Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each game. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each team's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponent's defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see an A-rating on an over bet if a team is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. Last season, SportsLine's AI PickBot hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Top Week 3 NFL AI picks
After analyzing every game in Week 3, the AI PickBot says the Rams cover as 7.5-point home underdogs against the 49ers. he NFL is always a war of attrition and both of these two NFC West opponents are in a spot of bother entering Week 3. The 49ers were already without Christian McCaffrey (calf) and now Deebo Samuel has a calf injury of his own that is expected to cost him multiple weeks.
Meanwhile, the Rams are down Puka Nacua (knee), Cooper Kupp (ankle) and a handful of offensive lineman. Ultimately, the AI PickBot is playing the trends here and backing the home team. Los Angeles has covered in two of three against San Francisco and has covered in seven of its last nine games while the 49ers are just 1-5 ATS over their last six. Underdogs are also 16-14-2 against the spread overall in the NFL this season and the AI PickBot is rating the Rams to cover as an A-graded pick.
