5 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 5 have settled, averaging 60 out of 100, against 80 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> I think the Chiefs straight up run through the Dolphins' face and win by two touchdowns.
