistic scores are par for the Super Bowl simulations that EA has been running over the last several years. Also, Madden simulations have correctly pegged the winner of Super Bowls a stellar six out of the last seven years. That’s quite an impressive record, eh?

    == TEASER ==So, how does this year’s Super Bowl shake out according to Madden 11? In addition to dropping a colorful highlight-filled rundown and video, the official Madden blog has provided this handy-dandy chart detailing all the major action:

    1st Quarter
    • 12:37 PIT FGS. Suisham missed 41 Yd
    • 7:58 PIT INT T. Polamalu, Intercepts ball on own 43
    • 2:55 PIT TDR. Mendenhall, 2 Yd run (Suisham kick)

    2nd Quarter
    • 12:41 PIT FG S. Suisham, 32 Yd FG
    • 8:46 GB FG M. Crosby missed 44 Yd FG
    • 1:29 GB INTA.J. Hawk, Intercepts ball on Pittsburgh 39
    • 0:26 GB TDG. Jennings, 12 Yd pass from A. Rodgers (M. Crosby kick)

    3rd Quarter
    • 8:59 PIT TDH. Ward, 17 Yd pass from B. Roethlisberger (Suisham kick)
    • 5:10 GB FG M. Crosby, 49 Yd FG
    • 1:16 GB FGM. Crosby, 38 Yd FG

    4th Quarter
    • 9:00 GB TD J. Jones, 9 Yd pass from A. Rodgers (M. Crosby kick)
    • 1:20 PIT TDM. Wallace, 36 Yd pass from B. Roethlisberger (Suisham kick)
    • 0:20 PIT INTR. Clark, Intercepts ball on own 20 

    We probably shouldn’t take this data too seriously, despite the record Madden has in predicting Super Bowl winners. In one franchise season of Madden 11 of mine, for example, the game’s brain gave the Dallas Cowboys a stellar winning record, but this 24-20 score is pretty interesting. Both of the contending teams are defensive-minded, so it’s hard to believe the 30 barrier will be broken... but I guess we’ll see.

    Not a big Packers fan, but I vehemently dislike Ben Roethlisberger, so go Pack.
     
    In a perfect world, I'd be saying "Go Chiefs!" right now. But I'll just have to wait for that to be a reality.

    Go Pack!
     
    Side note, the only one Madden got wrong was NY vs. NE, and I think we can be forgiving on that one given the catch that had to be made for the upset to be pulled off.

    Aaron Rodgers is like the least offensive person ever. He rarely complains or says a negative word about anyone or really boasts about his own accomplishments. 
     
    Big Ben on the other hand likes to flash his Little Ben in clubs to random girls......

    I wonder what would happen if it got it completely correct... Has that ever happened? 
     
    I guess that would mean that football games have come to the point of having perfect AI.  Or that madden should play the lottery or something.

    Green Bay and Giant Bomb are both GB, therefore I will put my imaginary money on Green Bay. I support one GB, I might as well support the other.

    Really?  Saying "the team that beat us won the Super Bowl" sounds a lot better than "the team that beat us lost in the Super Bowl", at least as far as the Ravens are concerned.
