The Steel Curtain Rises Again: Madden Predicts A Steelers Win

EA Sports has used iterations of Madden to predict past Super Bowl winners, but we here in the GI offices think that out of all of them, this year's take on Sunday's game has the most realistic-sounding ring to it. At least we *** well hope so.

Madden NFL 11 had the Steelers beating the Packers 24-20 in a tight contest that came down to two crucial drives by both teams in the fourth quarter. The Packers took the lead 20-17 with nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter with an Aaron Rodgers pass to James Jones. After trading possessions for most of the fourth quarter, Steelers' QB Ben Roethlisberger hit Mike Wallace on a 36-yard TD toss with 1:20 to play. Aaron Rodgers tries to mount a comeback, but as he has done numerous times earlier in his career, a crucial interception on the ensuing drive seals the deal for the Steelers.

Check out the video footage of what hopefully might come to pass.

Vikings fans are such haters, wow! Rodgers didn't, and doesn't, throw picks to end the game, that was the quarterback you guys wanted so badly and got nothing out of it, so I don't know where that assumption came from. Pack will win regardless of this prediction.

"of what hopefully might come to pass"? You sound like you might be just a bit biased. And who ran this game - you guys? or the guys at Madden?

by MonsterJam Tuesday, February 01, 2011 at 06:53 PM

it will be close but the packers will win 27-24 with a 39yd field goal with 3:29 left in the 4th
by iceap12 Tuesday, February 01, 2011 at 07:10 PM

Boo! No 7th Super Bowl!! You know, even though you guys hate the Packers, you should want them to win so it makes your division look better.
by Stereochrome Tuesday, February 01, 2011 at 07:30 PM

I can't take the Steelers, partially because of their Quarterback, and partially because I am completely tired of them winning. So, sorry GameInformer, I'm cheering for the Packers here.

I know, blasphemy.
by jonnie Tuesday, February 01, 2011 at 07:31 PM

no, go pac go, the packers will kill( or murder,excite, ect.) the stupid stealers.
