The Carolina Panthers are the new Super Bowl champions. Well, according to EA Sports’ “Madden NFL 16” predictions they are.

In this round of predictions, “Madden” foresees a 24-20 victory for Carolina. Newton was crowned Super Bowl MVP after completing 19 of 26 passes for 216 yards with a touchdown and interception in the simulation.

Manning finished completed 21 of 37 passes to tally 241 yards, a touchdown and an interception for Denver.
