Madden '21 has already made its pick for the upcoming Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. According to Michael Rothstein of ESPN, Madden's official simulation of the championship game featured the Chiefs emerging victorious on a 37-27 win over the Buccaneers to grab their second straight title.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes reportedly scored the go-ahead touchdown pass in the final frame to lift his team to a 34-27 lead. A successful field goal attempt ultimately put the finishing touches to the game which ended in a 37-27 decision.

Mahomes finished the simulation game as the MVP with a stat line of 422 yards on 31-of-41 passes along with four touchdowns. He reportedly threw touchdown passes to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, tight end Travis Kelce, and two to wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

On the other end, Tom Brady came out with 322 yards on a 30/44 passing clip to go with three touchdowns and an interception. Wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin along with tight end Rob Gronkowski were all recipients of touchdown passes from Brady in the simulation game.

Last season, the Madden 21 simulation managed to pick the correct Super Bowl LIV winner which resulted in the Chiefs beating the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes was hailed as the game's MVP, which also turned out to be the case in the actual Super Bowl game.

Prior to last season, the video game didn't get to pick the correct winners in the two previous Super Bowl tilts. In Super Bowl LII, the simulation resulted in the New England Patriots defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, which failed to happen in reality as the Eagles beat the Patriots on a 41-33 victory.

In Super Bowl LIII, the simulation picked the Los Angeles Rams over the Patriots, which wasn't the case as the Patriots dealt the Rams with a 13-3 drubbing in the actual game.

The Chiefs and the Buccaneers will match up in the actual Super Bowl LV on Feb. 7. at Tampa Bay, Florida.
