A simulation of tomorrow's championship game run in 'Madden' by publisher Electronic Arts Inc showed the Patriots taking an early lead with two touchdowns by running back Laurence Maroney.
The Giants pulled within one point in the third quarter, but a pass from quarter-back Tom Brady to receiver Randy Moss helped make the Patriots the first team to record a perfect 19-0 season, EA said in a statement.
EA said 'Madden' has picked the Super Bowl winners for five years running, which spells bad news for Wall Street.
There are those who believe Super Bowl results influence the stock market.
On average, the market goes up after the Giants win the Super Bowl, and down when they lose. The opposite is true for the Patriots.
The Giants have won two Super Bowls (1987, 1991) and lost one (2001).
On average, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 6.3 per cent in the years when the Giants won. It fell 17.3 per cent in the year after they lost.
The Patriots have won three (2002, 2004, 2005) and lost two (1986, 1997). On average, the S&P has fallen 3.8 per cent after wins by the Patriots.
After the Patriots lose, the index has been up an average of 27 per cent.
