2026 NFL Week 3 Predictions: AI vs. Human

Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers

This article was posted after this game concluded. Myself and the different LLM engines all had the Packers winning. I thought the defense would do better than it did and pull off a close victory at home. 

Winner: Green Bay Packers

Los Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills

The Chargers are 0-2 with bad losses to the Raiders and Cardinals. The Chargers look awful and are going to get torn apart by the Bills.

Carolina Panthers at Cleveland Browns

The Panthers offense looks legit and Bryce Young is playing like a top-5 quarterback. I’m carrying that energy into a week 3 matchup in Cleveland.

New York Jets at Detroit Lions

The Lions are about to put on a clinic against the New York Jets and it won’t be close. The Lions have had a tough start to the year, but the Jets are a cake walk for them.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts

The Texans offense is struggling without Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. The Colts are also dealing with injury in their receiving room with Alec Pierce out. I don’t like either team and this game is truly a toss-up. I’m leaning with the Texans getting their first victory of the season. 

Winner: Houston Texans

Kansas City Chiefs at Miami Dolphins

The Chiefs might have needed overtime to beat the Colts, but they’ll get the job done in regulation and then some against the Dolphins. The Chiefs move to 3-0 in commanding fashion.

Tennessee Titans at New York Giants

The Giants are going to be without Jaxson Dart and this game is going to be dealing with some severe wind conditions. It’s going to be a ground and pound game. Both teams have physical runners, but I’m taking the Titans with Pollard and Spears who have more experience in these situations.

Winner: Tennessee Titans

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Bengals are playing as well as they did during their Super Bowl run back in 2021. The Bengals are one of the teams to beat in the AFC right now and the Steelers are on the decline.

Seattle Seahawks at Washington Commanders

Sam Darnold returns while Jayden Daniels goes out. Two new quarterback situations for both teams and the Seahawks have the better one. The Seahawks absolutely dominate the Commanders playing with backup Marcus Mariota.

New England Patriots at Jacksonville Jaguars

The Patriots and Jaguars both need this victory to move to 2-1. The Jags are playing like the better team right now though, better defense and offense is moving the ball around better. I’m expecting a big day from Parker Washington again, in his WR1 season.

Winner: Jacksonville Jaguars

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers look like a Super Bowl team with two commanding wins thus far. The 49ers are the team to beat in the NFC and the Cardinals will come nowhere close to beating them. 

Winner: San Francisco 49ers

Minnesota Vikings at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Vikings defense is elite. The Vikings defense just shot down the Bears in a 9-3 matchup. The offense might not be clicking on all cylinders, but they don’t need it to. The Vikings shut down Baker Mayfield who just sloppily lost to the Browns.

Winner: Minnesota Vikings

Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys

The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys are facing off against one another in Rio De Janeiro. With no true home team, it’s anyone’s match. This is going to be a high scoring aerial attack. The Ravens might be without Zay Flowers which will be a factor. Even without Flowers, I think the Ravens can pull off the international victory.

Winner: Baltimore Ravens

Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints

The Raiders and Saints have both been surprising this year. The Raiders seem like pretenders, while the Saints feel like contenders. The Saints are the best team in the NFC South and this will be a nice victory for Tyler Shough & company.

Los Angeles Rams at Denver Broncos

The Broncos running back room is all dealing with injuries. Coleman is out on the IR and Harvey & Dobbins will be limited. The Broncos aren’t going to move the ball well against an elite Rams defense.

Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears

The Bears are going to be without Caleb Williams which they aren’t going to be competitive without him. The Bears need Williams back ASAP, and the Eagles are thankful he is out, as they move to 3-0.
