How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive

2 checkable claims — 1 score prediction and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 88.1 out of 100, against 94 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.

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.
