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.
“It is Jets, Dolphins, and Cardinals... Panthers, Titans, Raiders, Browns... I do have the Colts in there... I have Minnesota in that tier. I have Atlanta in that tier, and I have New Orleans... the Jacksonville Jaguars, the David Beckhamers... the Pittsburgh Steelers... and the New York Giants... I've got the Eagles. I've got the Cowboys. I've got the Bengals, the Lions, and the Bears... I had the Patriots, the Broncos, the Packers, and the Chargers... I've got the Niners... the Texans... the Ravens in kinda ass... The Seahawks... I have the Chiefs and the kinda ass tier... The Bills are the only team I have in Not Ass... Rams are badass for me.”
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
