How each call scored
29 checkable claims — 16 season win totals, 7 playoff picks, 4 division winners and 2 seeding, byes and home field — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
All 29 have settled, averaging 44.8 out of 100, against 49.3 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.
