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

9 checkable claims — 7 score predictions and 2 availability calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

7 of 9 have settled so far, averaging 69.7 out of 100, against 63.8 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.
