Summary
Copilot projected winners for all 16 Week 2 NFL games, backing the Bills over the Lions in Thursday's opener and the Chiefs over the Colts in another home win for Patrick Mahomes.
The Week 2 slate follows an 11-5 opening week for Microsoft's chatbot, part of USA TODAY Sports' ongoing test of whether the AI overreacts to fresh results.
Its strongest lean came on several home or roster-based edges, including Ravens over Saints, Eagles over Titans, 49ers over Dolphins and Buccaneers over Browns.
The closest calls included Bills-Lions as a near toss-up, Texans-Bengals as a Stroud-Burrow duel, and Cowboys-Commanders as a projected 31-28 divisional shootout.
USA TODAY said Copilot sometimes surfaced outdated player or team information and had to be prompted to correct errors, underscoring limits of LLMs in fast-moving sports coverage.
