Being how it’s almost Super Bowl Sunday, why not look at a Super Bowl tech story.

Mike Sachoff at WebProNews writes that EA Sports through simulated play via Madden 08, has predicted that the New England Patriots will beat the New York Giants, 38-30.

EA Sports says the Patriots and Giants got off to a close start with two touchdowns by running back Laurence Maroney and three field goals by Giant’s kicker Lawrence Tynes who helped the Giants get to the Super Bowl by kicking the game winning kick over the Green Bay Packers.

Towards the end of the third quarter the Patriots led by only one 24-23. They added to their lead with a 31-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tom Brady to wide receiver Randy Moss. In the fourth quarter the Giants were down 31-23 and a chance to tie the game. A tipped pass by quarterback Eli Manning dashed those hopes as the Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel made an interception. The Patriots would score one more time to take the lead 38-23.

Apparently they have predicted the correct winners the last 5 years. I personally don’t think we really need a simulation to tell who’s going to win this one. I wish there was a way they could both lose.
