Madden 16 picks Carolina Panthers for Superbowl win

Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos duke it out in Madden 16.

Madden 16, EA's latest installment to the franchise, has decided the winner of Superbowl 50 -- the Carolina Panthers.

Madden has a history of picking winners with alarming accuracy. Last year, the game correctly predicted both the winner and final score of the Superbowl match between the Patriots and the Seahawks (28-24). The win improved their Superbowl prediction record to 9-3.  

According to Madden, here's what's going to happen:

1st Quarter: 10-0 Carolina

Carolina takes an early lead, thanks to a long kick return by Ted Ginn Jr., followed by a touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen. Carolina closes out the quarter with a field goal.

2nd Quarter: 17-0 Carolina

Carolina continues its attack, opening the second quarter with Jonathan Stewart rushing touchdown. Broncos still can't find their way into the end zone. 

3rd Quarter: 17-13 Carolina

Manning and the Broncos come out bucking in the third quarter, not ready to give up without a fight. Manning throws a touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, giving the Broncos their first points. The touchdown is followed up with an interception and two field goals. 

4th Quarter: 20-17 Broncos

The Broncos continue their run, with Manning throwing a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas, to take a 20-17 lead. But with less than a minute left on the clock, Cam Newton takes matters into his own hands, scrambling and leaping over Broncos players to get into the end zone. 

Final Score: 24-20 Panthers
