3 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks and 1 score prediction — 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 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> So I I see the Ravens winning this game 38 Wow. 34.
