The video game has correctly predicted the winner of 10 out of the last 15 Super Bowl games.
Ahead of Super Bowl LIII, the best-selling video game franchise, Madden NFL, released its prediction on who would win the championship.
To predict whether the Los Angeles Rams or New England Patriots would take home the Lombardi Trophy, the video game created a simulation of the game. Ultimately, Madden NFL 19, the latest version of the game to be released, predicted the Rams would beat the Patriots, 30 – 27.
The Patriots will be up at halftime 17-3, but by the third quarter, the two teams will be tied 20-20, Forbes reported the simulation predicted. Although the Rams were predicted to score a 53-yard field goal, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s touchdown pass would bring the score to 27-23 at the fourth quarter.
However, the game-winning play was with the Rams‘ Todd Gurley when he successfully got a five-yard touchdown.
Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams carries the ball during the game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on December 4,2016, in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The video game, Madden NFL 19, predicted the Rams will beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
