'Madden' predicts Panthers will win Super Bowl

Hope you like Cam Newton doing the dab, because if Madden NFL is right, the Carolina Panthers will score their first Super Bowl victory.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appears on the cover of Madden NFL 16.

A simulation of the pro football video game predicts the Panthers will top the Denver Broncos 24-20 in Super Bowl 50.

According to the simulation, the Panthers jump out to a 17-0 lead at halftime before the Broncos score 20 unanswered points to claim their first lead. But with under a minute left, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton dives into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown.

Newton took home the Most Valuable Player trophy, finishing with 216 yards, one touchdown and one interception, according to the simulation. Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning threw for 241 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

Electronic Arts, the makers of the game, have a pretty good track record with Super Bowl predictions, correctly guessing winners nine of the last 12 years. Last year, the Madden sim was eerily accurate, nailing the final score and missing on Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady's passing numbers by seven yards.

So, you may see a lot this Super Bowl Sunday:
