3 checkable claims — 3 game outcome picks — 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.

All 3 have settled, averaging 66.7 out of 100, against 66.7 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> I am going with the Raiders. The Raiders over New England.
