How did the AI prediction hold up?

Touchdown Week's AI Prediction had the Raiders winning, with a projected score of Raiders 24, Patriots 21 at low confidence. The pick missed, with the Patriots winning instead. A large one. Drake Maye went 26 of 34 for 374 yards and four touchdowns, two of them to DeMario Douglas, and New England gained 536 yards. The Raiders have lost two straight after a 3-0 start, and Ashton Jeanty had 27 yards on 10 carries. The model trusted Las Vegas' offense and should have weighed Maye's game in Buffalo more heavily.
