How each call scored

12 checkable claims — 2 award picks, 2 depth chart calls, 2 season win totals, 2 trade and signing calls, 1 game outcome pick, 1 player season number, 1 positional finish and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

1 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3.

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.
