Editor’s note: Follow along for live updates for Super Bowl 60 throughout the day.
A number of NFL analysts – including USA TODAY Sports’ entire six-person expert panel – are backing the Seattle Seahawks to beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. Will artificial intelligence (AI) do the same?
USA TODAY Sports has checked in with Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and Google Gemini to see who the chatbots would back in Super Bowl 60. Thus far, AI hasn’t shown a willingness to stray from the consensus pick, as all three chatbots are backing the Seahawks.
Will ChatGPT buck that trend? It’s hard to imagine that happening, as the AI chatbots pull from human-created content to generate answers to prompts.
Nonetheless, USA TODAY Sports decided to do one last AI experiment on eve of Super Bowl 60. ChatGPT was fed the following prompts about the New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks game to generate its predictions:
ChatGPT was able to easily interpret the prompts, avoiding the pitfalls Large Language Models (LLMs) sometimes have evaluating the latest sports news.
Below is a summation of ChatGPT’s Super Bowl 60 picks, along with a brief, human-crafted analysis of each of the chatbot’s answers.
AI’s take: ChatGPT was quick to note it “can’t actually predict the future with certainty,” but its analysis concluded the Seahawks are the team to beat in Super Bowl 60. The chatbot cited Seattle having “stronger defensive metrics” than New England as its primary reason for backing the Seahawks.
Our take: ChatGPT’s brief analysis is sensible. The Seahawks ranked No. 2 in the NFL in defensive EPA per play during the 2025 season, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, and also sport a top-four pressure rate that could bother Drake Maye.
That said, the Patriots are allowing an average of just 8.7 points per game during the playoffs, so the chatbot’s 27-point projection for the Seahawks may be a tad optimistic.
AI’s take: Once again, ChatGPT looked at the Vegas odds to influence its selection. It noted Darnold is the odds-on MVP favorite and add that quarterbacks have “historically won the Super Bowl MVP award more often than any other position.”
That said, the chatbot also noted Jaxon Smith-Njigba is “a potential game changer” which give him a “plausible” path toward being MVP if Darnold doesn’t get the nod. Drake Maye was also mentioned as the most likely player to take home the award if the Patriots win it all.
Our take: There’s nothing surprising about ChatGPT’s Super Bowl MVP pick. Of the last 10 Super Bowl MVPs, seven have been quarterbacks, so Darnold is as sensible a choice for the award as any – especially considering that the chatbot picking the Seahawks to win Super Bowl 60.
ChatGPT’s selection of Darnold as Super Bowl MVP means that just one of the chatbots USA TODAY Sports tested picked a non-Darnold player to win the award. Google Gemini chose Smith-Njigba to become the ninth-ever receiver to win the award, and since Julian Edelman in Super Bowl 53.
