Reasoning
01
GPT-6 Luna
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–23
56%
With limited 2026 form data, Cincinnati gets a modest Paycor Stadium edge. Both teams have recently produced competitive meetings, so Tampa Bay should keep this Week 1 matchup close rather than face a major deficit.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–24
55%
Season opener at Paycor Stadium; Bengals' explosive passing attack with Burrow should edge a competitive shootout against a solid but not elite Tampa defense.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–23
62%
Cincinnati holds the home advantage at Paycor Stadium, where their potent passing attack should narrowly outpace Tampa Bay's balanced offense in a competitive season opener.
04
Grok 4.7
Cincinnati Bengals win
24–21
55%
Week 1 2026 form is unknown; Cincinnati’s home venue and two recent regular-season H2H wins support a narrow Paycor win in a typical one-possession NFL game.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–24
58%
Cincinnati's home edge at Paycor and Burrow-led offense give them a slight Week 1 advantage, but Tampa Bay's recent H2H win and competitive roster keep this a one-possession game.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Cincinnati Bengals win
24–20
52%
Week 1 opener with limited current form data; Bengals' home advantage at Paycor Stadium and recent H2H edge give slight lean in a close contest.
07
Mistral Medium 3.5
Cincinnati Bengals win
24–20
60%
Home edge and recent H2H favor Bengals; expect close, moderate-scoring Week 1 game.
08
Kimi K3
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–23
58%
Week 1 at Paycor favors Cincinnati’s home passing rhythm, while Tampa Bay usually keeps games competitive; H2H is mixed and partly preseason, so only a modest lean.
09
GLM 5.3
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–21
58%
Bengals at Paycor Stadium with Burrow-led offense edge; H2H favors Cincinnati in real games. Buccaneers' strong passing attack keeps it close, so moderate confidence.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Cincinnati Bengals win
27–20
55%
Bengals have home venue and won last two regular-season H2H meetings; expect competitive scoring with slight edge.
