Chad Ochocinco Johnson#63 of 87 NFL pundits · Nov 14, 2025

Johnson says the Chargers will make a nice run this season, argues Christian Gonzalez belongs among the top five defensive backs, believes Kyler Murray will be somewhere else next year, expects the Patriots to stay dominant for a decade-plus, and says the Bengals' season hinges on beating the Steelers — while conceding the Ravens would likely win the division if Cincinnati loses that game.

Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive

4 checkable claims — 1 conference champion, 1 game outcome pick, 1 top player list and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

2 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
