The result to one of the biggest sporting events of the year is in: the New England Patriots have won Super Bowl XLIX.

Well, that's according to the wildly popular Madden NFL 15 game, at least.

EA Sports have run a simulation ahead of Sunday's massive contest in Arizona where the Patriots will meet the Seattle Seahawks.

According to the simulation, the Rob Gronkowski will give the Patriots a first quarter lead with a superb one-handed catch. However, the Seahawks fight back with Tom Brady throwing a pick-six to Earl Thomas III to give Seattle a three-point lead at the interval.

Seattle then push further in front with Marshawn Lynch scoring a typically Beast Mode-esque touchdown to make the score 24-14 at the end of the third period.

With Seattle's smothering defence, one might expect the scoring to be finished.

But wily veteran Tom Brady, 37, still had a trick or two up his sleeve. A field goal put the Patriots within touching distance before Brady found Julian Edelman for a late, late score to win the game.

Brady was named the game's MVP thanks to his 335-yard, four touchdown performance.
