Last week was chaos with upsets galore, and only one of our staffers was above .500 with their game picks (the other five all went exactly 8–8). So should we expect more of the same this week? There are a few games where multiple writers or editors predict an upset.

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

Miami head coach Mike McDaniel is just 5-8 against the spread as an underdog and is facing a Seahawks defense that ranks third in pass rush win rate and fifth in DVOA. The Dolphins do have the advantage of extra rest, but the Seahawks are getting solid play from Geno Smith and rank second in expected points contributed by passing defense.
