AI Picks for the NFL: Week 7

This has been an excellent week for AI-powered forecasting. Not only is the MLB Swarm perfect so far through the baseball postseason, but the NFL Swarm hit a pair of parlays in Week 6 that paid off quite nicely. The first of those wagers included all four teams named as “Best Bets” in the Week 6 forecast won with very little drama. The second more ambitious wager was a six-team parlay that paid of an incredible 900% ROI.

With those successes in mind, the NFL Swarm sets its sights on Week 7. As you’ll see in the charts, the NFL Swarm expressed this confidence by naming five straight-up matchups as Best Bets, and also its pragmatism by putting just one Against the Spread forecast in the same category.

This blog often focuses on the highest confidence predictions produced by the Swarm AI system. This week, however, it might be illustrative to discuss instead a forecast where the real insight seems to be that no predictive edge can be gained, and the best advice to would-be players would be to simply stay away from the game. In Week 7, the lowest confidence distinction belongs to the game between the Saints and Ravens. Here the NFL Swarm must weigh the high-powered offense led by record-breaking quarterback Drew Brees against the equally stout Ravens defense, which has held half its opponents to single-digits and shut out the Titans last weekend in a 21-0 victory. While the NFL Swarm does eventually reach a Low Confidence forecast for a Saints victory, but the heated battle that precedes the output suggests that there are better places to look for an advantage.

In contrast, the NFL Swarm is much more confident in its support of the Chiefs at home on Sunday night. The excitement of the Patrick Mahomes bandwagon is certainly part of that confidence, but anyone who saw the young quarterback go toe-to-toe with Tom Brady last week can attest to the notion that the future is now for the Chiefs. With that in mind, not even the 4-2 record of the Bengals, who currently sit atop the AFC North, can dissuade the NFL Swarm from labeling the Chiefs the best ATS prediction of the week.

 

Finally, here is the entire Week 7 Against the Spread chart. There are some familiar faces in the top two tiers of confidence, including the Chargers and Eagles, while Minnesota seems to make an appearance mostly due to the fact that they’re playing the Jets.
