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.
“A lot of folks think I did just recently by putting Josh Allen over him in the top 10, my power rankings of of quarterbacks in the NFL.”
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

Nick Wright · Top Player Lists · Miss 0
Nick trusts Josh Allen over the Broncos defense, picks the Bills to win outright in Denver (Bills +1.5 as their lock), picks the Patriots to beat the Texans by more than three, likes the 49ers to keep it close but not win, and predicts the Rams blow out the Bears roughly 42-28 with Stafford throwing about five TDs.Mike Mayock · Top Player Lists · Hit 95
Mayock says Philadelphia and Baltimore are the two most talented teams in the league, predicts Ravens DT Travis Jones has a breakout year and that Baltimore scores 30-plus points a game, believes Washington is not a one-year aberration with Jayden Daniels becoming a franchise quarterback, and ranks quarterbacks into tiers. He also thinks Aaron Rodgers will land in his 'solid' third tier and help Pittsburgh have a solid year.Gregg Rosenthal · Top Player Lists · Close 46
Rosenthal unveils their ranking of the top 101 free agents of 2026, headlined by Malik Willis at No. 1, George Pickens second and Jaelan Phillips third, and running all the way down to Jadeveon Clowney at No. 101. They also expect Quincy Williams to sign in Tennessee, thinks Wyatt Teller will start somewhere in 2026, and wouldn't be surprised if David Onyemata is picked up by Dennis Allen's defense.
