Madden NFL 23 predicts the Super Bowl winner and MVP

This weekend’s Super Bowl champion will be the Philadelphia Eagles. Madden NFL 23, in the series’ latest simulation of American football’s biggest event.

The Eagles’ receiver A.J. Brown hauled in eight catches for 114 yards and one touchdown in EA Sports’ one-off simulation, which Philly won 31-17 over Kansas City. Unlike many previous Madden simulations of the big game, this one doesn’t appear to come down to one suspenseful final play. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was the game’s MVP, according to Madden 23.

Madden NFL Super Bowl simulation is dated back to 2004. It’s a one-time, CPU-vs.-CPU game played on All-Pro/Simulation difficulty, with six minute quarters, which are the settings for ranked play online.

Kansas City Chiefs fans can take some solace in the fact Madden’s last two predictions have been complete misfires. Last year, the Los Angeles Rams won the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy; Madden said the Cincinnati Bengals would bring it home. Madden predicted a 10 point victory for Kansas City. In 2021, Tom Brady was awarded his seventh Super Bowl Ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Overall, Madden NFL’s simulation is 11-8 straight up, 12-7 against the point spread, and 9-10 against the over/under (total points scored). The Eagles currently stand 1.5 points ahead with 50.5 point over/under. Madden cannot simulate halftime performances of national anthems or national anthems. You’re on your own.

Super Bowl LVII, between Kansas City and Philadelphia, kicks off Saturday, Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m. EST/3:30 p.m. PST, from Phoenix’s State Farm Stadium, which is what they’re now calling the stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play. Rihanna will be performing at halftime. Fox will broadcast the American game, and Greg Olsen and Kevin Burkhardt will be commentating.
