For its debut entry, Bing’s Copilot has flown into our competition with an optimistically unique approach, setting the bar high for itself. Unlike our human players, it sees the season through an algorithmic lens, unconstrained by trends or expert opinions. And oh boy, does it show!
Now, imagine the Chiefs flying high at a perfect 17-0. Not only does Copilot foresee them going undefeated, but it’s clearly also predicting Mahomes will throw a touchdown pass from the parking lot. Meanwhile, the poor Texans are apparently prepping for an 0-17 parade, because, according to Copilot, they won’t even win a coin toss.
Oh, but that’s not all! The Jets? Copilot thinks they’re gunning for a historic 1-16 record. And the Packers? Somehow going 15-2 with or without the discount double-check. Clearly, this robot knows something about Green Bay that none of us mere humans do.
While the Bills cruise through the AFC East at 16-1, the Commanders and Giants are destined to spend the season fighting over third place at 3-14 each. And don’t even get us started on the Browns and Steelers pulling twin 5-12 seasons. Even Cleveland fans are going, “Yeah, that tracks."
Now, let’s talk differences. You might notice some stark contrasts between Copilot’s visionary standings and those made by, you know, actual humans. For instance, while the consensus predicts a strong Texans team at 12-5, Copilot is convinced they’ll be auditioning for the next season of “Hard Knocks” by losing every single game. Meanwhile, Vikings fans are in for a wild ride as they go from a respectable consensus prediction of 13-4 to Copilot’s reality-bending 4-13.
At the end of the day, we can only marvel at the confidence it takes to be so drastically different. But let’s be real: these picks are so wild that Copilot has already withdrawn its entry out of embarrassment. Even the algorithm is throwing its hands up like, “What did I just do?”
