For all of you that are still into the NFL, I dont know what Im doing yet but deepseak is loaded locally and i got this answer:

ed on the comprehensive analysis of various factors including team performance, key players, coaching, home-field advantage, injuries, past matchups, statistics, special teams, and intangibles, it is projected that the Kansas City Chiefs will win the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in February 2025. This prediction takes into account the strong offensive capabilities led by Patrick Mahomes, a formidable defense with key players like Chris Jones and Tyrann Mathieu, and the experienced leadership of head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs' ability to perform under pressure and their historical success in high-stakes games give them an edge in this thrilling matchup.

Final Projection: Kansas City Chiefs will win the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9, 2025.

It gives no detail but essentially gives the game to KC due to the experience of the team and management.

I can see AI has "potential".
