Reasoning
01
GPT-5.6 Luna
Carolina Panthers win
27–20
68%
Carolina has the stronger current offense, better turnover and red-zone profile, and home advantage. Tampa Bay’s uncertain Baker Mayfield status and 1-5 record make the Buccaneers less reliable despite recent rushing production.
02
Claude Sonnet 5
Carolina Panthers win
27–17
68%
Panthers lead the division at 3-2 with a W2 streak and strong recent scoring, while Tampa Bay is 0-4 at home and 1-5 overall with Mayfield banged up and poor red-zone offense.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Carolina Panthers win
27–20
64%
Carolina's offense is surging behind Bryce Young, averaging 29.2 points recently. With Baker Mayfield banged up and Tampa Bay struggling to score, Carolina holds a distinct edge at home.
04
Grok 4.6
Carolina Panthers win
27–17
64%
Panthers 3-2 on a W2 with Young efficient and 29.2 PPG recently; Bucs 1-5, Mayfield questionable, weak passing and 47% red zone. Home form favors Carolina.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Carolina Panthers win
24–17
63%
Carolina is 3-2 with Bryce Young playing well and a top red-zone offense, while Tampa Bay is 1-5 and has Baker Mayfield questionable. Home venue and better recent form favor the Panthers.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Carolina Panthers win
27–14
72%
Bryce Young's elite efficiency (11 TD, 98.5 rating) vs Mayfield questionable with a broken passing attack; Panthers' 29 PPG offense should overwhelm Tampa's struggling defense.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
Carolina Panthers win
24–17
62%
Panthers' offense (29.2 PPG) and defense (24.6 allowed) outperform Bucs' struggles (1-5, 18.4 PPG). Mayfield questionable hurts Bucs' consistency.
08
Kimi K3
Carolina Panthers win
27–17
62%
Carolina is rolling at 29.2 points per game behind efficient Bryce Young, while 1-5 Tampa Bay has Baker Mayfield questionable and a sputtering 18.4-point offense. Recent head-to-head was tight, keeping confidence moderate.
09
GLM 5.3
Carolina Panthers win
27–17
62%
Carolina's 3-2 form, Bryce Young's efficiency and two-game win streak outweigh Tampa's 1-5 slide; Mayfield questionable further weakens a Bucs offense averaging 18.4 points.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Carolina Panthers win
27–20
62%
Carolina's 3-2 form, Young's 98.5 rating and 29.2 ppg outweigh Tampa's 1-5 skid and Mayfield's questionable status; Panthers' red-zone edge (67% vs 47%) drives a home win despite recent H2H losses.
