The New England Patriots are destined to win the upcoming Super Bowl XLIX 28-24 against the Seattle Seahawks, according to EA Sports’ simulation run in Madden NFL 2015.

The virtual game is a nail-biter. The Seahawks took the lead by halftime, holding it until Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis intercepts a pass from Russell Wilson early in the fourth quarter, allowing the Pats to take control of the ball and Julian Edelman to slip through the Seahawks defenses for a last-second, game winning touchdown. Tom Brady was named MVP. Thrilling stuff, and scientifically verified as a rigorous simulation for conditions like ball pressure.

With the knowledge that the Patriots’ victory is secure, this Sunday you can relax and focus on the important parts of the holiday: Friends, snacks, puppies and commercials.
