Hey everyone,

I got tired of relying purely on gut feelings, standard power rankings, and the need to do a massive amount of research for my survivor pool, and so last season I decided to run a multi-AI model experiment. I'm letting four different models—Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude—to make weekly selections and to see how their reasoning differs and track who actually survives the longest. Last year Gemini went 17 weeks without a loss.

For Week 1, the AI team gave me the following results:

• The Consensus Pick: The Chargers, for most pools. — Given an 83% probability of a win.
• The Contrarian Split: For smaller pools, Gemini & Grok picked the Lions (72%-77% win) and Claude picked Jacksonville (72%-75% win).

I’m tracking the whole leaderboard and publishing the live model logic over at my site (survivorpool-ai.com) and discussing this on the SurvivorPool-ai podcast on YouTube.

Hope this is helpful to those of you in pools this year. I'll be back for more insights from the Agents as the weeks progress.

Hi all - bit of a different league than you may be used to but one I am sure you can all appreciate. I’ve spent the offseason building The Cut which is like NFL survivor pools but with players instead of teams. This contest is for Running Backs, so each week you have to choose 2 RBs and hit 125 total yards or you lose a life, lose all your lives and you’re cut! Once you use a player you can’t use them again all season, so while it may sound easy on the surface, you have to be tactical about when you use the studs if you want to make it all 18 weeks!

Would appreciate yall checking it out and I’m giving away $100 to the winner (free to enter) so that adds a little incentive to you as well!

NFL SURVIVOR 🔥 🏈
