  • This NFL playoff pick 'em contest pits Man vs. Machine vs. Dog, with USA TODAY writers facing off against a computer model and 7-year-old Maltipoo.

The article from MSN discusses a unique NFL playoff prediction contest involving three participants: a man (the author), a machine (an AI model), and a dog (the author's pet). The contest aims to determine who can most accurately predict the outcomes of the NFL playoff games. The man uses traditional analysis, the machine employs data-driven algorithms, and the dog makes choices by selecting from treats labeled with team names. The article humorously explores the methodologies each uses for predictions, highlighting the contrast between human intuition, advanced technology, and random chance. It also touches on the unpredictability of sports and how each method has its own merits and flaws, setting the stage for an entertaining and unconventional competition.
