After 50,000 simulations, Kansas City won the championship in 7,105 instances. The era of artificial intelligence continues.
Sportradar's artificial intelligence simulation shows that Kansas City is the most likely team to win the professional football championship on February 9, 2025, making it the first team to achieve a historic "three-peat."
After 50,000 simulations of the 2024-25 season, Kansas City won the championship in 7,105 simulations, with a probability of 14.2%.
According to Sportradar's prediction model, San Francisco follows closely with a probability of 12.6%, while Baltimore's probability is 8.0%.
Sportradar's artificial intelligence technology, sourced from a network of 900 sports betting operators, analyzes tens of thousands of data points (including historical data and current team odds) to simulate an 18-week, 272-game regular season.
This AI model updates weekly with the latest game data, estimating team strength and expected scores, providing data-driven season outcome predictions.
In addition to predicting the champion, Sportradar's AI simulation also provides insights into other key aspects of the season.
For example, Kansas City is also predicted to be the most likely team to first achieve 10 wins, with a probability of 15.1%. Achieving 10 wins is significant as teams reaching this milestone have a 95.3% chance of making the playoffs. San Francisco (10.1%), Baltimore (7.7%), Detroit (6.4%), and Cincinnati (6.3%) are also strong contenders in this category.
In terms of division strength, the AI simulation ranks each division based on their win rate against teams outside their division. The Northern American division is expected to be the strongest, with a win rate of 57.9%, followed by the Northern National division (55.2%), the Western American division (53.8%), and the Western National division (52.2%).
Finally, according to artificial intelligence predictions, the most likely championship matchup is a rematch between Kansas City and San Francisco, with a probability of 5.4%. Other potential matchups include Kansas City versus Philadelphia (3.4%), Baltimore versus San Francisco (3.3%), Kansas City versus Detroit (3.1%), and Cincinnati versus San Francisco (2.6%).
