How each call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive4 checkable claims — 2 top player lists, 1 mock draft pick and 1 pro bowl and all-pro call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
3 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 29.3 out of 100, against 50 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.
“And that's why I like Loveland more because to me, it's like I would take Loveland on twenty six twenty seven teams”
