How the call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

The call scored 55 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

    “Your top five running backs in the NFL... I'm gonna have to say jamiir Gibbs... I'm gonna have to say John Robinson because his footwork... I'm gonna say Cam cams Boat... I watched a lot of Jonathan Taylor... And for another one, I'll probably say David Connhall number five, the running back that's with Jamier Gill... David Monty”
