Madden Predicts Steelers Will Win... What About You?
Madden Predicts Steelers Will Win... What About You?
February 1, 2009
The Pittsburgh Steelers will win Super Bowl XLIII by a score of XXVIII - XXIV.
At least, that's the word from EA Sports. The publisher used its best-selling Madden NFL 2009 to predict the outcome of today's big game.
An EA Sports press release says that the game will be close:
Holding off a fourth quarter comeback by the Cardinals, the Steelers bring the Vince Lombardi trophy back to the Steel City for the second time in the past four years and for a sixth time in franchise history, setting an NFL record.
GP: So, GamePolitics readers, who do you think will win? Leave a comment with your prediction of the final score...

Valdearg: If they really wanted to help the troops, they should donate their money to a legitimate charity with a good cash in/out ratio.

Valdearg: It's just offensive that people who attend these things think they are helping the troops, when in reality, Hannity is using MOST of the money to live large in the cities he travels to. He could at least scale down his accommodations..

Andrew Eisen: Val - But they did get something and that's better than nothing. Also, the Freedom Concert site is clear that expenses are subtracted from the donated amount so while it’s not fraud (from what little I’ve seen) it is pretty crummy.

Valdearg: The problem, Zip, is that barely ANY of the proceeds are going to the children. It's all going so hannity can line his own pockets and enjoy a life of luxury. He is a grade A Piece of Human Crap.

Valdearg: On top of that, the children of fallen soldiers who DID recieve money for school only recieved a pittance. Often less than 1000 dollars, and no child recieved more than 6000, which is not nearly enough to pay for an education.

Valdearg: The fact that Hannity's charity only does 4-7%, and he uses a lot of the other money for luxury travel and accomodations for himself and his friends. That's just fraud, no matter how you put it.

Valdearg: Woah Zip. Broken record mode. There are many, many other charities that can pull off a 50% or better donation rate with the money they are given.

Valdearg: Lmao. I was just permabanned from the hannity forums for asking about her article. It was politely worded, and I made sure to imply that I was conservative. Seems to me like Hannity is in full damage control, at the moment.

Valdearg: CONSERVATIVE blogger Debbie Schlussel out's Sean Hannity's Freedom Concerts as a SCAM! As little as 4% and 7% of the money collected in some years actually went to the benefits of the charity. A MUCH larger percentage was spent on luxuries for Hannity.

Steelers by 7 to 10.
It all depends on the ability of the Steelers to pressure Warner and force turnovers. If they can keep him off balance, the Steelers win going away, 30 - 13.
If not, I see a closer game with the Steelers winning 24 -20.

Lord help me, but I'm seeing red, 27-20.
Cardinals 27, Steelers 24
Geaux Saints, Geaux Tigers, Geaux Hornets, Jack Thompson can geaux chase a chupacabra.
I was gonna use my old school Football Handheld from Mattel. The one with a bunch of little lights that are supposed to represent players and the football.
I really don't care as I'm not into sports at all. And whenever the Superbowl comes up, I always think of Andy Milonakis' "Superbowl is Gay" song.
If I do watch it at all, it'll be for the commercials, especially the movie trailers. A lot of the ones they'll be showing are for ones I'm especially interested in seeing including Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, Race to Witch Mountain and Land of the Lost. Then again, I can see them all online if I miss them.
So what's the context? Do these Madden "official pre-plays" have any record of accurate predictions?
yeah, they say they've picked 4 of last 5 winners.
WHo cares about football?

Aw, we've always had a bit o' fun on Super Bowl Sunday...
That doesn't really answer his question though, does it.

I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.
Do... Do you actually want a list of who cares?
Its not spam, its discontent with ham. :P
Steelers will win. Score is irrelevant.

anytime score is irrelevant, I think of this:
Marge: So many choices... Can't I just bet that all the horses will have a good time?
Bookie: You want that line. (Points over to the counter labeled "Wuss Bets")
岩「…Where do masochists go when they die?」
I never liked football. On the rare occasion that I did end up watching, I always rooted for the clock.
I think I'll play No More Heroes tonight instead.
*yawns* Well, I might give GTA some attentio nadn get more pigeons
If I end up doing anything today, I will probably be playing Metroid Prime. Stupid Meta Ridley killed me last time I played him.

Lemme guess, Prime 1, right? Easy kill. Plasma Beam, not Super Missiles. Saves your Missiles for when you need them. Prime 3 can be a bit of trouble. I'll save my advice for Meta Ridley in that game for when you reach it.

Steelers by 10 to beat the spread.
And I've mentioned it practically every time I came around over the past week, but a certain armchair ex-lawyer had the Cards by 14 in one of his rambling meta-posts on the NY game bill story. I couldn't drag out a further explanation from him, unfortunately.

Personally, I saw his prediction as a thinly veiled analogy to himself, you know with the underdog pulling out the win and all.
Then again, maybe I'm giving Jack a little too much credit.

even tho i dont like football i use to in arizona so im hoping the Cardinals win just of that more of a baseball fan go arizona d-backs lol. which suxs becuse living in oklahoma and not having a pro baseball team. hopefully we get one.
Thanks Zaruka
Wow just subtract 1 point from each team.

That's pretty amazing - only one point difference for each team. Maybe it's time to retire the real superbowl and just go with the Madden one. Then maybe we can reintroduce cricket to America, LOL.
