GPT-6 Luna
Chicago Bears win
24–25
58%
Chicago has won the last three completed meetings, including a 36-10 result in 2024, though Carolina’s home venue and Week 1 uncertainty should keep this competitive rather than producing another large margin.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Carolina Panthers win
24–20
54%
Week 1 opener at home for Carolina; Bears have history of slow starts, Panthers' young core benefits from home crowd advantage.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Chicago Bears win
20–24
62%
Chicago holds a stronger defensive baseline and offensive ceiling, continuing their recent head-to-head advantage over Carolina despite opening on the road.
04
Grok 4.7
Chicago Bears win
20–24
56%
Bears took the last three regular-season meetings, including at Bank of America Stadium. Week 1 2026 form is unknown, so a modest Chicago road win at a typical NFL pace.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Chicago Bears win
20–24
57%
Bears have won the last two regular-season meetings and look slightly more settled entering Week 1, but Carolina's home opener should keep this close.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Chicago Bears win
17–20
52%
Bears have dominated recent H2H matchups including a 36-10 blowout in 2024. Both teams are rebuilding, but Chicago's slight roster edge and recent head-to-head success give them a narrow road victory.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
Chicago Bears win
17–24
60%
Bears' recent dominance outweighs home edge; close game expected.
08
Kimi K3
Chicago Bears win
23–27
58%
Chicago has taken the recent meetings, including a 36-10 win in 2024, so slight away lean despite Carolina's home field; expect a competitive one-possession game.

Carolina Panthers win
