Summary
Instead of doing the standard win/loss prediction everyone else does, Ryan handed the 2026 Packers schedule to multiple
AIs β Grok, Claude, and ChatGPT β and had them simulate the season week by week, complete with final scores, key plays,
and the reason the Packers won or lost each game. Three of the four models landed at exactly 11-6.
What came out isn't just a schedule prediction β it's an accidental portrait of what being a Packer fan feels like every
year. The Week 1 loss in Minnesota that sends everyone into full panic. The Jets win that doesn't really count. The
Micah Parsons homecoming game against the Bears. The Rams loss on two costly interceptions that breaks everybody. The
Bills loss at home that makes you question everything. The Christmas Day win in Chicago that brings everyone back. And
then the Week 18 loss to Detroit on a missed field goal that sends you into the playoffs feeling somehow both good and
terrible about 11-6.
Ryan's takeaway: there's no combination of six losses that feels good. But 11-6 is 11-6, the off season is actually kind
of relaxing, and the regular season is going to be exactly this β all of it β whether you're ready or not.

| 0:00.0 | Oh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:13.2 | I am your host and resident panelist, as always, Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:16.9 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:19.6 | Find me on Twitter pack underscore net a app. |
| 0:24.1 | So I had a little bit of a thought here. And this was something that was kind of evolving. |
| 0:28.8 | I was going to do it yesterday. And then I was like, well, what if I did this? Well, what if I edited this? |
| 0:32.6 | And I thought, all right, let's just, let's scrap that. We'll do something else. And then tomorrow we'll do this. As I was kind of perusing through, obviously everybody was talking schedule, release, blah, blah, blah, apparently the thing to do if you're a content creator, which is something I usually don't care to do. I don't know. It just feels so... |
| 0:55.0 | I don't know. What's the point? |
| 0:59.1 | But what everybody loves to do is to go through game by game and say whether we win or lose. |
| 1:06.0 | Obviously, this whole thing is stupid. I mean, everything we do is somewhat speculation, but the amount of |
| 1:11.9 | variables are staggering, and there's no point in doing it. And so ultimately, all anybody ever ends up |
| 1:20.4 | doing, it's the exact same thing, is you go through and you pick every team that you think is |
| 1:26.9 | at or around, uh, at a round or below |
| 1:31.5 | your level and you call it a win. You probably flip a couple of them. Maybe you'll take one game |
| 1:38.1 | that you think could be like a trap game and you'll flip it. And that, you know what I mean? Like, |
| 1:41.2 | it's, it's some weird combination of wins and losses that are based on nothing. |
| 1:45.7 | Because literally every single one of these games can be a loss and every single one of these games |
| 1:50.5 | can be a win. It's mostly a coin flip every single game. So what is the point of guessing? |
| 2:00.2 | I don't know. |
| 2:01.9 | I mean, essentially, the question of our record comes down to, do we think we're better |
| 2:07.1 | than them? |
| 2:08.0 | If yes, call it a win. |
