Reasoning
01
GPT-6 Luna
Detroit Lions win
27–23
56%
Detroit’s unbeaten home record, explosive offense, and Goff’s 14-to-0 touchdown-interception line counter Minnesota’s stronger start and defense. The Vikings’ low recent scoring and red-zone efficiency make a modest Lions edge plausible at Ford Field.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Detroit Lions win
27–20
60%
Lions' explosive offense (Goff, Gibbs, St. Brown) and home dominance outweigh Vikings' unbeaten record, which relies on a low-powered offense averaging just 17 ppg recently.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Detroit Lions win
24–20
56%
Detroit's elite offense (30.6 ppg) and strong red-zone efficiency at Ford Field give them an edge against Minnesota's undefeated, top-tier defense in a tightly contested divisional clash.
04
Grok 4.7
Detroit Lions win
24–20
57%
Lions' home scoring (30.6 last 5) and 68% red-zone rate should beat Minnesota's 6-0 defense that scores 17.2 and converts only 30% in the red zone.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Detroit Lions win
27–20
58%
Detroit's high-powered passing attack and 3-0 home record offset Minnesota's unbeaten start; Vikings' low red-zone efficiency and modest offense suggest they fall short at Ford Field.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Detroit Lions win
24–17
60%
Lions' elite offense (Goff 0 INT, 68% red zone) at home should overcome Minnesota's stingy defense; Vikings' limited passing attack (162 yds/gm) caps their ceiling.
07
Meta Muse Spark 1.3
Detroit Lions win
24–20
54%
Lions 3-0 at Ford Field with Goff at 14 TD 0 INT meets 6-0 Vikings allowing 10.4 lately; home offense should edge low-volume Minnesota attack.
08
Kimi K3
Detroit Lions win
27–20
58%
Detroit's elite passing attack (Goff 298 YPG, 14 TD) and home dominance (3-0) outweigh Minnesota's unbeaten record built on weak offensive output (17.2 PPG) and Kyler Murray's struggles.
09
GLM 5.3
Minnesota Vikings win
20–21
55%
Vikings are 6-0 with an elite defense (10.4 allowed) and won both 2025 meetings; Lions' home form and Goff's clean passing keep it close but Detroit's 27 allowed per game tips it.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Detroit Lions win
24–17
58%
Goff's 14-0 TD-INT form and Detroit's 3-0 home record outweigh Minnesota's unbeaten start; Vikings' 30% red-zone rate and 17.2 PPG offense limit them at Ford Field.
