Super Bowl LIX
Madden NFL 25 predicts Super Bowl LIX winner between Eagles and Chiefs
In a tradition spanning more than 20 years, EA Sports shares its prediction for the winner of Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Since 2004, EA Sports has made it a tradition to simulate the Super Bowl in Madden NFL. As it does every year, Electronic Arts shares its prediction for which team will take home the honor of hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy in its latest Madden NFL simulation. Super Bowl LIX pits the Philadelphia Eagles against the Kansas City Chiefs, so who do you think will win and who should you back? All signs point to a very close game.
According to EA Sports' prediction, the Philadelphia Eagles will end the streak of Patrick Mahomes' team - and Taylor Swift’s fans - in a close game with a score of 23-21. This will happen in a game where the Chiefs will win the first half by a score of 14-10, but the second half will be intense as the Eagles defense will prevent the Chiefs from scoring as much as possible. In the final quarter, despite a Chiefs touchdown, Philadelphia will manage to score a field goal to hold on for the win, and after a Kansas City fail, they will take the trophy. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia’s QB, will also take home the Super Bowl MVP trophy.
