How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
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.
“the Ravens are tenth on my power... Number nine on the list here is Denver... I'm putting the Vikings here at eight... Up one spot, the Los Angeles Rams... Number six on the list, up one spot... the Eagles... Bengals are on the list. That five... Number four on the list, up five spots... Chiefs are a top five team... Niners three. Seahawks two... the Bills the Bills were won”
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
