How did the AI prediction hold up?
Touchdown Week's AI Prediction had the Packers winning, with a projected score of Falcons 13, Packers 24 at high confidence. The pick missed, with the Falcons winning instead. The worst of the season so far for a High-confidence pick. Michael Penix Jr. went 18 of 25 for 256 yards in his first start since ACL surgery, Bijan Robinson ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns, and Drake London had 194 receiving yards as Atlanta gained 498. The model projected the league's least productive offense to score 13 and it scored 35 at Lambeau Field. It underrated how much the quarterback change would matter.
