989 Sports' The Game Before The Game event took place last night and the results of this pre-Superbowl simulation showed that the Carolina Panthers took the New England Patriots down. The event, which featured New England's Troy Brown and Carolina's Steve Smith battling it out in a Superbowl simulation via NFL GameDay, saw the final score of 29-21 in the Panther's favor. Here's more on what happened from 989 Sports, along with stats for previous simulated Superbowl games:
New England took control early in the game after Antowain Smith broke free for a 45-yard run in the opening play. The Patriots then marched down the field on a five-play drive culminating in a five-yard run from Smith putting them up 7-0. Carolina didn't let up as they evened the score at seven apiece after Stephen Davis ate up the Patriots defense for a 75-yard run right into the end zone capping a three-play drive. It was all knotted up at the end of the first quarter, but would not stay that way for long as the Panthers took control of the game and never looked back.

The tide shifted in Carolina's favor after Antowain Smith fumbled the ball deep in Patriots territory on the first drive of the second quarter. That fumble resulted in another Stephen Davis marathon as he ran 80 yards for a Carolina touchdown on the first play of the series. The Patriots turned the ball over on downs after not being able to capitalize on their next drive, which ended at the end of the first half giving the Panthers the 14-7 edge as they headed into the locker room.

The second half was all Carolina as Davis continued to tear up the New England defensive line with an 82-yard touchdown run on the opening drive. Davis would also run it in for the two-point conversion putting the Panthers up 22-7. New England battled back as Troy Brown had his own number in his sights as Brady completed a 58-yard strike to Brown to put the Pats back in the game just eight points behind. Carolina got the ball back with :07 seconds left in the third quarter and again gave Davis the nod and he came up yet again with a 48-yard TD run putting the game out of reach with a score of 29-14. The Patriots would score again, but could not convert the on-side kick leaving the game with a final of 29-21 as the Carolina Panthers earned the title for the ninth annual 989 Sports Game Before the Game.

"Tonight was exciting for me," said Smith after his victory. "There's a lot of pressure with this event because your teammates need you to come up big. I hope we can keep the streak alive and go 9-0. It was great playing against Troy, now let's just hope we can do the same thing on Sunday."

ESPN had the Panthers winning in their simulation as well. Interesting.

It's interesting, but of course, my girlfriend has picked the last four winners and she doesn't know a thing about football. For the record, she took New England.

It is an interesting thing - even if New England wins, they'll still say next year, "The video game has predicted the winner correctly eight of the last nine!"

And apparently, Haley Joel Osment has correctly predicted something like the last four Super Bowls, and he went with the Patriots this year as well.

What can you say?

At the start of the season ESPN had the Cardinals beating the Bucs in the Superbowl with Emmit scoring the game winning TD, according to their simulation anyway.

Simulations should not be counted on...two years ago if you simulated the Rams vs the Patriots the score would have been vastly different. I am actually going to stick with the Patriots on this one.

Panthers are the better TEAM.

They are young and no one plays like they are the superstar. They play as a team and should win today.

In a few hours we will know.
