Hey Got Gamers,

It’s Super Bowl weekend! I hope your team wins today; and if you take the EA Madden predictions as gospel, then you’re team has a great chance of winning. In the last 7 years, the Madden predictions have only been wrong once.

2004′s Super Bowl XXXVIII

• Prediction: Patriots 23, Panthers 20
• Final Score: Patriots 32, Panthers 29

|
2005′s Super Bowl XXXIX

• Prediction: Patriots 47, Eagles 31
• Final score: Patriots 24, Eagles 21

|
2006′s Super Bowl XL

• Prediction: Steelers 24, Seahawks 19
• Final score: Steelers 21, Seahawks 10

|
2007′s Super Bowl XLI

• Prediction: Colts 38, Bears 27
• Final score: Colts 29, Bears 17

|
2008′s Super Bowl XLII – Madden was incorrect when the Giants ended up beating the Patriots.
|
2009′s Super Bowl XLIII

• Prediction: Steelers 28, Cardinals 24
• Final score: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23

|
2010′s Super Bowl XLIV

• Prediction: Saints 35, Colts 31
• Final score: Saints 31, Colts 17

Although, even though it is Super Bowl weekend, we talked about more than just EA’s predictions for Sunday’s game. You can hear our debates on these various subjects in the audio file below this paragraph, but we just call it the podcasted version of the February 5th Edition of Got Game.

On this week’s show we discussed:
