What do our beloved AI overlords think about the NFL predictions and the AFC? Like finding fans of Rush, all you need to do is ask once, and an overflow of information hits like a Neal Peart drum solo.
So, who does Grok think will win the AFC and represent at Super Bowl LX at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA?
Stock up on dummied cafeteria tables because Grok says THIS is the Buffalo Bills’ year.
Grok went straight to Josh Allen’s MVP-caliber play, a favorable schedule that should give home-field advantage, improvements on defense, and an inevitable slip by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Perhaps it’s Patrick Mahomes‘ growing beer belly?
ChatGPT had a nearly identical answer.
“Josh Allen’s MVP form, a solid defense, an easier schedule, and prior postseason success make them the most balanced and promising pick,” read Skynet ChatGPT.
So, what about the divisions?
is all about the Buffalo Bills. Both computer models picked the Bills for the above reasons.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers adding the mercurial Aaron Rodgers, it seems the consensus is Baltimore.
“A balanced roster and Lamar Jackson’s regular-season dominance. They finished 2024 with a strong offensive performance, led by Jackson and Derrick Henry, and their defense remains a top unit,” Grok computed. “The Ravens face a competitive division but are projected to edge out rivals due to consistency and coaching under John Harbaugh.”
John Harbaugh. Perhaps Mike Tomlin fans will remind us for the sixth billionth time that Tomlin has never had a losing record.
The AFC North annually produces Super Bowl contenders and not always who we expect … except the Cleveland Browns, whom we never expect.
Our first disagreement. Perhaps the chatbots can interface and have a battle royal? Grok likes the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“…due to positive regression potential and a strong offseason. Their 2024 performance (3-10 in close games) suggests they underperformed their expected wins, and a relatively easy 2025 schedule (six games against teams with 10+ wins in 2024, four at home) boosts their chances,” wrote Elon’s mighty machine. “The hiring of head coach Liam Coen and offensive additions like tight end Evan Engram make them a positive regression candidate.”
However, ChatGPT disagrees. The positive regression thing is tough to swallow. The NFL is full of tight games. Good teams win them; lesser teams do not. But that’s a human’s opinion.
“Stability with C.J. Stroud and a well-rounded offense and defense,” wrote ChatGPT. And, “Consistently winning the division in previous seasons adds credence to their edge.”
Another fight. Grok likes the Denver Broncos and gave a lengthy explanation. Indeed, fans who are Mile High may be chanting De-Fense quite a bit this season, and Bo Nix’s maturation can only help.
“Denver’s elite defense, led by Pat Surtain II, Zach Allen, and new additions like Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa...
