Can you trust Madden NFL 26 to predict the Super Bowl 60 winner?

Per a USA TODAY analysis of Madden NFL video game picks dating back to 2004 — the first year publisher EA ran predictions — the simulation generally beats the odds. Madden has correctly predicted 13 of 22 Super Bowls for a 59% success rate, far eclipsing the 48% pick rate of the Vegas line during the same span, per Pro Football Reference. However, that success hasn’t come without its share of rough patches.
