Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.
How each call scored
15 checkable claims — 14 score predictions and 1 availability call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
1 of 15 have settled so far, averaging 90.5 out of 100, against 42.8 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.
