Annual EA Super Bowl simulation

The game simulations conducted by EA have predicted six of the last eight Super Bowl winners (both cases where the prediction ran counter to the actual outcome featured wild card teams winning the Super Bowl). EA also releases a computer-generated description of the simulated game as if it were a summary of the real Super Bowl. The results of the simulated and actual Super Bowl games are listed below.
