Colin Cowherd#54 of 87 NFL pundits · Jan 15, 2025

Cowherd's strongest divisional-round take is the Eagles over the Rams, arguing Philadelphia won't play as poorly as it did the week before and that the Rams can't repeat a near-perfect performance. They also say they won't bet against the Bills at home against Baltimore, calling this the best version of Buffalo.

How the call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

The call scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls.

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.

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.
