9 checkable claims — 7 game outcome picks, 1 seeding, byes and home field and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

7 of 9 have settled so far, averaging 85.7 out of 100, against 42.9 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> Would it shock me if Jacksonville ended up being at home in the AFC championship game? No.
