People will gamble on anything. Which horse can run around a dirt track fastest? Who can eat the most hot dogs in 10 minutes? What number will a little white ball fall on in a big spinning wheel in a Vegas casino?
Some of the biggest bets will happen this weekend on Super Bowl Sunday, and no matter what the sports bookies say, two things are certain: There will be elated winners and more than a few sore losers. While it’s impossible to predict the exact outcome of the game, AI systems might have a unique ability to parse information and statistics, giving the average Joe a better grasp of what’s possible on game day.
Here’s how I used four AI chatbots — ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Claude AI — to try to predict the 2026 Super Bowl.
Guessing and gambling can be fun as an adjunct to sports, but if you’re doing it for money, please be responsible. Also, be very aware that generative AI makes mistakes and, like the outcomes of sporting events, can be unpredictable in gambling and other ventures.

The outcome: Seattle Seahawks win on 27 points
This is where the predictions started to get interesting: All four AI systems made the same predictions for who would win the 2026 Super Bowl and, what’s more, almost exactly the same predictions for the end score.
According to ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Claude AI, the Seattle Seahawks will win against the New England Patriots, either 27-23 or 27-24.
When asked to generate the reasoning behind these startlingly similar predictions, all the AI systems gave different answers.
