Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tries to avoid the rush of Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk in the Super Bowl XLV simulation run through 'Madden NFL 11.'
The Pittsburgh Steelers will snag their seventh Super Bowl title this weekend in Dallas -- at least according to Madden NFL 11.
Electronic Arts has unveiled its annual prediction for the outcome of Super Bowl XLV, based on a simulation of the game run through Madden.
The results? The Steelers hang on to defeat the Green Bay Packers 24-20, thanks to a late interception by Aaron Rodgers in the closing moments.
Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace finished as the Super Bowl MVP with five catches for 111 yards and the game-winning touchdown.
Before casting doubt on the accuracy of these prognostications, the Madden NFL simulations have had a pretty strong track record in recent years. EA Sports has nailed down the winner of the Super Bowl six of the past seven years, including last year.
The lone miss happened during Super Bowl XLII, when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots.
EA has also posted a video recap of its Super Bowl XLV prediction:
