Swarming the NFL: AI Picks for Week 8

We’re almost to the halfway point in the NFL season, and the weekly swarm of NFL fans who use our Swarm AI platform to predict games seems to be finding their way nicely now. Last week the swarm put up an 11-4 record straight up, while going 8-5 against the spread (with two push results). Although this season has seen wildly inconsistent play from week to week for various teams, the swarm’s performance has steadily improved. Here’s how the group sees this weekend’s contests.

The game atop our straight up chart probably isn’t much of a surprise. The Eagles appear to be very much for real this year, and San Francisco seems to be playing the toughest schedule in either league. In the replay below you can see how rapidly a consensus forms for the Eagles, with almost all of the magnets on the Philly side of that hex diagram.

Last week was also a good one for the swarm’s picks against the spread. The swarm posted an 8-5 record and nearly won two other games that ended up in the “push” category. While we again want to caution that spread plays carry a great deal of risk, we’d be remiss if we didn’t show the swarm’s predictions for this weekend:

 

This week there’s nothing that really jumps out among the swarm’s spread picks. The group was fairly cautious, seeing numerous spots where the spread number simply went too large to confidently recommend a play. Although the swarm made Kansas City their spread pick of the week, we’re also interested in their pick of the Steelers -3 in Detroit. The brainpower on that pick is 83, and the wagering confidence is on the low end. But looking at the replay below, you can see that there are actually a lot of magnets on the Pittsburgh side of the hex. That kind of momentum makes this a higher confidence prediction on deeper analysis than would be otherwise immediately apparent.
