How did the AI prediction hold up?
Touchdown Week's AI Prediction had the Lions winning, with a projected score of Lions 31, Panthers 24 at medium confidence. The pick missed, with the Panthers winning instead. The model called for the week's highest total and got it, 58 points against a projected 55, but on the wrong side. Bryce Young threw for 329 yards and Tetairoa McMillan caught 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. Jared Goff threw 52 passes for 412 yards and Detroit's streak of 31-point games ended at three. The Lions' defense, flagged in the preview as the risk, has now allowed 127 points in four games.
