Madden's Super Bowl 59 Prediction Was Right--Eagles Beat The Chiefs And Hurts Wins MVP

Super Bowl LIX took place on Sunday, February 9, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles duking it out for the title. EA's 2025 simulation using Madden NFL 25 predicted the Eagles would beat the Chiefs by a score of 23-21. In reality, the Eagles did win. By a much bigger margin of 40-22. The simulation also predicted that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts would be named Super Bowl LIX MVP--and he was.

The game was predicted by Madden--and many others--to be a close one. However, it was not. The Eagles blew out the Chiefs, with Kansas City only putting up big numbers in the game's garbage time to make the score look closer than it was in reality.

With an accurate prediction, EA's Madden Super Bowl simulation has now been correct two years in a row, as it also predicted the Chiefs would win 2024's Super Bowl, which they did.

EA's predictions in the past have been eerily accurate, like in 2015 when the simulation predicted the Patriots' comeback victory against the Seattle Seahawks--and the final score--along with the exact type of pass play that made it happen. It was spooky. But EA isn't always that accurate with its predictions. Sometimes, the simulation gets it very, very wrong.

As you'll see below, EA's track record for predicting the winner has been a mix.

EA got off to a hot start by accurately predicting the Super Bowl winners four straight years, from Super Bowl 38 to Super Bowl 41. Since then, however, the simulation never got it right more than two years in a row, but it also never got it wrong for more than two straight years.

Off the field, companies spent as much as $8 million for 30-second advertisements on Fox, which carried the game this year.
