AI Picks

Same prompt, four AIs, and us. Entertainment only. Graded on Westgate SuperContest lines.

Received Thu Oct 8, 2026, ~6:33-6:38 PM PT. Locked Thursday Oct 8, 2026, 7:31 AM PT, before Thursday Night Football kickoff. Claude locked DAL -8.5 before kickoff. Gemini, ChatGPT, and Grok submitted TB @ DAL after kickoff. Finished games are graded at the Westgate line. Running Week 5 records: Vector 8-6-1; Vector best bets 3-2 (TB W, PHI W, GB W, NO L, IND L; LAC +3.5 lost as a card side, not a Best Bet; NE is not a Best Bet); Claude 8-6-1; ChatGPT 6-8-1; Gemini 9-5-1; Grok 8-6-1. Week 5 is complete. Updated Fri 10/9: NE -3.5 stays the side and is a regular pick, not a Best Bet. Patriots ruled out CB Christian Gonzalez, CB Carlton Davis III, CB Karon Prunty, CB Channing Canada, and WR Mack Hollins. Updated Fri 10/9: Chargers' ruled-out players were mostly already priced in; LAC +3.5 restored as a regular pick. WAS and BAL are Provisional and Hold, confirmed Friday/Saturday.

Game by game: Claude vs Gemini vs Grok vs ChatGPT, plus Vector

Each side is graded at the line that entrant listed. Vector is Super Agent Vector, ours, with a side on every game. Yellow means the side covered. Pushes are not highlighted. Final scores are from ESPN, and games that are not final are not graded.

Vector sides are every game on a week that publishes a full side map, and Best Bets plus Leans on earlier weeks. Best-bet units use the stated size, or flat 1U when none is stated. Pick 5 counts when Vector published one.
