A Supercomputer has predicted the final standings of each NFL division after Week 6 of the 2026 season and the results make for fascinating reading.

The San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs remain unbeaten this season following their recent victories over the Washington Commanders and the Los Angeles Chargers, respectively, while the Buffalo Bills secured their fifth victory of the campaign with a hard-fought 33-30 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

In Week 7, the Minnesota VIkings return to action against the Indianapolis Colts as they look to make it six wins from as many games.

Ahead of the Chicago Bears welcoming the New England Patriots to Solider Field on Friday, we asked AI to predict the final NFL standings in each division in both the AFC and NFC conferences.

The results are based on current form, roster strength, remaining schedule and injuries rather than simply extending their current record.
