Instant classic. That’s what fans are calling Green Bay’s scintillating 34-31 win in Dallas on Sunday. The Cowboys were the #1 seed, playing at home, a consensus 4-point favorite according to Vegas sportsbooks. But Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were not to be denied. Researchers at Unanimous A.I. were among the few NOT surprised. On August 31, before a single NFL game was played, they predicted the Packers to win the Super Bowl, a fact that was documented by this ESPN story.

UNU from Unanimous A.I. predicted Green Bay Packers before start of NFL season

You may have heard of Unanimous A.I. because their A.I. made amazing predictions in 2016, including turning $20 into $10,800 by making a perfect Superfecta pick for the Kentucky Derby, and their perfect prediction of the full baseball post-season, done three months in advance based on a challenge from the Boston Globe.  But that was 2016.  What’s new for 2017?

Over the last two weeks, Unanimous has aimed its Swarm A.I. on the NFL playoffs and so far, the results are perfect.  The swarm has correctly picked all 8 playoff games, some against the Vegas spread, others straight up, depending on confidence and conviction.  What does this mean in terms of beating the Vegas odds?  Check this out…

To document their picks against the odds, researchers made a $5 wager each week – as a parlay for the four games combined.  Like a perfect Superfecta of four horses, this combination reveals the odds of getting all games picks correct.  This weekend, not only did the A.I. correctly predict the underdog Packers and underdog Steelers to win, but they had the conviction to pick the Patriots to cover a 16 point spread. Here is the betting slip from the $5 wager.

Their $5 bet returned $47.26, an ROI of 945%. Predictions were published beforehand in this blog post. Any reader who had bet $100 on this recommendation would have won $945. In a world where gamblers are happy to win anything, this is nothing short of phenomenal. Their Wild Card weekend record was almost as impressive. Again, they posted a 4-0 mark, but only returned $28.69 on their $5 bet, for a cool 574% ROI on this parlay bet.

How did they do it?  Unanimous has spent years building a Swarm A.I. platform called UNU. It’s an online environment that empowers groups to think together by forming real-time intelligent systems, connected from all around the world. Using UNU, groups of friends, colleagues, or strangers can tap their collective wisdom to answer questions, reach decisions, or make predictions. And it works, making groups smarter together. Now Unanimous A.I. is partnering with companies who want to leverage Swarm A.I. to gain insights into their businesses, by using its Swarm Insight service.
