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.
“the 49ers, they're up top at one. We got the Chiefs at two. The Bills, they fell three... the Seahawks, the Ravens at five, the Broncos at six... the Jags up two at seven, and the Bengals down five... The Vikings, they're up six spots... We got the Raiders at 10... At 11, we have the Cowboys, the Bears at 12, and then we have the Rams at 13... the Lions falling one at 14, the Eagles falling five at 15, and then the Saints falling two at 16... Browns up six spots there at 17. The Jets at 18... The Steelers at 19. You have the Colts down one at 20. The Commanders at 21... the Panthers at 22. The Falcons at 23... the Texans down 13 spots... At 24... the Giants at 25, followed by Cardinals, Chargers, Packers, Bucks, the Dolphins down at 30, the Patriots at 31, and then at 32, the Titans.”
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

Rich Eisen · Power Rankings · Close 50
Eisen endorsed the Eagles' defense carrying them to the NFC championship and the Rams being the NFL's best team, but predicted the NFC North sends only Green Bay and Detroit to the playoffs, that Kansas City wins five of its last seven, that the 49ers make the playoffs, that Baltimore wins the AFC North, and that Tampa Bay wins the NFC South with both the Bucs and Panthers losing their upcoming NFC West road games.Chris Brockman · Power Rankings · Close 50
Brockman argued the Eagles' defense is the NFL's best and will drag a mediocre offense to the NFC championship, that the NFC North sends only two teams to the playoffs with the Bears among them, that the Rams are the league's best team, that a healthy Brock Purdy makes the 49ers an NFC threat who will beat the Saints and Falcons, and that the Panthers win the NFC South.Nick Wright · Power Rankings · Miss 0
