3 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> I bet they... I I... Ends up being six and eleven.
