In the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era, all six of the Patriots Super Bowl appearances have been decided by four points or fewer. Madden 17 believes that will continue in SBLI -- and, like most of New England's Super Bowl showdowns, it believes Sunday's matchup will go down to the wire.

During our final sim of the year, the Patriots led 20-17 and had the ball inside their own 10 when the two-minute warning struck. But Atlanta's defense was up to the task. Tom Brady and Co. went three and out and hand to punt; the Falcons used all three of their timeouts to prevent the clock from running out.

Then, on the first play of the ensuing drive, with 1:29 left in regulation, Matt Ryan fired a 48-yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones. Matt Bryant Bryant's extra point gave Atlanta a four-point edge with just 90 seconds remaining in the fourth.
