Madden sim makes Super Bowl irrelevant

The scienticians over at EA Sports have run the Madden simulator to predict the outcome of this weekend’s Super Bowl. In a spread-beating upset, they are predicting the Saints to top the Colts 35-31 in an exciting and close-fought game.
The first three quarters display the offensive fireworks that both teams have become known for, with the Colts leading 24-21. A nail biting fourth quarter begins with a big play, courtesy of the Saints’ special teams, when Reggie Bush returns a punt for a 42-yard touchdown. However, with minutes left in the game the duo of Joseph Addai and Peyton Manning put the Colts back on top with a go-ahead touchdown pass. With the game hanging in the balance, Drew Brees hits David Thomas for an 11-yard touchdown and the game winning score. Drew Brees takes home MVP honors as the Saints earn their first Super Bowl Championship title in franchises 46 year history.
I don’t have a particular rooting interest in this game, and it’s almost disappointing because there’s no reason to root against either team. Hating Peyton Manning is like hating the sunrise. Though if I had to choose, I’d be pulling for New Orleans.
