Madden NFL 23 Prediction for Super Bowl LVII is in - Eagles win, Jalen Hurts MVP

EA Sports' popular sim doesn't have a very good track record in predicting Super Bowls, however, so it may be wise to hold of any parade planning

The Eagles will win Super Bowl LVII and Jalen Hurts will be the MVP.

Oh, and Sunday’s game won’t be close.

All this according to Madden NFL 23, EA Sports’ popular American football sim

The game predicts that the Eagles will win, 31-17, to take their second Super Bowl championship in five years.

Jalen Hurts will throw for 282 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 26-of-32 passes and rushing 10 times for 88 yards and another TD.

Madden NFL 23 goes on to predict a 10-10 halftime and that Patrick Mahomes will throw a TD to Travis Kelce, but also an interception.

An interception would be an interesting development for the Eagles, who have yet to have one of those in their three previous Super Bowl visits.

Before planning that Super Bowl parade to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it should be pointed out that Madden 23 NFL doesn’t have the best track record of predicting such things.

Madden picked the wrong team the previous two seasons

It had the Cincinnati Bengals beating the LA Rams in last year’s Super Bowl and thought the Chiefs would conquer the Bucs two seasons ago. Wrong both times.

The only time Madden has been right the past five years was in the 2019 season when it correctly predicted that the Chiefs would beat the 49ers. It even correctly predicted that Mahomes would be the game’s MVP.

Prior to that, however, Madden had Super Bowl LII gong to the Patriots over the Eagles.

Every Eagles fan knows how that turned out: Eagles 41, Patriots 33.

So, take Madden’s prediction for Super Bowl LVII for at it’s worth, which might not be much, or maybe it happens.
