In the U.S., the Super Bowl is practically a national holiday…that takes place on Sunday so no one actually gets an extra day off. But if you still haven’t placed your bets on who will win this year, you may want to consider a recent test EA decided to run. Using their game, Madden 08, EA ran a simulation pitting the New England Patriots against the the New York Giants using their current rosters and stats. And the winner? *Drumroll sound* The Patriots by a narrow margin of 38-30. Granted this is all a simulation being run just for fun, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the outcome were different if it were run again. Personally, I’ll still be rooting for my favorite Super Bowl team: the commercials (Woo! Go, beer ads!).
Highlights from the simulation can be seen below.

HD-DVD have got a 30s commercial slot which apparently cost them $3m and is probably the biggest waste of money you will see this year
