While most of us didn't expect Florida vs. Houston in the NCAA Championship tonight (8:50 p.m. ET, CBS), it could shape up as one of the best March Madness title games of all time. Our AI bracket predictions nearly predicted a perfect bracket through the first few rounds, so what does ChatGPT have to say about tonight's NCAA Tournament final?

We're turning to the popular chatbot once again for our Florida vs. Houston AI predictions for the NCAA Championship. We asked ChatGPT for its score prediction of the national championship game tonight, as well as its best bets against the spread, moneyline, and total and its favorite player prop bet for the title game.

🤖 NCAA Championship AI predictions & March Madness projections tonight

Our AI-generated projections for the NCAA Championship were generated using the ChatGPT 4o model - which relied on probabilistic modeling to generate its exact score projection, best bets, and top player prop for Florida vs. Houston in tonight's title game.

The baseline model has been trained on decades of NCAA Tournament data, but we also trained it using 2025 team metrics for both teams including:

  • Adjusted offensive + defensive ratings
  • Tempo
  • Luck factor
  • Strength of schedule
  • NET rating differential

To be clear: ChatGPT is a large language model and not specifically designed for predicting sporting events, so these projections should be viewed as entertainment or a supplementary data point for your March Madness betting research.

The AI model can often spot trends or insights that bettors might overlook, but it doesn't replace expert analysis. Be sure to check out our Florida vs. Houston prediction and our best Florida vs. Houston early picks for full coverage of the NCAA Championship tonight.
