Madden Predicts Results: Kansas City Chiefs VS Titans
Madden 15 did not correctly guess the score but it was right about the outcome of this game as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. I decided to dive in to the statistics to see just how accurate the Madden sim was to the actual game and the results may surprise you.

Final Score
Sim: Titans 17 – Chiefs 9
Reality: Titans 26 – Chiefs 10
The sim correctly predicted the outcome and only missed the point total by 10 total points including only missing the Chiefs total by 1 point.
Team Statistics

Turnovers
Sim: Chiefs 4 – Titans 0
Reality: Chiefs 3 – Titans 0
When it comes to yardage it seems the sim had things backwards, if you flip the sims stats it is pretty accurate. The turnovers were almost perfect as well, but it is how those turnovers happened that makes the sims’ prediction scary accurate.
Individual Player Statistics
Passing
Sim: Alex Smith 238 Yards, o TD, 3 INT – Jake Locker 180 Yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Reality: Alex Smith 202 Yards, 1 TD, 3 INT – Jake Locker 266 Yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Wow! The sim was 1 garbage time Alex Smith touchdown pass away from being perfect on both QB’s TD and INT stats. The Alex Smith yardage wasn’t too far off either.
Rushing
Sim: Jamaal Charles 15 Carries, 78 Yards, 5.2 YPC, 0 TD – Dexter McCluster 18 Carries, 42 Yards, 2.3 YPC, 0 TD
Reality: Jamaal Charles 7 Carries, 19 Yards, 2.7 YPC, 0 TD – Dexter McCluster 9 Carries, 29 Yards, 3.2 YPC, 0 TD
Not even the sim could predict the lack of carries for Jamaal Charles.
Receiving
Sim: Donnie Avery 7 Receptions, 89 Yards, 0 TD – Nate Washington 4 Receptions, 35 Yards, 1 TD
Dexter McCluster 3 Receptions, 38 Yards, 1 TD
Reality: Donnie Avery 7 Receptions 84 Yards, 0 TD – Nate Washington 4 receptions, 59 Yards, 0 TD
Dexter McCluster 1 Reception, 17 Yards, 0 TD
The sim nearly got the Donnie Avery stat line perfect, missing by only 5 yards. The sim also correctly predicted that Avery would be the leading receiver in the game as the next closest was Justin Hunter with 63 Yards.
Defense
Sim: Tamba Hali 1 sack – Allen Bailey 1 sack
Reality: Tamba Hali 0 sacks – Allen Bailey 1 sack
While Tamba Hali didn’t register a sack he was close a few times and caused pressure a majority of the game. The scary statistic is it predicted Allen Bailey to have 1 sack and not only that but it predicted him to have the first sack of the game and the Chiefs season, which was exactly right.
Special Teams
Sim: Cairo Santos 3-3 FG %100 – Ryan Succop 1-1 FG %100
Reality: Cairo Santos 1-2 FG %50 – Ryan Succop 4-4 FG %100
The sim clearly didn’t account for the jitters the rookie would have and the thirst for revenge Succop would have. This may be the most inaccurate part of the sim.
All things considered I think the sim did very well to predict the outcome of the game. Keep your eyes peeled for the Chiefs vs Broncos Madden 15 prediction later in the week.
