I Battled ChatGPT in College Football Picks—The Unexpected Outcome Will Shock You

Picking winners against the spread in college football is not easy. As the saying goes, they don’t build those buildings in Las Vegas because the house consistently loses. Gambling is hard, and as I’ve been getting beat up a bit this season, I decided to let ChatGPT make its own picks against the spread to see if artificial intelligence was any better at this than I was.

Here is a breakdown of what exactly I told ChatGPT to do, and how many games I went head-to-head against the machine.

In total, I selected 35 games for it to pick. I kept the prompt with ChatGPT straightforward, telling it to make picks against the spread, which I provided, and to take into consideration key injuries. I was also sure to make note of which team was the home team.
