Reasoning
01
GPT-6 Luna
Los Angeles Chargers win
27–23
56%
The Chargers receive a meaningful SoFi Stadium edge in a Week 1 matchup with limited current-form information. Recent meetings have been close, so Arizona should score consistently, but Los Angeles is the slightly stronger home-side projection.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
58%
Chargers open at home with Herbert and a strong defensive line; close H2H history suggests a tight, low-scoring opener favoring the hosts.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
61%
The Chargers hold home-field advantage at SoFi Stadium, with a balanced run-first scheme that controls tempo against Arizona's dynamic offense in a close season opener.
04
Grok 4.7
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–17
58%
Week 1 at SoFi favors the Chargers; 2024 H2H was 17-15, so another tight, modest-scoring game with a home finish fits rusty September play.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
60%
Chargers get a small edge at SoFi with a balanced offense and stronger defense, while Arizona's Kyler Murray keeps it close but falls short.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
58%
Chargers at SoFi Stadium with home-field advantage in Week 1; H2H shows close contests, but LA's roster edge and venue give a slight nod.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
60%
Home field and recent close H2H favor Chargers in tight Week 1 game.
08
Kimi K3
Los Angeles Chargers win
27–20
60%
Chargers at SoFi with the stronger roster and home edge; Cardinals have won recent tight H2H meetings, so expect a competitive one-possession game rather than a blowout.
09
GLM 5.3
Los Angeles Chargers win
24–20
58%
Week 1 with limited form data; Harbaugh-built Chargers defense and SoFi home edge tilt a tight matchup, though recent H2H games have been close, so a one-score margin fits.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Los Angeles Chargers win
23–20
58%
Recent H2H games show tight margins; Chargers' home venue at SoFi provides a slight advantage in this Week 1 opener.
