AI struggles to accurately predict 2025 NFL season outcomes

Summary

Google's Gemini AI attempted to predict the 2025 NFL season standings but only accurately forecasted four teams' records. The Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers matched their predicted outcomes, achieving a 12.5% accuracy rate., the Eagles were the only correct division winner for Gemini, which miscalculated several teams, including the eventual Super Bowl champion Seahawks, whom it predicted would finish last in their division. As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the effectiveness of AI in making accurate long-term predictions remains in question.
