Denver Broncos are the 2016 Super Bowl Champions, after overcoming the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in last night's NFL season finale. And GamesRadar+ are the 2016 Incredible Sporting Clairvoyance Champions, after predicting the correct winner – and being four points away from the exact score – based on a video game.
The game in question is, of course, Madden NFL 16. EA's official Super Bowl video, posted online last week, had the Panthers to win 24-20. Out of curiosity, I ran a separate AI vs AI test using updated rosters, and got a 24-14 Denver victory.
The GamesRadar+ match played out slightly differently from the real contest. In pretendsville, Peyton Manning threw two picturesque touchdowns en route to an MVP award; in reality, he spent the game barely able to connect with his receivers. Instead, the Broncos' defence, headed by MVP Von Miller, was crucial in the surprise victory.
